The CNN moderators, Dana Bash, Jake Tapper, and Don Lemon, seem to have drawn the most ire. While the constantly interrupted candidates on the first night, the second was dedicated to attempts to get the Democrats...

In last night’s Democratic primary debate, former Vice President Joe Biden accidentally told his followers “go to Joe 3-0-3-3-0 and help me in this fight.” It was a mistake. Biden just got his actual web address — JoeBiden.com — mixed up with his text message campaign for followers — text “JOE” to 30330. But Pete Buttigieg quickly capitalized on Biden’s error, seizing the URL for Joe3030.com and redirecting it to his personal campaign website — a quality troll move that may...

The second Democratic debate featured more squabbling than the first one, highlighting the generational divide with which the party is grappling. It also shakes the race up, thanks to the performances of some of the key candidates. As might be expected, the front runner, Joe Biden, was faced with the toughest questions and the most attacks from fellow candidates. In one devastating moment, Sen. Kamala Harris effectively eviscerated the former VP for his opposition to busing by telling him that...
