The first Democratic debate featured 10 candidates, most of whom were 'desperately trying to make any sort of impression.' More:
One thing became very clear during Monday night's first Democratic debate. It's going to be a long, long 16 months. Forget the candidates, it's the voters who are going to have to learn to pace themselves. assembled 10, count 'em, 10 candidates, many of whom you've probably never heard of. By happenstance, it featured the relative undercard of this week's series, with such heavy hitters as Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Mayor Pete Buttigieg slotted for the next evening.
NBC was no doubt embarrassed by a major technical glitch that occurred just as the second half of the evening began. As Chuck Todd attempted his first question, the audio included unknown, loudly chattering voices. Apparently, the previous moderators' microphones hadn't been shut off, and we were still hearing them. It made you grateful that none of them had gone to the bathroom.
De Blasio displayed his New York City bona fides by frequently interrupting the other candidates in a desperate attempt to look strong. He's angling to stand out as the most progressive candidate in the race, which is a pretty tall order when you're running against Bernie Sanders. Castro, not surprisingly, was strongest on immigration, forcefully condemning the horrors taking place at the border and making an emotional appeal by talking about Oscar and Valeria, the father and daughter whose drowned bodies were captured in a photograph that has put a very tragic and human face on an issue that Trump uses as red meat to incite his base.
