The problem for Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden at Thursday's debate wasn't that he was so bad. It was that California Sen. Kamala Harris was so good.
Harris and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg were crisp and commanding in Round Two of the opening Democratic debates in Miami, more dominant in driving the conversation than either Biden or Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has generally ranked second in national and state polls.
The impact of the back-to-back debates was to expand the possibilities of the Democratic contest. Biden leads the field, but he wasn't the only contender who came across as a credible president. That undercuts the image he has tried to project as the all-but-inevitable nominee, especially if Democrats really wanted to deny President Donald Trump a second term.
