From the post-debate spin room, actually a tent. Congressman Tim Ryan of Ohio was asked what it will take to beat Donald Trump. “I think it takes somebody who can connect to the working class,” he said. “We’ve lost our connection in a lot of ways to the working class and we’ve got to have a big vision for the country.



“I really think aspiration about the future of the country is going to win the day and I tried to provide that today about manufacturing jobs and really winning the future around electric vehicles and some of these other opportunities that we have. That’s going to be really important because Trump has no plan. Trump operates in a 24 hour news cycle and that’s dangerous and it puts us way behind the eight ball when it comes to winning the future.”



Asked by the Guardian whether the Democrats can bury their differences and unite around the eventual nominee, Ryan insisted: “I think so. We’re all pretty much anybody but Trump.”



Meanwhile Marianne Williamson was asked about her debate prep. “I’m trying to keep up on the issues and learn,” she said. “I’ve read a lot and I’m learning a lot and I’ve also been a political activist for a long time so it’s not like I woke up one day and decided I wanted to be interested in politics.”
