Once again there were few differences among the candidates who made the cut; rather, it was a question of emphasis:
Tulsi Gabbard emphasized her objection to "regime-change wars."
Elizabeth Warren emphasized her wealth tax and all the things it would pay for.
Cory Booker emphasized housing and the problem of gentrification.
Amy Klobuchar emphasized her ability to win in red and purple states.
Pete Buttigieg emphasized his distance from Washington and its inability to accomplish anything.
Joe Biden emphasized his experience, especially as a member of the Obama administration.
Bernie Sanders emphasized his battle against "corporate interests."
Andrew Yang talked about his children and his proposal for family leave.
Tom Steyer continued to emphasize climate change.
Kamala Harris talked about the importance of black churches and labor unions.
With little policy differences among the candidates does it come down to who can defeat Trump, assuming Trump is still in office next year, or who can get a progressive agenda into law? I am leaning to Warren, Sanders, Buttigieg and Yang. They all show intelligence and the ability to analyze and think things through.
