three hour extrafagan zoo texas the university. congratulations. griff: thank you. i accept the honor and take that serious task. about the only thing the 10 candidates agreed upon on the stage last night was the disdain for trump. and division really was about the entire vision for america that you had front and center vice president biden flanked by warren and sanders. the main issue healthcare and, of course, medicare for all. watch. my plan for healthcare cost as lot of money, it costs $740 billion. it doesn t cost $30 trillion. we pay for it. those at the very top, the richest individuals and the biggest corporations are going to pay more. medicare for all is the most cost effective approach to providing healthcare. i wrote the damn bill, if i may say so. the push to the left, the progressive push continued throughout the night and also under attack was
and they did that. is the fight really over who represents the obama legacy, is that a relevant fight to base voters? it is at this point if you re castro. he has nothing else to say what he s doing. he s not the most dynamic. he s not the most interesting. he s not someone who has a story any more compelling than mayor pete or corey booker or anybody else. he has to say i m the guy who can bring change and diversity moving forward. i thought it was an effective strategy. at the end of the day, i think this is the critical thing to remember. you had two sets of requirements going into this debate. your corey bookers, your pete buttigiegs, then your top two, biden, warren and sanders. look. i can prove i m electable. and senator harris trying to figure out what she would do in the middle and that s why she said i m past this debate. for the different tiers, i
general election think it looks like joe biden is trying to speak to a general election electorate. sometimes we can get confused and you would point this out about republican primaries. just because someone is electable to you doesn t mean the primary electorate likes it. most voters, primarily primary voters, they re not talking heads, they re not political strategists although, have you been to iowa recently? the average iowa caucus is. go ahead. when someone says they re electable means they like him or her. doesn t mean they made, well, not my perfect candidate but other people will like them and therefore i m going to go for them. i think you have you re running a different risk now, which is if it s really true that we re down to three top-tier candidates and that seems stable, i think if you re a democrat intent on winning in 2020, you have to wonder, you have one of those candidates, biden, who has personal weaknesses and two candidates, warren and sanders, who have
when will you release them, sir? when i get the next physical. the folks, last night s debate was a proof, all be it in a proof and winding way about where this race is going. biden is taking a licking but keeps on ticking displaying a teflon candicy that s reminiscent and in some ways helped by mr. trump. last night reinforced the top tier, biden, warren, sanders and everybody else. the most important part of this debate was about biden, warren and sanders and over health care. they showcased their strengths and weaknesses in a way that likely isn t going to result in any major shakeups, at least not yet. this debate along with the prior two show despite the headline the democratic race is on a relatively stable trajectory as we head for the primaries. what it s going to be remembered for is the bare-knuckled brawl everyone knows is bound to
they able to do that? i m not sure. use his energy against him? dana: this is a lot of sport. that s why we love you. you make it fun. the thing is, the polls that we were talking about earlier, they all show that biden can handedly beat trump, but all warren and sanders. so the question becomes with the press covering trump so constantly, this is something we discussed on the five yesterday. is he just sucking up the air? if it becomes a, what are these democrats up to? tonight one of the break throughs we might have is a discussion of foreign affairs and national security, in a way that we haven t before. that leads to a discussion of president trump s conduct. dana: there s also a book, remember, corey lewandowski. permission to make a sports an nallsy? axelrod is saying donald trump is like dennis rodman.
