Ha, caught a glimpse of the moderators cheat sheet to keep track of who is who.

Over pronouncing names. oof. Oh, especially when the actual latin dude does it smoothly.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

That was a pretty good answer from Booker. Castro trying to claw back, actually knowing what law has to change is a nice touch.

Strategy for those on the long end of the stage, answer questions you're not asked. I mean...hard to argue I guess.

Castro going after Beto specifically? Also, just say you'll repeal 1328, it's a slow and over the plate.

Did Booker practice his concerned look or is that his normal expression?

Well, we all thought Warren would get blue-shelled, and so far, Booker, Castro, Beto, Klobuchar, Inslee, and even de Blasio at times seem to be hitting their marks.
