Some bits of the debate:

‘Rigged’: Critics Cry Foul as CNN Debate Slants Against Bernie Sanders  "Supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are infuriated by the results of the seventh Democrat presidential debate in Iowa because it appears that moderators favored Sen. Elizabeth Warren in the debate hosted by CNN on Tuesday.
"The clearest example of bias cited by debate watchers was when CNN moderator Abby Phillips had the following exchange with Sanders and Warren:" . . .
. . . "After the debate, Warren pointedly refused to shake Sen. Sanders’s hand, a puzzling move, as Warren tried to paint her relationship with the Vermont Senator as respectful and collegial." . . .

Fact Check: Pete Buttigieg Claims Climate Change Caused Australia Fires
“In Australia, there are literally tornados made of fire taking place,” Pete Buttigieg said when asked about climate change. “This is no longer theoretical.”
"But the direct cause of the Australia fires is a result of arson, not climate change, as Breitbart News has chronicled." . . .

Five little-noted doozies from last night's Democratic debate




"Before I drifted off out of boredom, I caught the first part of Democratic debate seven, on foreign policy, health care, identity politics and other topics, and oh, what a revelation about these last six characters from the clown car still standing. These are the people who would occupy the White House and you wouldn't want to be there if it happened. 
"Five things stick out as doozies of contradictions, hypocrisy and full-blown whoppers:" . . .

Democrats are getting nervous as they realize their base is tuning them out

. . . "Trump knew in 2015 that the media outlets were not only the enemy, but also dinosaurs, partisan, ill informed, and mindless.  (Or as Ben Rhodes said, "The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns...  They literally know nothing.")  Americans have figured this out, too, and the smart ones are listening to Trump as he tweets right past the media."

Latest Democratic debate the dullest political event in years  . . . "Combat troops aren’t the answer, they said. They were prepared to be commander in chief because they care about health care for veterans or education for veterans, which is lovely but ­really doesn’t address the question of how they would confront threats to the United States of the sort posed by the Tehran regime." . . . Democrat debate: Who were the winners and losers?
