What Went Down On Night One Of The Second Democratic Debate
Trump’s name has already come up a lot more tonight than it did during the first debate. Tonight, Warren has said the president’s name nine times so far. Last time, Gillibrand led with eight mentions.

| Candidate | Trump Mentions | |

| Elizabeth Warren | 9 | |
| Steve Bullock | 8 | |
| Bernie Sanders | 6 | |
| John Hickenlooper | 4 | |
| Amy Klobuchar | 3 | |

I’m not saying it’s all gender essentialism, Geoff. I just think that it’s a bit disproportionate.
Clare, yes it’s odd that Klobuchar is not getting more airtime, but maybe it comes down to health care because Delaney has been particularly vocal in his criticism of Medicare for All. Or maybe it’s because he’s male? Not hard to imagine that’s part of it.
