After weeks of impeachment weariness, Thursday’s Democratic debate was a welcome ray of sunshine and hope.
There was no one on the stage in Los Angeles that would not lead this country far better and with much more grace, optimism, wisdom and morality than what we’ve seen from Donald Trump over any single moment of the past three years.
The candidates – Former Vice President Joe Biden; Sen. Elizabeth Warren; Sen. Bernie Sanders; South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg; Sen. Amy Klobuchar; Andrew Yang, and Tom Steyer – had humor, humility, good ideas and even nice manners when they differed on policy. Wow. Just wow.
After each debate, pundits carry on about winners and losers. But truly each of these top Democratic candidates was a winner Thursday.
The only loser continues to be Donald Trump, who almost 24 hours to the moment before the show began became the third American president in history to be impeached by U.S. House of Representatives.
