Good thing moderator Brian Williams announced at the beginning of tonight’s Democratic debate that, “there really aren’t any” rules. The final scheduled debate kicked off to a health care battle on MSNBC, in response to Williams’ first question. The back-and-forth lasted more than 15 minutes, and several attempts to change the subject were unsuccessful. Upon finally closing the table to response, Williams said, “Well, a 16-minute discussion on health care is certainly a start.”
