Dean Phillips on News Nation

[robocop (actually)]

I watched Dean Phillips for 60 minutes on News Nation. After each 15 minutes, here are what I noticed:
15 minutes : "straight shooter," simple, and prepared.
30 minutes : poised, accused of being partisan, rich by luck and had experience as being rich and poor.
45 minutes: had a brewery and ice cream store (he's Jewish). With the issue of Israel, I discovered he can argue and reason very well, very sound reasoning, and had a good comment that if you treat people like animals they act like animals.
60 minutes: many bipartisan pledges, wants to invest upstream.

Not sure what to think about him.

His willingness to argue that the illegal settlements were provocations is something that I found rather brave and unexpected for an American trying to make it in the democratic primaries. He's also at least 'formally' committed to Palestinian self-determination and security.

In his explanation of the causes of the war he's willing to provide occasional nuance, but in his proposed solution to have a ceasefire he also demands a complete elimination of Hamas, trying to play to both sides rather than a realistic approach.

I don't recall his 4-point plan precisely but I thought it was a good one.
