What Went Down On Night Two Of The Second Democratic Debate

Yeah, Galen, I sometimes think Harris could turn out to be the Scott Walker of the 2020 Democratic field — looks good on paper because of his/her ability to appeal to multiple wings of the party, but ends up flopping because s/he makes no one truly happy.

Gillibrand also pivoted to the Republicans’ efforts to repeal the ACA, which seems smart – wondering if we’ll hear more of that tonight, though?

As Erin Doherty mentioned on the live blog last night, a recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll found support for a national Medicare-for-all plan has actually dipped from 56 percent in April to 51 percent in July. More Democrats and Democratic leaners say we should build on the Affordable Care Act (55 percent) rather than replace it with Medicare-for-all (39 percent).
