In Democratic debate, Sanders-Warren flap makes a winner out of Biden.
Bottom line: Biden's ship stayed on course.

Snips//

Who had the best night? Who had the worst?
Barrón-López: Biden emerged without taking major damage, again, and by default that makes him one of the winners — though Sanders had some notable exchanges with Biden, drawing contrasts on foreign policy. Buttigieg didn’t have any memorable moments, and that could hurt him as he’s slipped in the polls in Iowa. A strong showing in the first two states is critical for Buttigieg, who has failed to gain traction with black and brown voters.
Otterbein: That question would best be answered by voters! Before the debate, Warren and Sanders’ teams had telegraphed that they wanted to de-escalate — and they achieved that during the debate. As the Sanders campaign beat reporter, I’d say his team will likely feel that he effectively contrasted his record versus Biden’s on the Iraq War, NAFTA, etc. — and he did so at the beginning of the debate, when more viewers typically tune into these things. But he didn't get the Social Security debate he wanted with Biden — and he needs to do better among older voters, among whom he is running far behind Biden in polls.
Siders: Joe Biden won the night, as a beneficiary of circumstance. The debate opened on foreign policy, an area in which he has a deep well of experience, and Biden exploited it. Even better for Biden? The fight moderators really wanted, between Sanders and Warren — had nothing to do with Biden. The frontrunner left the debate unbruised.

1. UncleNoel, thank you so much for posting this. Joe seems in good shape. :)

I love that Biden let the night be about Warren and Sanders going after each other as he just cruised on by!

2. If folks

focused on who can win enough states to beat trump they would know it's Biden. Biden running with a strong progressive Dem woman would be a winning ticket. Win first, then move forward. Moving forward will not happen in a day either. It will take years to undo all the damage of trump and the repubs.

3. "JOEMENTUM" ?

That word has a meaning for us who participated in the '04 primaries. Biden could do without Joementum.
