Former Vice President Joe Biden says he’s the presidential candidate best situated to appeal to black voters, citing his commitment to equitable wealth creation and housing opportunities.
“How are we going to lead a revolution if you can’t support a rules change?” Buttigieg challenged Sanders. In response, Sanders said he has “cast thousands of votes, including bad votes. That was a bad vote.” The issue came up after an introductory question that included mention of the 2015 massacre at Mother Emanuel AME Church - just steps from the debate venue - in which nine black Bible study participants were slain during a racist shooting.
At Tuesday night’s debate, Buttigieg echoed Democrats who have warned that a Sanders nomination would harm candidates running in down-ticket races. Buttigieg says Democratic candidates who flipped House seats in 2018 don’t want to defend Sanders’ policies on “Medicare for All.” California billionaire Tom Steyer said that Sanders’ plan “shows a huge risk for the Democratic Party.”Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren is slamming rival Mike Bloomberg over a news report that he told a female employee to “kill it” when she became pregnant. The former New York City mayor denies it.
Responding to criticism Tuesday from Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren that he is the “riskiest” candidate in the Democratic presidential field, Bloomberg says he’s the choice “that makes the most sense.”Bloomberg adds that he is best positioned to run the country because he ran the city of New York.
Warren and Sanders share many of the same policy goals. But Sanders has performed far better in the early presidential nominating contests. Sanders’ handling of the pressure could be crucial in determining whether he stays at the top of the Democratic pack. Pence said, “Telling hundreds of thousands of UAW workers that they’ll lose their health insurance doesn’t sound like a winning message.”
Sanders and another Democratic hopeful, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have said they would skip AIPAC’s conference amid liberal concerns about its unwavering alignment with the conservative Israeli government to the exclusion of Palestinians. Sanders has said the group gives airtime to “leaders who express bigotry.”Prominent Joe Biden supporter and South Carolina state Sen. Dick Harpootlian said he wouldn’t mind hearing his name again on the Democratic debate stage.
Bernie crushed them
Sanders is not my first choice but I still fail to see how his nomination would hurt down ballot. If he wins the presidency the others will coattail to wins.
📌
Made the point well and generated a lot of applause
DropOutPete
Please address Bernie’s wife’s bank fraud, University shutdown debacle..is that Bernie’s literacy plan
Pocohantas needs to tell the truth about herself!VarsityBlues 1
Democrats then: Free healthcare for all, even for illegals- Democrats now: Russians are assisting Bernie & his healthcare plan would bankrupt our system
It’s already over. Sanders can finish 2nd in SC and it’s actually a bigger 🥳 then 1st as long as Joe in wins. Joe still standing on Super Tuesday mewbs Amy,Pete,Joe,Warren,Bloomberg,Styers splitting 70-75% vs Sanders Teflon base of 25-30%. Divided Democrats are conquered.

Tonight's debate was a Shit show. I did not tune into the debate to hear the candidates attack each other, I want to hear solutions to solve this countries problems, and we have gazillions of them! Maybe I'll cast my vote for an Independent. Signed, Undecided.
This is great. The Dems are now realizing Bernie can't win a national election. So they and their media allies have turned against him. His followers are very loyal so this is going to be great theater if they try to steal the nomination. Meanwhile, four more years 🇺🇸👍
Seriously. 4 more years of Trump don’t seem half bad. Bloomberg was right about something tonight. The democrats need someone who can work on both sides of the isle.
Sanders lost the compass and Mayor Pete, VP Biden and Mayor Bloomberg found it. Sanders was so bad defending Fidel Castro that his ally Warren was so embarrassed that she keep quiet for the first time in her life.
And your thoughts on The two women who were also on the stage. DO BETTER
The people think differently. Bernie2020
Bloomberg2020 is the man for me. He has my vote. My whole family will be voting for him. We are American born, Puerto Rican heritage. Stop and frisk saved lives in our community in NYC. Now in Florida we see stop and frisk too DemDebate
Why haven't any of them asked Bernie if the medical care he received after his heart attack was covered under 'Medicare for All' (he is eligible for Medicare) or were his treatment options covered under the superb, tax payer funded plan, that all U.S. senators enjoy
Pete only has one liners, no experience to be president not now, maybe in 10 years.
_Politics Is there anywhere out there that we can find another Democrat to run against trump, please. I don’t see anyone on the stage that can do. This is a race against him.
Hey is Joe Biden so angry at the debate?
See how the coverage compares against other news outlets on Ground News BernieSanders Medicare HealthCare DemocraticParty Videos
Stage of clowns
And state legislatures who will redraw political maps following 2020 census!
What company can set up quickly and manifacture N95 masks in USA?
For some odd reason I feel no blue person will win POTUS.
This debate is out of control. Elisabeth Warren is downright annoying. Raising hands and shouting over one another. Just get on with it. You can’t understand anyone’s point with all the finger pointing and yelling Biden and Buttegig are the only tolerable candidates
Like the one dem who recently turned a republican? Yeah, i can see he would be bothered by most of the candidates.
Trump 2020.
They’ve attacked Bloomberg far more than Bernie
Is anyone adding up all the spending they are promising?
Joe Biden is going after Bernie Sanders for his support in 2005 for a proposal backed by the National Rifle Association that granted gun manufacturers broad legal protections. Sanders said that it was a bad vote. DemDebate
Haha! Caption Pete, image : where’s Pete?
Circular firing squad. After the bedlam why would I want to vote for any of them?
Thanks AP of the DNC.
Mayor Pete is on fire!
Pete isn't winning in South Carolina, he doesn't have the most delegates, and he's not winning polls nationally. He's not the frontrunner
No unity. At all.:-(
Thumbs up for JoeBiden for trying tonight 👍👍👍
None of BernieSanders’s policy proposals will become reality b/c it will be senatemajldr who’ll be in charge of the Senate! Sanders will not win back the Senate & prob lose the House! He won’t even get a Supreme Court justice confirmed! don’t be narrow minded voters, be smart!
really? thats what you lead with ?wow 🤦♀️
what a shitshow. changing the channel as we speak and beginning to mentally prepare myself for 4 more yrs of Trump.
Barnum and Bailey has nothing on these fools
About fucking time, Liz.
