And Sanders tripped up again on race.

“Senator, with all respect, this question is about race. Can you answer the question as it was asked?”

[audience howls with derisive laughter]

Sen. Sanders low moment was when the he dogged race (after doing the same with transgender issues).

Finally a moderators interjected: “Senator, with all respect, this question is about race. Can you answer the question as it was asked?”

And the audience lost it. He's finished.

I guess we'll see by the polling who's actually winning, right?

What does it mean if you aren't even discussed in the article?

Winners:

Joe Biden: I'm not sure whether it was the smaller number of candidates on stage or a renewed confidence in his status as the front-runner in the race. But, what I am sure of is that -- from beginning to end -- this was the former vice president's best debate, by a lot. His answer on the need to build consensus and work with Republicans -- noting that he more than anyone else on the stage had reason not to like Republicans who have spent attacking he and his son, Hunter, for months -- was his best answer in any debate. Biden's response to questions about his age -- he said age brought him much-needed experience and wisdom -- was self assured and solid. Biden was simply more confident and competent Thursday night -- just look at how he directly took on Sen. Bernie Sanders on "Medicare for All" -- than he has been in prior debates.

Losers:

Bernie Sanders: My issue with the Vermont senator in this debate is that no matter what question he was asked, he seemed to give the same answer: Millionaires and billionaires are destroying this country. Which, if you support Sanders, is plenty good for you! But, Sanders has to figure out how to expand his coalition. And I don't think he did that in this debate. Also, his attempt at a joke in response to Barack Obama's assessment that the country needed younger, more diverse leaders -- "and I'm white too" -- fell very flat. Also, he got shut down by one of the debate moderators for trying to pivot from a question about race to talk about the climate crisis.

According to the pundits in the mainstream media that I have been watching, it seems they all tend to disagree with Colby's opinion of Joe Biden. The only network I did not check was faux news. Maybe that's where Colby got his information and formed his opinion. I can't say for sure, but I do know it was not from CNN or MSNBC who, almost to a person agreed that Joe Biden had a great night, as I'm sure Colby also knows. Willful ignorance is not a becoming trait.
