The “by a show of hands” challenge has a controversial past in American presidential debates. Republicans chafed and objected in 2007. Trump stood alone in 2016. And on Wednesday at the NBC Democratic Debate, the first primary debate of the 2020 season, the show of hands-on health care got big applause from the crowd, but only two hands up on stage.

**SNIP**

“Who here would abolish their private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan, just a show of hands,” said Holt.

Only Warren and Mayor Bill de Blasio raised their hands, as the crowd timidly at first and then more enthusiastically applauded.

The follow-up questions on the topic of health care got more into the weeds, but the moment NBC wanted to make indelible was the show of hands, and for that image, on the question of abolishing their private plans for government-run health care, only two jumped in.

Wow, Warren and NBC just delivered some video that will be used, VERY effectively, against her in 2020 if she is the nominee.

Castro lied. He did not raise his hand. On Morning Joe he said people could buy SUPPLEMENTAL private insurance if they wanted.

Only the best liars raised their hands. There’s no way they would give up their gold plated health insurance.

Never raise your hand for anything. Ask me a question if want to, but don’t ask me to raise my hand. I’m not in the third grade.

Well if one Democrat health care mess was not enough lets have another fiasco. Anyone with a modest IQ knows the government screws up anything they touch when you have Democrats involved

“If you like your health care — too bad, we’re taking it away from you.”
