For the last question, the Democratic candidates are asked to describe a friendship 'that would surprise us.' The question follows uproar over Ellen Degeneres' friendship with George W. Bush. DemDebate
The Democratic presidential contenders were in Westerville, Ohio, for the fourth primary matchup of the season.
Former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke:"My flight had been snowed in, in Washington D.C. I happened to be in the elevator with a Republican member of Congress, Will Hurd. And on a whim, I said do you want to rent a car and drive to Washington...A Republican and a Democrat finding out what we had in common. By the end of that trip, not only had we formed a friendship, but we had formed trust.
Mayor Pete Buttigieg:"I think about the friendships that I formed in the military. People who were radically different from me---Different generation, different race. Definitely, different politics. And we learned to trust each other with our lives." When asked about if both Sens. Bernie Sanders, who is calling for a political revolution, and Elizabeth Warren, who is calling for big, structural change, could attract the kinds of voters Democrats need to win back the White House, former Vice President Joe Biden said,"I think their vision is attracting a lot of people, and I think a lot of what they have to say is really important. But, you know, Senator Warren said we can't be running any vague campaigns.
Warren then replied,"I am deeply grateful to President Obama, who fought so hard to make sure that agency was passed into law." "You know, I think the plan that Mayor Pete mentioned is an interesting one, but I actually believe if we were selecting from one of those things, that the smarter move might be to look at term limits or having people cycle off from the appellate courts, so that you would have a replenishment of perspective," Castro argued.
"But, you know, I'll go further," she continued."The reality of it is this is still a fundamental issue of justice for women in America. Women have been given the responsibility to perpetuate the human species. Our bodies were created to do that, and it does not give any other person the right to tell a woman what to do with that body. It is her body. It is her right. It is her decision.
"I would urge you to join me because here we have Donald Trump, who has 65 million Twitter followers and is using that platform, as the president of the United States, to openly intimidate witnesses, to threaten witnesses, to obstruct justice. And he and his account should be taken down," Harris said. Warren seemed to demur, saying"I don't just want to push Donald Trump off Twitter. I want to push him out of the white house. That's our job.
While agreeing with Sen. Elizabeth Warren that there a problem with competition among big tech companies, tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang took the position that breaking up these companies does not go far enough. "We need to enforce our antitrust laws, break up these giant companies that are dominating big tech, big pharma, big oil, all of them," Warren said.
"Because I’ve watched it. I know what the job is," Biden said."I've been engaged. Look, one of the reasons I'm running is because of my age and my experience. With it, comes wisdom. We need someone to take office, this time around, who on day-one can stand on the world stage, command the respect of world leaders from Putin to our allies, and know exactly what has to be done to get this country back on track.
With 3 of the Democratic candidates in their 70s, will age be a factor in determining the nominee? @FiveThirtyEight’s @NateSilver538 crunches the numbers. https://t.co/G7K5oxYJeP pic.twitter.com/ymZKtUfzBq Sen. Amy Klobucher took on manufacturers during the first question on ending the rural crisis in rural America.
"I am not going to give these police officers another reason to go door to door in certain communities, because police violence is also gun violence, and we need to address that," he said. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is facing attacks from nearly all sides at tonight's debate, and the Trump campaign is predictably unimpressed with her performance."Unable to be honest about raising taxes to pay for her healthcare plan. So obvious that she’s dodging and not doing it well," Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told ABC News.In her answer on gun reform, Sen.
After weeks of criticism leading up to this face-to-face debate, Mayor Pete Buttigieg spar in person over this gun buyback program. As her fellow Democrats discussed the dangerous influence of Vladimir Putin on the world stage, Sen. Amy Klobuchar took on how his influence could affect American elections here at home.
Yang warns that the U.S. is"decades behind" technological advancements and that election meddling is the prime example of this. "Russian hacking of our democracy is an illustration of the 20th-century threats," Yang argued."Artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, climate change, loose nuclear material, military drones and non-state actors. These are the threats that are going to require our administration to catch up in terms of technology.
