You’ll probably never see John Delaney on a presidential debate stage ever again. He doesn’t have a single qualifying poll for the September debates or even half of the unique donor count requirement. But in effect, he sacrificed himself for the future of the Democratic Party last night with his line of attack against Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. It was both a Hail Mary for his own campaign and a last ditch effort to point out the economic lies of their progressive Christmas list.

Throughout the evening, Delaney reiterated the political unpopularity of abolishing private health insurance. But his most pointed critique wasn’t that of public support, but rather of dollars and cents.
