On Tuesday night, CNN and the Des Moines Register held the 7th Democratic Presidential Primary Debate in Des Moines, Iowa. There were six candidates on the debate stage: Fmr. Vice President Joe Biden, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, Fmr. Mayor of South Bend, Indiana Pete Buttigieg, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, and billionaire Tom Steyer. The debate was, in a word, “bad.” From beginning to end, the debate just felt like drudgery, candidates doing the bare minimum to either try to bump up in the polls or maintain their front runner status. At the end of the day, the moderators, Wolf Blitzer, Abby Phillip, and Brianna Pfannenstiel never asked questions that got the candidates out of there “60-second-policy-speech”-comfort zone. In fact, the debate was so forgettable that the most “talked-about” moment from it happened seconds *after* the debate ended. A dust-up between Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders after the audience’ applause appears to have fractured the alliance the two candidates had once shared. But what does this confrontation mean for the two Progressive front runners? What does it mean for CNN? And, what does it mean for who goes strongest into Iowa in less than three weeks? All that and more on “The Elected Show: Debate Edition” for January 2020.
