The Democratic Party featured a total of 20 candidates onstage for more than five hours on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and when all was said and done, one couldn’t help wondering, “Is there anyone else out there?”
No one, save perhaps Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, won much of anything in Detroit — and that’s not terribly good news for the party. Other leading candidates line up better against President Donald Trump in many head-to-head polls.
Former Vice President Joe Biden did better Wednesday than in the first round on June 27 and should remain front-runner, but one senses that time has caught up with him. His every sentence felt like a walk through a minefield of potential gaffes — because it was.
