Winners, losers and the biggest takeaways from the Dem debate in New Hampshire
MANCHESTER, N.H. — When the moderators of Friday’s presidential debate offered Bernie Sanders the chance to hit Joe Biden on whether he'd done enough to support black voters, Sanders said, “I’m not here to attack him.” Instead, it was Pete Buttigieg who found himself in Sanders’ sights.
And for the best? Really, this was a fairly even stage — even including Biden, who channeled some convincing emotion after the opening set. Warren was back on firm “wealth tax” and social justice ground. Klobuchar and Bernie Sanders were sharp, and Tom Steyer had his best debate by far. Whatever adviser told him, finally, to stop staring directly at the camera deserves a raise.: I’ll second Siders. Biden started the night with his poor Iowa showing and promising more of the same.
I think Andrew Yang will leave Manchester disappointed: He didn’t get as much speaking time as the other candidates, after suffering a tough showing for his longshot campaign in Iowa.: Biden was the frontrunner in the polls for close to a year, and there he was predicting failure days before the New Hampshire primary. I understand managing expectations, but predicting a loss was his opening line!Outside of Biden’s opening, it was interesting to see Warren attack Sanders for once.
But Biden did even better, invoking the ouster of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman from the White House and Trump’s recent decision to award radio host Rush Limbaugh the Medal of Freedom.
