Debate Night for Dems

For John, BLUF:  Last week's Democratic Party Presidential Primary Debate was exciting.  This week's event could be even better.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

There's another debate tonight, and it's not too soon.

From The Althouse Blog, by Professor Althouse, 25 February 2020.

Here is the lede plus one:

It's less than a week since the last debate, but everything's speeded up now.  There's the South Carolina primary this weekend, followed by Super Tuesday.  And last week it was all about piling on Mike Bloomberg, but now Bernie Sanders has blown up into a seemingly unbeatable beast.  So does everyone who isn't Bloomberg still go after Bloomberg, or is it forget about Bloomberg, and everyone who's not Bernie goes after Bernie?  Or is it more complex?

I don't think Bernie should go after anyone. He must defend and would do best to appear worthily presidential and above the fray.  But is he capable of controlling his angry face and modulating his yelling voice? Doesn't matter.  Let Bernie be Bernie.  It's worked so far, and how could he possibly change at this stage?  Stand your ground, Bernie.  Your mere presence as the frontrunner is horrifying and flummoxing to all the rest of them.

Buy popcorn before tonight.
