DonLever Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48781165 Ten Democrats have clashed in the first TV debate of the race to oust President Donald Trump from the White House. Liberal firebrand Elizabeth Warren, who has been gaining momentum, took centre stage at the fiery forum in Florida. Candidates sparred over healthcare and immigration, and a couple of underdogs gulped much-needed political oxygen with zingers on Mr Trump and abortion. Ten other Democrats in the crowded field, including Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, will battle on Thursday night. What were the flashpoints? In Wednesday night's two-hour debate in Miami, the candidates at times engaged in shouting matches as they vied to grab the limelight. Ms Warren, a Massachusetts senator who has been surging in opinion polls, was one of only two contenders to say she supports replacing private medical insurance with government-run healthcare. Taking aim at her rivals, Ms Warren drew loud applause as she said: "There are a lot of politicians who say, 'oh, it's just not possible'… what they're really telling you is, they just won't fight for it." "Well, healthcare is a basic human right and I will fight for basic human rights Only New York Mayor Bill de Blasio backed her. But Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar said: "I am just simply concerned about kicking half of America off of their health insurance in four years." Former US congressman John Delaney also warned against doing away with a system that he said works for many Americans. Beto O'Rourke, another ex-congressman, was first to show off his command of Spanish, saying that a stable democracy should "listen to all voices". But the onetime liberal golden boy found himself under heated attack from former Obama housing secretary Julian Castro, the only Latino in the race.

Mike Vanderhoek Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 By the time the Democrats figure out who will lead if they ever do it will be too late. The amount of contenders and lack of any one coming through is why people should be gauranteeing Trump will take the next election. Pretty lame.

RUPERTKBD Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Didn't get to watch, but from what I've been reading, Castro was the one who did himself the most good and Beto did the most harm. Warren and Booker also seemed to get pretty high marks, while DeBlasio challenged O'Rourke for the worst performance of the night. Klobuchar was also a disappointment.

To focused on the millennial vote he forgot what it’s like to be in a room with adults, is my guess. Also, he’s not running against Ted Cruz I’ll chalk it up to a learning experience. He’s still young and will have a few more chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
