Bernie Straddles A Great Divide
Bernie Sanders straddles what many see as a political/ideological divide. So far, he has garnered impressive support, but ultimately will it help or hurt his presidential campaign running as a hybrid candidate--a Democratic Socialist running as a "real" Democrat?

In The Face of A Real Threat, Trump Dodges the Ball and Gives It to Mikey
Trump passes to VP Mike Pence the U.S. Coronavirus portfolio, leaving little doubt that the president and his administration are misguided about the raging global crisis and the very real threat it poses to all Americans.

Last night's Democratic presidential "debate" in South Carolina was a hard-to-watch (or listen to) intra-party slugfest that seriously damaged the candidates' political viability, their party's brand, and supporters' expectations.
There is no easy way to bounce back, but there should be ample evidence by now that party officials understand they have a serious matter on their hands and, on the cusp of Super Tuesday and political activities related to the 2020 presidential election, are dealing with it.
Leid Stories discusses the far-reaching effect, if any, that yesterday's ugly spectacle at the "debate" in South Carolina is likely to have.

Yes, there'll be another Democratic presidential "debate" in South Carolina tonight, which will include candidates who didn't appear in Nevada or who were only recently cleared to participate in South Carolina.
For many, tonight will be the second time in a week that they're squaring off against adversaries, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll do better.
It's the final faceoff before the state's primary on Feb. 29, and before Super Tuesday, March 3, when 14 states and one territory officially kick off voting in the 2020 presidential race.
By then, would the candidates and the contest change what it means to be a Democrat?
