The South Carolina DemDebate was raucous and passionate, but did any candidate distinguish themselves? theshrillest and gdebenedetti discuss
Democratic presidential candidates former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Elizabeth Warren , Sen. Bernie Sanders , former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Amy Klobuchar participate in the Democratic presidential primary debate at the Charleston Gaillard Center on February 25, 2020 in Charleston, South Carolina.
Gabe: It’s hard to pick out any moment that really distinguished any one candidate, at least in a way that’ll change or alter the trajectory of the race, either here in SC or on Super Tuesday. One of the results of the constant crosstalk and muddle was that everyone walks away just sorta feeling OK, I think, or at least no more or less OK than before.
Gabe: I usually object to that argument because every single 2016 Republican debate was far worse than this one, and Trump won. But I see an argument that Biden’s team might feel a bit better, since they entered this race with a lead in SC and didn’t do anything to obviously cede it to Sanders or Steyer. I mean, we’re all too cynical, but it’s exceedingly hard to blame us by now. Buttigieg, too, could make a case for feeling a bit better.
Gabe: Yes, and I was very surprised that the talk of his interest in a 2012 primary of President Obama was allowed to just fizzle after Biden brought it up early on. However, it’s telling that we constantly just see the same old knocks on Sanders. He knows how to answer the “you’re too far left, you’re unrealistic, your plans are too expensive” arguments by now, and this debate didn’t really give them all an opportunity to have out the newer questions fully.
