Democrats concerned and Trump emboldened following Iowa Democratic debate

Leading liberal voices in media publicly worried about the Democratic Party’s current field of candidates and questioned if any of them could defeat President Trump.

“I came away feeling worried for the Democratic party,” CNN pundit Van Jones said minutes after Tuesday’s Democratic debate on CNN. “Tonight I felt like this was a night they were all going to put the fireworks out there … you were going to get the best of the best … and to me, the whole thing just felt like a big bowl of cold oatmeal.”
