The 10th DemDebate wrapped up Tuesday with a series of fiery exchanges that probably didn’t do much to change the race, which could be good news for Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden. More key moments:
Bernie Sanders got a taste of being the frontrunner. Mike Bloomberg was once again in the hot seat. Joe Biden slid under the radar without too much trouble.
In their opening comments, Bloomberg told Sanders that “Russia is helping you get elected”; Warren insisted that she would make a better president than Bernie”; Steyer said that while Sanders has the right analysis of what’s wrong with the economy, “I don’t like his solutions”; and Biden invoked the nearby African American church where nine worshipers were killed by a white supremacist before highlighting Sanders’ repeated votes against the so-called Brady Bill gun control legislation.
Applause rang out, a sign of just how unpopular Netanyahu is with Democrats, many of whom consider him an“I happen to believe that what our foreign policy in the Middle East should be about is absolutely protecting the independence and security of Israel, but you cannot ignore the suffering of the Palestinian people,” Sanders said. “We have got to have a policy that reaches out to the Palestinians and the [Israelis].
Buttigieg chimed in shortly after, adding he isn’t looking forward to a general election that “comes down to Donald Trump with his nostalgia for the social order of the 1950s and Bernie Sanders with a nostalgia for the revolutionary politics of the 1960s.” That’s when Biden blew it: “150 million people have been killed since 2007 when Bernie voted to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability. More than all the wars, including Vietnam, from that point on. Carnage on our streets.”
Steyer denied the charges from Biden, saying, “I bought stock in a prison company thinking they did a better job, and I investigated, and I sold it.”Steyer said he has fought to end private prisons and started a bank to support black, Latino and female business owners. “I have worked tirelessly on this, and you know I'm right,” Steyer said. “You wrote the crime bill ...”“Where we come from that's called Tommy come lately,” Biden said, upending the phrase Johnny come lately.
