>This has to be the focus of the Democrat contenders! Improvement for both blue collar and middle class cannot be undone by brawling with each other. That simply causes the electorate to compare the posturing and yapping to personal real life experience that does NOT match earlier yapping, so why would you listen to more yapping. Sorry but Klobuchar and Buttigieg talking over each other while the moderator remonstrates ineffectually is hardly impressive and Bernie getting angry at Buttigieg 's observations, may impress those who already have made up their minds but won't impress millions of others. And meanwhile, HRC still hasn't revealed her hand... at this rate she may "have no choice" but to ride in on a white horse to save the party.

The impression here (i.e. on my local forum) is that the dem establishment doesn't care how badly they lose in november, they just want to save themselves from being taken over by Bernies. And if it's HRC that'll have to do it, fine.

Not my circus, not my monkies, but... where's that popcorn.
