Kevin Xu brings a special episode of his coverage of Day 1 of the Democratic Primary Debates in Detroit, Michigan, with both stories from real people he met in Detroit and his thoughts on the democratic candidates’ performance from the debate. TLDR: – debate did not address real wage issues that’s plaguing the manufacturing industry in the Midwest – the Medicare-for-all v. public + private options separation on healthcare is real – 2nd tier candidates are fighting to pick up the “moderate mantle” vs the leading progressive candidates – Warren > Bernie – Marianne has much longer staying power than people think – Bullock is not going to take off.
