On this week's episode:
The Great Debate
Tweleve Democratic candidates for president met in the Columbus suburb of Westerville for their fourth debate this week. For the most part, they predictably criticized President Trump and supported the House of Representatives impeachment inquiry.
What was new was the consequences of Senator Elizabeth Warren being the perceived frontrunner. Both Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg went after Warren for not coming clean on how her healthcare plan would raise taxes.
The big issues during the debate also included gun reform, opioids and jobs but climate change was not mentioned.
Snollygoster Of The Week
Former Vice President Joe Biden is struggling to justify why his son, Hunter, was given a lucrative seat on the board of a Ukranian gas company, but that won't stop him from criticizing the Trump family for similar behavior.
