The fireworks at Wednesday night's DemDebate raised five as-yet-unanswered questions
Will what happened in Vegas stay in Vegas? Photo: Mark Ralston/AFP via Getty Images The Democrats’ night of boxing and gambling in Las Vegas on Wednesday delivered clear answers to many questions that had been hanging over the 2020 race.
Since her fleeting moment as the race’s front-runner last fall, Warren has bled support to Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg. But it was Amy Klobuchar’s sudden surge in New Hampshire that dropped Warren into “also ran” status. Becoming the second-most popular choice among ideologically committed progressives and “wine-track” liberals hurt the senator; but losing the title of “No.1 choice for voters who want a strong female standard-bearer” threatened to kill her candidacy.
2) Will anti-Bernie Democrats realize that Joe Biden is still their best bet? Even before Bloomberg revealed himself to be a clothes-less emperor on national television Wednesday night, Uncle Joe looked like the sturdiest vessel for Establishment Democrats to ride back to power. Yes, Biden is 77 going on 106. Yes, he now struggles to translate his mind’s motley morass of half-remembered talking points and free associations into orderly, intelligible English sentences.
And yet, Bloomberg’s half-a-billion dollars have proven sufficient to secure him second place in national polls — and the lead in many surveys of Super Tuesday states — despite his heavy baggage and belated entrance into the race. It’s possible then that the mogul can bury last night’s fiasco beneath a barrage of paid messaging, if he’s willing to dig deep enough into his $60 billion fortune.
Their case is simple: A recent Gallup poll found that 53 percent of Americans say they will not vote for a socialist, and Bernie Sanders is the only candidate who describes himself as a socialist. More than 70 percent of Americans say their private health insurance is good or excellent; Sanders’s health-care plan would eliminate private health insurance.
