Roaming Charges: They Are the Walrus

+ What I learned at the debate last night….
+ We’re going to be stuck in the middle with Klobuchar…
+ Booker: such fancy rhetorical skills in the service of nothing.
+ The common theme seems to be that the Democrats will “unify” America. Is a “unified America” a 54-46 split?
+ Bernie’s voice may not make it through the debate, especially if the questions get any more insipid.
+ Biden lost the thread on his own prepared opening remarks, which were, in true Biden fashion, largely lifted from JFK.
+ Warren is the best story-teller, even though the point of the stories are often obscure.
+ Biden has a condescending smirk that is as predatory as Trump’s. Perhaps they have the same dental plan.
+ Mayor Pete in his endless quest for the middle ground came up with: “Medicare-for-All who want it.”
+ Biden, apropos of nothing: “I don’t like it.”
+ Biden misplays the socialist card against Sanders. Gets burned.
+ Are we supposed to take advice from this group of Democrats on criminal justice policy, nearly all of whom have their fingerprints, either as legislators or prosecutors, on the carceral system that haunts the country?
+ Harris is giggling again as she tries to evade her own record as a prosecutor and AG. What’s she been vaping?
+ Biden: “I’m the guy….who put all the people in prison who I no longer believe should be there.”
+ They could test the constitutionality of seizing guns by starting with taking them from the cops, ICE, Border Patrol and the FBI. We know that would save more than a thousand lives a year.
+ In what’s left of his own mind, Biden has never made a mistake and, if he did, Obama forced him to do it.
+ This debate is sorely missing the presence of Marianne Williamson.
+ Oh no, Beto’s shifted into Spanglish again…
+ Still, I thought Beto had his most animated, free-wheeling performance last night, highlighted by his vow to come after “your AR-15s and AK-47s.” At least someone back home in Texas was taking him seriously. The man’s name is Briscoe Cain (which Mel Brooks should have used for a character in “Blazing Saddles”) and he currently serves as in the Texas Statehouse as the people’s representative from Palestine.
