Sanders, Buttigieg face scrutiny in Democratic presidential debate

[TexasTowelie]

Following their top-two finish in Iowa’s controversial caucus this week, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., faced scrutiny from moderators and attacks from their opponents in Friday night’s Democratic presidential primary debate at Saint Anselm College.

Former Vice President Joe Biden said Sanders’ “democratic socialist” label would stick to the entire Democratic ticket and sink Democrats among moderates. He took aim at Buttigieg, too, saying he has not yet demonstrated an ability to muster broad support, especially among black and Latino voters.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, of Minnesota, noted that Buttigieg said on the campaign trail that he found the impeachment hearings exhausting.

“It’s harder to lead,” she said, than to criticize Washington. “We have a newcomer in the White House, and look where it got us. I think having some experience is a good thing.”

Klobuchar also went after Sanders, especially deflating his effort to portray himself as a victim.

1. Sanders is no victim.

Notice that Trump does that too.
