Commentaries on the CNN/ Democrat debate, 0ct 15, 2019

After CNN Debate, Warren Is The Democrat To Beat In Campaign’s Final 90 Days

That one little question the moderators all forgot to ask at that long fourth Democratic debate  . . . "So they had questions galore, going all the way down to Ellen DeGeneres and George W. Bush sitting together at a ballgame, but somehow didn't quite think the voters needed to know about their positions on illegals.
"It's not as though the debate moderators and their Democratic Party bosses were trying to not repeat themselves.  Questions about gun control, taxing the rich, and health care were already asked ad nauseam at earlier debates, and these got asked again, which is why little new information came of this one, but nobody wanted a replay of that first debate, when all hands went up when asked if illegals should be entitled to free taxpayer-paid health care." . . .


And another: Dem Debate Moderators Fail to Ask a Question about China, Despite NBA Scandal  "The CNN and New York Times journalists who moderated Tuesday night’s Democratic-primary debate didn’t ask a single question about China during the foreign-policy segment of the evening, despite the ongoing scandal involving the NBA’s response to Chinese censorship." . . .

Last night's Democrat debate: A cluster of tyrannical fantasists . . . "Each of those candidates on the stage seemed oblivious to the reality of the last three years — the fabulous economy, lowest unemployment in decades, international trade renegotiated to our benefit, millions no longer on food stamps.  Our military, eviscerated by Obama, is being repaired.  Manufacturing has been revitalized, and the border, despite the intransigence of the Democrats, is slowly being better controlled.  The wall is being built.  Everything Trump has done since being elected has been effective; he has tried to keep his campaign promises despite the Democrats' vow to see him impeached from day one.  And no matter how vicious the Left is, those candidates on stage last night continue to opt for mindless delusion that he can be removed from office in order to prevent his re-election." .  . .

Drunkblogging the October Democratic Debate: "We're all acknowledging that we have to reach across the aisle to get things done."
"Biden took a nice question and turned it into a screaming Orange Man Bad rant."
How about "come together"?

How Can We Fix Debate in America?  . . . "Debate done correctly can open minds rather than close them.  Debate can solve the spiral of silence that can afflict a society too divided by partisanship." . . . 


Kamala Harris’s Debate Performance Was Pathetic  . . . "It’s hard to imagine Harris helped herself at Tuesday night’s debate in Ohio. Given the chance to confront co-frontrunner Elizabeth Warren, Harris aggressively challenged the Massachusetts senator to … call on Twitter to delete Donald Trump’s account. Really." . . .

The candidates debate impeachment...kind of  . . . "It can't be pointed out often enough that the plotters had to strike swiftly, accurately, and hard to succeed.  They have done none of these things, and their impeachment effort, as a result, is in a state of collapse." . . .

National Review versus The Circus of Liars  . . . "It’s very easy to write that the Democrats have assembled a bunch of idiots. But only a Mark Krikorian can spell out how the candidates don’t know the basics of our current immigration policy, or how they’re calling for the creation of programs that already exist. When Beto O’Rourke called for gun confiscation, our Charlie Cooke instantly recognized and explained how Beto’s debate-stage rallying cry undid decades of work by the gun-control movement. Madeleine Kearns laid out how the Democratic candidates’ discussion of gender reflects a “tirade of alphabet activism.” Kevin Williamson notes how often progressive voices lament polarization as if it just came out of nowhere from entirely natural sources, like a hurricane — absolving themselves of any responsibility and ignoring their own role as anti-constitutional provocateurs and culture war aggressors.
"And the most recent issue features eleven — eleven! — writers dissecting the uninspiring record, extreme proposals, and implausible promises of Elizabeth Warren." . . .
