What Went Down On Night Two Of The Second Democratic Debate

I agree with Rakich that intra-party debate is healthy for parties and policy. But I also concur with Galen that this is getting pretty far in the weeds. Principles, priorities — yes. But numbers make for hard-to-follow audio, and is probably a level of detail not suited for this format.

I agree with this take. It was probably a bad idea to release a health care plan a few days before the debate when you don’t really know the ins-and-outs of how to defend it.

Galen, I agree and it’s why I thought Booker was smart when he said, ” … this pitting progressives against moderates, saying one is unrealistic and the other doesn’t care enough, to me is dividing a party and demoralizing us in face of the real enemy here.”
