So here we are, at another CNN debate where the start and end times are kept secret. It’s awesome.
8:39 PM: Jeez, releasing the Don Lemon Kraken. Bold, scary move.
8:41 PM: I think the national anthem was a shoot-out to people with non-traditional pitch.
8:52 PM: So there are actually other people running for president on the Democratic side beside Hillary and Bernie.
8:57 PM: Have to say I think O’Malley’s opening was weakest so far. Chafee and Webb better and more resonant than I would have thought. Sanders suitably strong and burning.
8:59 PM: Staff here says Fox did better by going straight to questions. Agree it makes better TV. But I think giving each candidate a chance to make their case at first is better on the merits.
9:01 PM: Hillary is benefiting by how stupid Anderson Cooper’s are. Good lord. He’s like the perfect foil.
9:04 PM: Can think of a lot of highly relevant differences between Denmark and the US other than the fact that Denmark is small. Cooper is perfect foil.
9:07 PM: Cooper: Sure the issues. But what about labels?
