the candidates who have a real chance of winning the race and i feel like a lot of the voices polling in the two, three, four present area will be able to rise to the top. i would like to see julian castro back on that stage.en i don t know why we need tom steyer when mayor castro iss available. shannon: i will ask tom steyer that when he is with us in a moment. don t say that i said it. [laughter] shannon: he s watching.t. mollie and marc. people were expecting a lot of people to go after pete buttigieg, and instead, a lot people want after tulsi gabbard. this indication of punching down. kamala harris had a good night as jessica was talking about what she went after tulsi and did not go particularly well and pete also had a run that did not go well. i agree on pete buttigieg. he was getting into fights with the lesser animals of the forest, which is never helpful when you are sort of close to getting the frontrunner status. i think frankly everybody else was a loser because
been stung by talking about $52 trillion for medicare. she s backed off. she has a phased plan which she tried to talk a little bit about tonight. this issue, biden jumped in sanders jumped in. it is the issue in the democratic primary. in the third year, when people have had a chance to taste it and play with it, we are going to vote and we are going to want to medicare for all. senator sanders, let me bring into this conversation thank you, i wrote the bill. the fact is, the vast majority of democrats do not support medicare for all. it couldn t pass the united states senate right now with democrats. it couldn t pass the house. and that was basically what mayor pete said as well about not overshooting when it comes to health care. bernie sanders, by the way, is saying that basically a i elizabeth warren is backing off and he is full steam ahead. medicare for all in the first week. shannon: as we noted there, vice president biden s income he
they were a lot of high points for various people.l you still got a feeling that may be the eventual nominee was not on the stage. while i think i agree with jessica on who she highlighted and other people had a strong night, some good issues raised i think the winner might be a candidate that has not yet shannon: hillary clinton? [laughter] you never know.at bloomberg? deval patrick? shannon: obama, i don t know. oprah. we are all getting indications including deval patrick, who would have some strengths, of the type we were just talking about. shannon: marc, bloomberg is in five states, officially signed on to run. he s not yet on the stage. i m sure he will get there quickly. what do you make of the folks we did see? biden won. also, here s why. biden is a front runner and no one laid a glove on him. he did not have any gaffes, he didn t really stumble. he the two hour format versus a three hour format works in his favor because they don t get
