Here is one
summary of last night’s Democrat debate that caught my eye this morning, it’s from Freddy Gray writing at
Spectator US.
It was, as these debates usually are, a fairly limp spectacle. Lots of radical noise, not a lot of common sense. The only clarity of the night was on Donald Trump — the great Satan in the White House, the man all Democrats can agree to renounce. This obsessive anti-Trumpism may rally the party. But it makes the Democrats sound ever more unhinged.
Meanwhile Michael Goodwin at the
New York Post observes new front-runner Warren seems to want to use the presidency for punishing various wrong-doers, as if she envies Harris’ former role as DA.
Warren’s finger-wagging demand that everyone “understand” what she knows about the evil nature of corporations, whether it’s Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Banks or Wall Street.
Her passion never seems to be about the benefits of her plans, only the virtue of singling out wrongdoers for “accountability.” And anybody who doesn’t agree with her is part of the problem.

National Review provides an
exact quote from poor Joe Biden which depicts how messed up Biden has become. Check it out:
No, look, demonizing wealth — what I talked about is how you get things done. And the way to get things done is take a look at the tax code right now. The idea — we have to start rewarding work, not just wealth. I would eliminate the capital gains tax — I would raise the capital gains tax to the highest rate, of 39.5 percent. I would double it, because guess what? Why in God’s name should someone who’s clipping coupons in the stock market make — in fact, pay a lower tax rate than someone who, in fact, is — like I said — the — a schoolteacher and a firefighter? It’s ridiculous. And they pay a lower tax.
He’s even more tongue-tangled than Eisenhower was as President. You kind of know what Joe was trying to say, but he doesn’t pull it off. Imagine four years of this in the White House, getting progressively worse.
