6). Elizabeth Warren Has A Plan To Deal With McConnell

Democrats have a lot of good candidates

The candidates stayed away from attacking one another, but what they did offer was some serious substance on the issues. There are two dozen candidates running for the Democratic nomination, and the first ten on the debate stage showed there are a lot of qualified candidates who are united on the message that Donald Trump must be defeated.
