The partisan factions aren't fighting for anything more than the power to destroy each other.

Deval Patrick, former Massachusetts governor, is the latest to join an already-crowded field.

People who voted for Donald Trump have far more favorable views of Gabbard than those who voted for Hillary Clinton. And because the state has an open primary, that could be significant.

Health care policy has dominated the early 2020 debates, and Obamacare has few defenders left.
Fellow Democratic candidates took aim over how Warren plans to pay for all the "free" stuff she's promising, her policy in the Middle East, and her thoughts on Trump's Twitter account.
Asked how he'd actually follow through on his promise to "take your AR-15," the former Texas congressman didn't have much of an answer.

Tonight's Democratic debate is the Massachusetts senator's moment to shine, if she can withstand attacks from her rivals.

Perhaps the biggest difference is how much trust the candidates place in individuals.
Andrew Yang's crazy stunt, Joe Biden's real-time decomposition, and whether any candidates believe in limits to government.
Democrats are happy to criticize the president's trade war—but many are tacitly endorsing the same protectionist views.
