As expected, Elizabeth Warren won last night’s first Democratic presidential primary debate. She acquitted herself as the sharpest, toughest, most polished, and strongest candidate on stage, albeit among a particularly weak group of inevitable also-rans. She came off as a battle-axe — in Warren’s case, a battle-tomahawk — to an audience that more than anything wants a fighter. She evaded difficult questions. Warren even managed to turn her non-answers into applause lines.
