11th Democratic Debate Breakdown | Bernie Sanders vs Joe Biden | QT Politics

Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders faced off one on one in the 11th Democratic Debate, hosted by CNN and Univision in Washington DC. So, who won the debate?

This is a rather ambiguous question, given the place we now find ourselves in the 2020 election Democratic Primary race. Typically, I've distinguish winners and losers based on this question:

Who improved their odds?

But, as I'll discuss in this video, that question is somewhat insufficient to create a substantive breakdown of this debate. After all, at this point in the race, the goals of both Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders ought to have evolved beyond simply winning the Democratic primary. So, I'll also address this question:

Who did what they needed to do?

Finally, I'll evaluate the relative performances of both candidates outside of the context of the primary race, to address the more basic question:

Who had a better debate performance?

After all, winning or losing a debate can mean different things, depending on how exactly you answer this question:

What does winning look like?
