Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)My scorecard for tonight's debate. [View all]
Points given for maturity and gravitas.
Big subtraction for two things.
Minus 20 for attacking Biden based on trump's accusations.
Minus 20 for using republican talking points - particularly anyone who uses the phrase "take away the insurance of working Americans."
That phrase is used to attack the Medicare for All candidates. It is a lie and any Democrat who uses this republican lie does not really have the country's best intererest at heart. If you don't want M4A then argue the merits, but don't say we can't afford it. It is easily the cheapest way to achieve universal health care. If you argue against it, then be honest and say that you either want to spend more or that you don't really want universal health care.
