      Booker talking about rail, a favorite subject: "While China was building 18,000 miles of high speed rail, our northeast rail line moves slower than it did in the 1960s. It's like we took the best house on the block and we trashed it."

      Booker, remarkably, is the first of nine Dem 2020 candidates here to talk specifically about organizing new workers. "We've got to organize areas that weren't organized before, like home health workers, like the digital economy."

      Booker gets one of the day's few organic laughs: "We talk building about a 'nation of tolerance,' as if that's an aspiration. Go home and tell the person you live with that you tolerate them."

      Klobuchar: “We need a smart trade policy, not trade policy by tweet.” There is a small amount of laughter. “Thank you to that one person.”

          Swalwell, arguably the least known 2020 candidate, taking some time on bio: “My dad was a cop. My mom made doll houses in our garage, and had a large, probably unlicensed, day care facility in our living room."
