On today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a>, we go well beyond the horse-race (though we cover that too) for substantive, smart and, yes, occasionally snarky coverage of last night’s Democratic debate on PBS between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in Milwaukee, WI.<\/p>\n

I’m happy to be joined once again today by journalist David Dayen<\/b> of The Fiscal Times<\/i><\/a>, Salon<\/a>, The Intercept<\/a> and everywhere else and health care reform advocate and journalist<\/a> Jacki Schechner<\/b>, formerly of CNN and CurrentTV.<\/p>\n

It was the first debate following Sanders’ dominating win against Clinton in New Hampshire on Tuesday, and the last one currently scheduled between the pair before the Nevada Caucuses next week, the South Carolina Primary the week after, and then Super Tuesday on March 1. So, a lot<\/i> was riding on their face-off last night.<\/p>\n

Among the issues we examine on today’s show: Do Bernie’s plans for single-payer health care and free college tuition actually “add up”? Is Hillary’s attack on Bernie for criticizing Obama fair? Has she finally found a message that can work against the insurgent Senator? And what the hell is up with PBS’ obsessive embrace of misleading Rightwing memes concerning the “size” of government?<\/p>\n

All of that and much more — including our own Desi Doyen — to help you become a better educated voter and annoy your friends with facts<\/i> at cocktail parties, on today’s BradCast<\/i>!…<\/p>\n
