Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren appeared on the stage together for the first time
THE THIRD Democratic primary debate held in Houston on September 12th had been billed as a battle of the big beasts. More stringent entry criteria meant this was the first time Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders appeared on stage together. Yet over the course of a three-hour—at times seemingly interminable—performance, the three front-runners only occasionally locked horns and none said anything that will obviously change his or her standing in the race by much.
Ms Warren, who is Mr Biden’s closest rival, did not go after him as some had expected her to. The senator from Massachusetts makes a point of not attacking other Democrats. Despite some confident remarks on health care and one or two other favourite policy areas, she even drifted out of the debate altogether at times. Mr Sanders, though as ever an accomplished debater of his chosen economic issues, sounded weary and scored no new points.
