Hardball presidential politics, a little like Mother Nature, has an unforgiving way of winnowing a field and this go-round there is more to winnow than usual with 24 Democrats vying for their party’s nomination.
In the wild, it’s called survival of the fittest and that seems an apt description for today’s presidential primary process, regardless of party.
We’re a long way from knowing who will lead the Democratic ticket in 2020, but one thing we do know from past campaigns is that debates matter, as base voters warm and cool to candidates. CONT.
