On the economy
Klob: Donald Trump just sits in the WH and gloats about what is going on. [wants to make Comm College free]

Beto: [so noice he speaks spanish….how inclusive] speaks of "economy that is rigged to corporations and to the very wealthiest"
[supports top 28% rate]

supports 70% tax rate, supports working class
"There's plenty of money in this world….it's just in the wrong hands."

Fix public ed system. Says he's different that others on the stage, an actual businessman. "I know how to create jobs."

Health care
They all want "every American" to have health care (they say)
Who would abolish private insurance? Only Warren & De Blasio (I think)
Warren: yep, she's for "Medicare for All."
Beto: tells sad story, then speaks of women "having access to her own body" wouldn't replace private insurance–de Blasio challenges him.
Delaney does too: Medicare for All won't work, Americans don't want.
Gabbard: Support Medicare for All (companies will save $, thinks they will support)
Booker: Medicare for All is best, speaks of people "profiteering off of the pain" of Americans.
Warren:
Inslee: focuses on women's right to choose, acts like he's the only one, melee ensues….
Castro: "I believe in Reproductive Justice''' [poor people should have the right to choose]
Any limits on abortion?
Warren: nope, wants to protect Roe.
Opoid crisis
[nothing of note, except maybe Beto being pro-marijuana]
