The performances of all 10 candidates in Wednesday's DemDebate, ranked from best to worst
Winning. Photo: Scott Olson/Getty Images Days after a heavily armed sociopath unleashed hell on yet another American community — and the president directed yet another racist tantrum at his nonwhite constituents — another ten of the Democratic Party’s top 2020 hopefuls gathered in Detroit to debate the many urgent questions facing our sorrowful republic.
Faced with stinging criticisms of his unsavory record, Biden argued that only a cynical opportunist would censure a primary rival for decade-old positions that they had never denounced before running for president — and then censured his primary rivals for decade-old positions that he had never denounced before running for president.
It is still early. And Biden’s inability to recite prerehearsed texting instructions to his followers does seem ominous for his campaign . But it’s not that early.

Biden’s lead over the Democratic field today is more than twice as large as Trump’s was then.
It’s hard to imagine how Booker could have acquitted himself better. The man managed to make the phrase “You’re dipping into the Kool-Aid and you don’t even know the flavor” land as a devastating insight.

But it’s conceivable that Gillibrand’s otherwise strong performance could win her enough voters to keep her on the debate stage in September.
[T]he United States was only 15 percent of global emissions. We like to act as if we’re 100 percent, but the truth is even if we were to curb our emissions dramatically, the Earth is still going to get warmer. And we can see it around it us this summer. The last four years have been the four warmest years in recorded history. This is going to be a tough truth, but we are too late. We are ten years too late.
