It was a new subject for a cable news town hall but a familiar result for the Democratic front-runner, who struggled to defend his record.

By JEFF GREENFIELD September 04, 2019

Jeff Greenfield is a five-time Emmy-winning network television analyst and author.

There were some moments during CNN’s seven-hour town hall marathon on climate change that had rarely if ever been heard on a national news forum.

“Can you quantify the reduction in CO2 attainable from geoengineering strategies you propose?” Andrew Yang was asked. (He couldn’t or didn’t.)


What about banning plastic straws?

“I think we should,” Senator Kamala Harris said, while acknowledging the short half-life of paper straws.

1. That's right repeat it over and over

Maybe click your heels together three times too.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

4. At least nothing

about bloody eyes in this one.

[LincolnRossiter]

5. It's in the article. The OP just did a crappy job of crafting the post.

It had nothing about Biden in it.

[sharedvalues]

6. The excerpts in the OP bash many Dems

I’m sick and tired of BS mass media trying to criticize Dems to pursue ratings and profits. It stinks and it’s bad for our country.

2. Lucky

I doubt anyone watched it. Sad but true. That said, as long as Trump is GOP canidate in 2020, Biden will keep trucking a long.

3. If you want to believe that, yes it went "badly". But objectively it didn't. Too bad...

...none of your excerpts quote Biden. What's the deal here?

7. These attacks on Biden are gratuitous.

They’re petty and small. Every time I read this crap it makes me want to give Biden money.

8. Agreed.

Everything he says is parsed endlessly. Why does Sanders not get that scrutiny, for proposing things that never in a million years will be achievable in this country. Drives me crazy. Run Joe run, we'll be behind you if you're the nominee.

9. +1

" The question came from Isaac Larkin, a doctoral student at Northwestern University and a Bernie Sanders supporter, who began by referencing a study that demonstrated a 40-year history on the part of fossil fuel giants like ExxonMobil and Gulf to hide the baleful effects of carbon on global temperatures. Then he asked: “How can we trust you to hold these corporations accountable when you are holding a high-dollar fundraiser held by Andrew Goldman, a fossil fuel executive?” "

16. but ... but... Andrew Goldman is no a "fossil fuel executive"

[Thekaspervote]

10. I hope the OP will consider post #7

But then again.....

11. Not one sentence in your OP about Biden

Why the bashing headline? Yang and/or Harris could have led your OP headline but for some “ odd” reason their names were not used.
Bad form.

[Skittles]

12. that's the actual headline of the article

[thesquanderer]

14. I think some posters don't realize that the 4-paragraph rule doesn't mean the FIRST 4 paragraphs,

and so they don't pick 4 paragraphs that actually make the point they (or the headline) are trying to make.

13. Joe Biden was great tonight
