Biggest Winners Of Democratic Debate--The Young Turks

++Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Wes Clark,Jr. did the best coverage of the Democratic debate. Cenk basically called it a tie even though he backs Bernie Sanders. Both he and Ana said that Hillary Clinton may have had the best one-liners and went after the Republicans. But all of them agreed that the two biggest losers were ABC News for failing to ask a single question on Climate Change and the Paris deal and not a single question on Campaign Finance Reform.

++The second biggest loser was the DNC for scheduling another debate on Saturday night ending about 11pm. Why is this important? Because the Democratic nominees basically are striving for Democratic unity and portraying the views of a party. When you don't make the effort to reach the general public, no one knows your position and millions are treated to the spectacle of the GOP nominees as the political normal. 

++Personally I thought the biggest loser was Martin O'Malley. I thought his attempt to relate to millennials was awkward and he came across as a weaker candidate than Michael Dukakis who had the same technocratic policy chops.

++The Young Turks thought the Democratic nominees came across with more specifics for their policies and that a person like Bernie Sanders, when asked how do you raise the income of the middle class,gave five concrete steps he would take to raise incomes and create jobs.

++Hillary Clinton came across as accomplished and steady. She will still be hard to beat. My gripe with her is her neocon strategy for going after ISIS. I thought she defended Obama care in a way that emphasized its benefit. There are only 8.8% of the country now uninsured. 

++I worry that the Democratic Party will not campaign with the wind of Obama at its back. Instead, it will get mired down on things that aren't real issues.
