The Democratic Party has demonstrated that it is not the Republican Party in search of a freak flag to fly. Saved by a 55/45 party. For now.
Welp, we finally got a debate with some actual debating instead of the soundbite snoozefests that have become the norm in campaign 2020.
The latest, and mercifully the last, Democratic Debate for 2019 is in the books. Let’s talk about it.
In The Race To See Who Can Stop Biden, A New Challenger Emerges – And He Could Be Biden’s Easiest Foe To Beat
There were not any huge fireworks from this one, so the fair question to ask outside the breakdown is, “Is anything going to be different tomorrow?”
There has been a push for justice reform in recent years, much of it regarding the extended incarceration for non-violent drug crime. Biden’s statement that non-violent offenders should not be in prison is not a new idea, and it is one deserving of some consideration.
Joe Biden talked about these formative events to a generation. The problem is that was not only a generation ago, but nearly two generations ago.
Over three months into his campaign and two debate rounds later, Joe Biden remains the clear frontrunner. Can anyone else in the race stop him and how can they?
Symposium: You want someone who can beat Trump. That’s the most important issue. Hell, that’s the ONLY issue. And Joe Biden can beat Trump.

Democratic primary frontrunner Joe Biden was unveiling his healthcare proposal, and the tagline he laid on folks sounds strangely familiar.
The DNC just screwed Elizabeth Warren. A foreseeable consequence of a poor decision.
Whether he wins or loses, Joe Biden will give us a story this cycle that we’ll be talking about for a long time to come.
I hope the future of the Democratic party looks more like this than like a nicer, kinder rehash of Trump’s broken agenda.
