  • Most think Trump should be impeached.
  • Some want to abolish private insurance, most want ‘Medicare for all.’
  • Inslee insisted that ‘it is time to give people adequate mental health care,’ a statement that won a round of applause. Judging from what was said from the platform tonight, I think he may be right.
  • Joe Biden was earning about C or C+ until the end of the evening, though: nothing brilliant, but also nothing disastrous.
