Key Moments From Gov. Jay Inslee's Second Debate Performance

OLYMPIA, WA — Jay Inslee's second debate performance on Wednesday night is being touted as a big improvement over his first debate appearance in June, with the governor boasting about his legislative accomplishments at home and sparring with Joe Biden.

Unlike the last debate, Inslee was one of the first candidates to give opening remarks, and he used the time to pump up the crowd about climate change.

"I am running for president because the people in this room and the Democrats watching tonight are the last best hope for humanity on this planet," he said.

Here are other key moments from Inslee's debate appearance:

Healthcare


Inslee's second chance to talk came about 45 minutes into the debate after a long exchange about healthcare. He said the U.S. needs "universal coverage," but didn't mention Medicare For All. He got a big round of applause when he said that mental and physical health must be treated equally.

He also took a moment to congratulate himself for Washington's recent adoption of a public option healthcare plan.

MSN wants to "report" that he complimented himself.

Yeah. He can go on taking all the moments he wants, because what it looks like on the ground is that no one reads -- not even about their favorite candidates -- or knows who he is.

When they do, they'll be sincerely complimenting him, too.

At least msn gave him some coverage. Almost none of the cable news announcers did. I pity cable news stupidity.

VOX (not Fox) is his biggest fan, from what I can tell.

Thanks for the post, Yo.
