Summary

Abby and Robbie Martin give a blow-by-blow account of the first two nights of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate debates. They discuss how Tulsi Gabbard and Bernie Sanders were specifically targeted with adversarial questions, the unequal time given to Elizabeth Warren/Joe Biden and how candidates like Pete Buttigieg/Kamala Harris/Bill Deblasio were attempting to siphon energy from Sanders by disingenuously emulating his positions. The chip on Rachel Maddow's shoulder is also analyzed. Thanks for listening!

1:08.0	to throw their hats in the race, everyone from Bill de Blasio to Elizabeth Warren.
1:14.5	And what ultimately is going to happen is the votes are going to be split.
1:18.4	People are confused.
1:19.8	All of the rhetoric is starting to just blend together.
1:23.2	And the delegates are going to be split from who should be the nominee, which is Bernie, clearly.
1:28.4	And yeah, we're going to get Trump again, basically.

1:39.4	Like, not just the amount of candidates running.
1:43.0	Obviously, that's insane. But just the fact that the debates
