warren calls building upon what has already been done. and that, to me, is the macro conversation that was having last night of which the filibuster was a part. but that s the debate that is going to continue to carry forward. that s the fundamental decision that the democratic primary voters are going to have to make, right? all right. let s go back down to the side of the debate in houston. that s where we find former texas congressman beto o rourke, presidential candidate on the stage last night. congressman, good to see you. let s pick up the conversation we were having about you. we played your clip where you said hell, yes, we re going to take your ar-15 and your ak-47. let s get specific about what you mean there. is that federal agents knocking on doors taking the guns physically from americans? no, think it s expecting americans to follow the law. and i know that they will because i ve listened to them. i ve listened to gun owners and non gun owners alike. i ve gone to a g
trying to take healthcare away, aca away, which is we ll take it away from tens of millions of people. i think there is a miss there that they can be going in harder on because they basically all agree. and so so that s kind of the problem. look, last night the three hours of debate did not change what we have been seeing the last three months. the front runners are the front runners. the folks who were part of who are not part of the top three are not going to break into the top three. we are where we are and this is after the third debate and we will see what the numbers show. but i don t think anything has changed from last night. so senator kamala harris of california was really the only candidate on stage last night who framed the healthcare debate squarely about president trump. everybody on this stage, i do believe, is well intentioned and wants that all americans have coverage. at least five people have talked some repeatedly on this subject. and not once have we talked
