Then, yes, though the DNC apparently didn’t want you to know about it, the three Democratic candidates for the 2016 Presidential candidate gathered in Des Moines on Saturday night to hold their second debate of the season. The CBS debate was held less than 24 hours after the bloodshed in Paris and, thus, had more of a foreign policy focus than it otherwise would have, before turning to domestic affairs.<\/p>\n

We cover all of the above today. I’m joined for analysis by our reigning post-debate coverage champ, Heather Digby Parton<\/b> of Salon<\/a> and Digby’s Hullabaloo<\/a> blog, as well as Fred Karger<\/b>, former longtime GOP political consultant and 2012 GOP Presidential candidate<\/a> (and, in fact, the first openly gay Presidential candidate from either major party).<\/p>\n

As usual, we try to make sense of it all with analysis and fact-checking that, hopefully, serves to help create a smarter and better informed electorate…<\/p>\n
