The main point i want to make that is not working for americans across this country. It works great for the wealthy. Demonizing and it must change. [ all talking at once ] the doebate is back right after this short break. Jimmy why are there 12 candidates in the debate now . Last debate there were ten. You cant subtract candidates and then add back. You dont go to the final four and then suddenly youre back to the elite eight. Its not the way it works. Amy klobuchar is still shes eight laps behind and stopped to have lunch and shes still in the race. It doesnt make sense. They need to pare this down. Its like the menu at the cheese cake factory. Theres too much to choose from. Lets go through the cheese cake factory and the candidates. Elizabeth warren is the super oxidated salad. Bernie, Chicken Salad sandwich, all over your chin, ma
