THE NOTE: Today brings perhaps the most meaningful deadline in the Democratic primary race to date.
But Wednesday brings perhaps the most meaningful deadline in the Democratic primary race to date.
Democrats happen to be in the midst of a debate about electability. Long before that's settled, though, comes judgments about viability.On Monday, President Donald Trump was frustrated by headlines about whether he had actually suggested blowing up storms with nuclear weapons, and on Tuesday he was just plain annoyed that the storms keep coming.Whom exactly he was asking remains unclear.
The president lamented this week how much it cost the federal government to help with recovery in Puerto Rico after Maria hit, though many on the ground and around the mainland U.S. accused his administration of a slow and subpar response.No debate? No problem -- at least for some of the candidates trailing the front-runners in the Democratic primary ahead of Wednesday's qualifying deadline.
"My strategy is really simple: Stay in the race, the field's really big, it will get smaller," former Rep. John Delaney of Maryland said on MSNBC Sunday.
