Democrats Debate To Determine Who Will Spend Us Into Oblivion

One conservative news site tallied the proposed spending from the Democratic candidates at $210 trillion.

Picking on these candidates' spending plans, some of which will go away as the eventual nominee tacks to the center, is child's play.

The most mind-numbing debates usually come in the general election, when two candidates face off.

These freewheeling debates feature longshot candidates, who sometimes raise critical issues because they have nothing to lose.

First, some candidates want to reconsider the nation's often-unjust tough-on-crime policies.

Second, the candidates had a surprisingly decent discussion about foreign policy on the first debate night.

The candidates who more closely defended America's current military approach-former Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado and U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan have a ballpark zero chance of gaining the nomination.