Sen. Cory Booker came with the most concerted uniter-not-a-divider strategy. First he defended Biden about attacks on his son’s business record against … no one on stage. Then he played the role of worrier about Dem-on-Dem violence: “Tearing each other down because we have a different plan to me is unacceptable.”We are also seeing a very different Mayor Pete Buttigieg in this debate. Repeatedly he has called out his Democratic colleagues on issues he disagrees with them with a new frankness.
Pete Buttigieg to Tulsi Gabbard:"I think that is dead wrong. The slaughter going on in Syria is not a consequence of American presence, it a consequence of a withdrawal and a betrayal by this president of American allies and American values." https://t.co/E5cfLKiR1V #DemDebate "Donald Trump has the blood of the Kurds on his hand, but so do many of the politicians in our country from both parties who have supported this ongoing regime-change war in Syria that started in 2011, along with many in the mainstream media, who have been championing and cheerleading this regime-change war," Gabbard said.
"I think we ought to get out of the Middle East," Warren said."I don't think we should have troops in the Middle East, but we have to do it the right way, the smart way. What this president has done is that he has sucked up to dictators, he has made impulsive decisions that often his own team doesn't understand."
Joe Biden:"We have an erratic, crazy president who knows not a damn thing about foreign policy and operates out of fear for his own re-election." https://t.co/lH3olhjI2I #DemDebate pic.twitter.com/29BofMavIQ But Warren fired back, saying,"I'm really shocked at the notion that anyone thinks I'm being punitive. Look, I don't have a beef with billionaires. My problem is you made a fortune in America, you had a great idea, you got out there and worked for it, good for you, but you built that fortune in America, I guarantee you built it in part using workers all of us help pay to educate.
"My question is not why do Bernie and I support a wealth tax, it's why is it does everyone else on this stage think it is more important to protect billionaires than it is to invest in an entire generation of Americans," she said. "The value that someone feels in themselves and their own lives is not defined by the job that they have but is intrinsic to who we all are as Americans," she urged."Whatever we choose to do with our lives. We can't forget that."
In a staunch defense of the vice president, Sen. Cory Booker admonished the moderators for"literally using Donald Trump's lies." With automation threatening to wipe out the jobs of tens of millions of citizens, Sanders says he has a plan to ensure jobs are protected. California Sen. Kamala Harris called out the lack of questions on reproductive rights throughout the current debate, and the previous three.
"You are making Republican talking points right now in this room by coming out for a plan that's going to do that," she continued about building on Obamacare."I think there's a better way that is bold that will cover more people. It's the one we should get behind." "At the end of the day, the overwhelming majority of people will save money on their health care bills. I do think it is appropriate to acknowledge that taxes will go up. They will go up significantly for the wealthy and for virtually everybody, the tax increase will be substantially less," Sanders said.
Buttigieg rebutted,"I don't understand why you believe the only way to deliver affordable coverage is to obliterate private plans. We could achieve that same big, bold goal ... we're competing to be president for the day after Trump." Former Vice President Joe Biden, who has made clear that if elected president, his family would not be involved with foreign businesses, was questioned about why he allowed his son to serve on the board of a Ukraine natural gas company when he was vice president.
"If you do not hold him to account, if there is not justice, not only have we have failed this moment, our Constitution, and our country," O'Rourke said while saying why he believes impeachment is necessary."We have failed everyone who has sacrificed and laid their lives down on the line. And we cannot do that."
"I support impeachment, but we shouldn't have any illusions that impeaching Donald Trump will be one, be successful, or, two, erase the problems that got him elected in 2016," he said, before adding,"These are the problems that got Donald Trump elected. The fourth industrial revolution. And that is going to accelerate and grow more serious regardless of who is in the oval office. The fact is, Donald Trump when we are talking about him, we are losing.
