| Cory Booker's zinger, 'crazy socialists' and the rest of the week in politics |  |
| FROM WASHINGTON AND BEYOND | Friday, August 2 | | | | | | | | | | | | As the dust settled from this week's (two-part!) Democratic debate, a few things remain clear: Policy wonks Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders had good nights. Fellow top-tier candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had less good ones. And the Andrew Yang Gang™ gained a few members, judging by uproarious cheering for Yang inside Detroit's Fox Theatre. | | Night one's debate felt like a battle for the Democratic Party's future as moderates clashed with progressives. A frustrated Warren quipped: "I don't know why somebody bothers to run for president of the United States just to talk about what we shouldn't do and can't fight for." Sanders likewise said he was "a little tired of Democrats who are afraid of big ideas." Meanwhile, moderates like John Delaney and John Hickenlooper pooh-poohed progressive notions like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal: "You might as well FedEx the election to Donald Trump," Hickenlooper said. | | Polling front-runner Biden took the most attacks at night two's debate, fielding heat from Harris, Cory Booker, Bill de Blasio and more. "Everybody's talking about how terrible I am on these issues," Biden said. "Barack Obama knew exactly who I was." And after Biden questioned his criminal justice bona fides, Booker blasted the ex-VP with an already iconic one-liner: "Mr. Vice President, there's a saying in my community: You're dipping into the Kool-Aid and you don't even know the flavor." | | Now it's back to the campaign trail for Dem candidates until September, when the next debates unfold in Houston. But expect a far smaller field at that point: Candidates will be required to be polling at 2% or above - a threshold only six candidates meet at present. | 'Better to have a few rats than to be one' | | After a Twitter tirade from President Donald Trump labeled Baltimore a "disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess," The Baltimore Sun issued an editorial in response: "Better to have a few rats than to be one ." Trump's words on majority-black Baltimore also knocked Rep. Elijah Cummings, a Trump critic and Maryland congressman who is black. Democrats widely denounced the attack as racist, which Trump dismissed as a decision to "play the race card." But the comments felt like "racist words" to one black American living in Cincinnati, the site of a Thursday Trump rally, even as Greenville, N.C. - where Trump's rally sparked "send her back" chants for a Muslim congresswoman - wrestled with the fallout of the racial tension following Trump's visit. |  | | Rep.
