Critic's notebook: Not even candidates' quips enliven epically long Democratic Debate
From"Houston, we have a problem" to"I'm Asian, so I know a lot about doctors," the Democratic candidates seemed to be developing material for their stand-up acts — but the length of the event was punishing.
Everyone was breathlessly anticipating the event because it would represent the first head-to-head match-up between frontrunners Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren. They certainly had the opportunity to go at each other in the lengthy first segment, which was devoted to health care and essentially featured only those two and Bernie Sanders. Warren and Sanders argued for Medicare for All, while Biden defended his position advocating for improving Obamacare .Castro stepped in.
Biden was also interrupted at one point by loud protesters shouting something that no on watching on television could make out. . This third debate was different from the others in several ways, such as the fact that most of the people onstage actually deserved to be there. The candidates also seemed to have learned their lesson about attacking Barack Obama's legacy. Suddenly, they all loved him again. Indeed, Obama got so many positive shout-outs from the stage that you could imagine him and Michelle happily watching the event on television while sipping champagne in a hot tub.
