CNN’s Democratic debate kicked off Tuesday evening by focusing on health care, with a question to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) about his response to former Rep. John Delaney calling Medicare for All bad policy and political suicide.
If you took the time he’s spent telling people they’re wrong out of Bernie Sanders’ life he’d be about 14 years old.
I don’t want to see Bernie win the nomination but it’s moments like that that I am glad he is there pulling the conversation to the left.
OK but why lash himself to the mast of Medicare for All? Why phase out private insurance in a headlong rush? That scares people and I don’t know why it’s necessary.
Do not have cable… can watch. Another unforced error by DNC. Why would they allow their audience to be limited to only those choosing to buy cable or somehow access CNN. In my oppinion huge mistake.
This debate would be good if the candidates actually got to talk. The CNN moderators are god-awful. Interrupt candidates every 5 seconds so they can change the subject or pit them against each other. Intolerable.
More, it pisses people off. If you’re in a job that you’ve traded off extra cash in hand for better benefits over years, you’re looking at this and saying that you just got screwed.

I can’t watch this, this is stupid. Who cares what they say, when we have Moscow Mitch that will stop everything. I know who I am going to vote for, (anyone but Trump or Biden) so why watch them make fools of themselves, telling us that we will lose our good healthcare, so everyone can have medicare, that only pays about 20% of medical costs. No Democrat can win if they take away my medical insurance. Full stop.
Delaney is positioning himself as the republican on the stage. And trying to dominate.
Warren and Buttigieg are the ones I like.
No love for Marianne?
I just can’t handle that lisp… And I get images of candles and incense every time she speaks.
Buttigieg had a great line in his opening statement, paraphrasing:
How did someone like Donald Trump get within cheating distance of the White House?
I hope that doesn’t get lost in this poorly moderating shitshow…
I don’t understand why she’s here. Does she really think she’s running?
With the amount of guaranteed drug use in her background, no way to tell. She may think she’s on Jupiter or Venus right now.
Hey, it’s not easy to sell books when your career peaked in the 90’s. This is an extended marketing campaign, paid for by naive donors…
How dare my crush Don Lemon cut off my crush Pete Buttigieg!
sigh. All the single men on TPM, and you’re in love with two gay men in relationships…
