Jamelle Bouie - Assessing the Third Democratic Presidential Debate | The Daily Show
So here we are.,It is officially the third,-presidential Democratic debate. -Right.,You saw the ten strongest contenders.,People were really focused on the four up top.,When you look at this debate, though, fundamentally,,do you think Democrats are getting the right message,,across on the, you know, on the screen on the night?,I think that for the Democratic primary voters,who just really want to beat Trump,,that's the only thing they care about,,um, kind of, right?,The first 20 minutes of the debate was spent arguing,about health care and health care is very important.,But we've kind of rehashed-- we've had that debate before.,It's rehashing past things, and I think what a lot,of Democratic voters just want to know is,how capable are you gonna be on the debate stage with Trump?,How able are you gonna be to beat Trump?,And some of that was discussed.,A lot of other stuff was discussed as well about policy,,but I'm not sure the Democratic voters,are all that invested in these policy conversations.,That's interesting, so do you think the Democratic primaries,should be more focused on, like, who looks good on stage,,who sounds good, who has a feeling of being presidential,,because it's mostly Democratic voters,who are gonna decide what's gonna happen?,So the crazy thing is Democratic voters really want,to beat Trump, and they have firm ideas,-about what being electable means. -Mm-hmm.,But the fact that Trump is president,means that literally anyone is electable.,Um... So it's hard to figure out,exactly who on that stage,would be best for that task.,Is it Biden, who polls very well,,consistently high against Trump,,very conventional, former vice president?,Is it Bernie Sanders who also polls very well against Trump,,has much more left-wing views than Biden?,But, again, does well in the head-to-head polls,and a lot of Biden voters really like Bernie.,And a lot of Bernie voters really like Biden.,Or is it Warren? Or is it Harris?,-Right, right, right. -And I think part of the trouble,for Democratic voters is that there's no clear-cut way,to actually determine who is gonna be the best,up against Trump. Who is the most electable?,And, so, part of what we saw at the debate, uh,,was them trying to figure out ways to position themselves,for this particular task,while also trying to criticize on the issues,where each of them sort of have their niche.,You know, what's interesting, as well,,is people want to pitch themselves as a president,,and, at the same time, they want to pitch,why they would be a better president than Obama,without, at the same time, slamming Obama,for anything that he did.,-Right. -This seems to be, like, this weird balancing game,between each... "I loved Obama, but this is what I...","Now, Obama was great, but this is what I would do.",How much more progressive,do you think this field is than Obama was,,like, when you... when you look at them holistically?,And do you think they have to find that balance,,or should they just be like, "No, I'm doing it differently"?,I mean, I think overall,,the field's quite a bit more progressive than Obama.,I think things have moved to the left.,Even the centrist candidates are embracing policies,-that Obama wasn't quite ready to go for. -Mm-hmm.,I think this is really acute on immigration.,I... You saw this during the debate,when, um, Vice President Biden said,,you know, "We didn't jail people.",-And Julián Castro was like, "Wait a sec." -"You did.",I-I recall a very different immigration policy,,and I think immigration specifically,is gonna be this issue where there is an attempt,to create distance with Obama,because a lot of Democratic voters,want a more liberal, humane immigration policy.,But there's also this thing of wanting to show,that, you know, "I'm with... I'm with the Obama presidency.,I recognize Obama was a great president. I support him.",And that's a thing that I think they're trying,to figure out how to do.,It seems like on health care,,you know, that they have their arguments,,but people agree on the universal aspect of it.,You know, the main issue is, uh,,private insurance, no private insurance.,But otherwise, people agree.,People seem to agree on guns, background checks, et cetera.,Immigration seems to be the place,-where people are getting tripped up. -Yeah.,Is there a win for Democrats,in the space of... do you deport people,,or do you say that all immigrants,who come into the country undocumented can stay?,I don't hear anybody with, like, a clean answer,whenever they're asked that question.,Is there a clean answer?,I think... I mean, I think there's a clean answer.,I think that, um... some candidates--,I think Castro's one of them-- has made the case,that you need to decriminalize certain parts of border entry,to make it so that you're not throwing people into jail,for what are basically civil crimes.,Um, I think what Democrats should embrace,is the fact that public opinion,is what political scientists call thermostatic.,It moves in the oppo
