The Democratic debate, right from the start, was a brutal battle royale
... [+]Covering Wednesday night’s Democratic debate, set in Las Vegas, through the lens of how the presidential hopefuls can help people—with respect to jobs—turned out to be a grave disappointment.
Instead of calmly mapping out their respective plans for creating jobs, growing the economy and creating greater opportunities for Americans, they engaged in petty squabbles. For instance, Mayor Peter Buttigieg took great delight in pointing out that Senator Amy Klobuchar couldn’t recall the name of Mexico's president.
Bloomberg raised money as an issue when he asserted that he earned his $50 billion fortune and plans to give it all away. He then turned to Sanders and said America is a great country when “the best-known socialist in the country is a millionaire with three houses.” He also said, “I can’t think of a way that would make it easier for Donald Trump to get reelected than listening to this conversation. It’s ridiculous. We’re not going to throw out capitalism. We tried that.
Understandably, they were focused on other important issues, such as climate change, immigration, race relations and health insurance. These matters have been discussed ad nauseam in the other debates. It was a missed opportunity to use this time to launch their respective economic plans with Bloomberg on the stage.
