Warren: “It’s corruption, pure and simple.”
Exactly.
I’m liking Yang right now.
Ha! The gotcha comment to Bernie on race was pitched right to his wheelhouse and he sent it over the fence.
Quite a few suprises in who is having a good night it seems to me. Yang, Klobuchar, even Hoyer. But I think the questions are marginally better than usual. That helps.
They all also seem to be a bit more relaxed and not desperate for time. Perhaps that’s because of the thinning out. And so far no attacks. I do dislike the attacks.
ETA: Biden’s doing better than he has previously too. I think he’s been working hard on his delivery.
Klobuchar:
Register everyone to vote when they turn 18 and let no one, even prisoners lose their right to vote.
