Francis Wilkinson: "Bernie Sa=ders is passionate. He has lofty ideals. He has a vision of a better, more=communitarian America where plutocrats are constrained and average people =re elevated. And if Democrats want to make progress on achieving Sanders's=goals, they will nominate Hillary Clinton for president. That was the mess=ge of the Democratic debate in Las Vegas Tuesday." Read more...

Jonathan Bernstein: "Experien=e helps. Debates are harder than they may appear, and Clinton has done thi= before. None of this makes a lot of difference to the outcome of the nomi=ation contest." Read mo=e...

Ramesh Ponnuru: "The other ca=didates failed to take multiple opportunities to disparage her ethics, her=flip-flops and her electability. None of them said that Clinton has done a=lot to justify the public’s perception of her as untrustworthy, or=that this perception could doom Democrats’ chances of keeping the =hite House if she is the nominee."

Margaret Carlson: "It was the=Hillary and Bernie show from start to finish." Read more...<=p>

Ukraine Crisis

The Editors: "To the families=of the 298 passengers who died over Ukraine on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17=more than a year ago, a long-awaited Dutch investigation into the cause of=the crash must be satisfying and frustrating in equal measure. The report =onfirms that the plane was shot down by a Russian-built surface-to-air mis=ile, as long suspected, but not by whom or from exactly where. Still, the =eport is far more comforting and reliable than the report the Russians rel=ased on the same day." Read more...

Leonid Bershidsky: The Dutch =nvestigation "stresses a point that Russia has repeatedly made in its defe=se: Ukraine, a country responsible for safeguarding its airspace, failed i= its duty by allowing passenger jets to fly over the conflict area. While =here can be no moral equivalency between arming or protecting the perpetra=ors of that crime, and failing to close the skies, the uncomfortable truth=laid bare by the report is that both sides in the conflict were glaringly =ncompetent." Read more...

China

The Editors: "After months of=debate and accusations of fecklessness, the U.S. appears ready to challeng= China's island-building in the South China Sea. The question is how." Read more...

Law

Noah Feldman: "Giving juvenil=s mandatory life sentences without the opportunity for parole is an unjust=punishment, and the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled it unconstitutional. But =hat's not enough to get young offenders already sentenced to mandatory lif= resentenced or released. ... Things don't look good for the people incarc=rated under a principle that the court now says is cruel and unusual." Read more...

Energy

Leonid Bershidsky: "The U.S. =hale oil industry is in retreat, but it will largely survive next year, an= its production decline will not be catastrophic enough for oil prices to =hoot up. Scarier things probably await U.S. frackers in 2017."

Gambling

Barry Ritholtz: "In some ways= most [fantasy sports] players aren't all that different from amateur stoc=-market traders. Almost all of them get their clocks cleaned by the profes=ionals. Between the high-frequency outfits and better capitalized and more=knowledgeable traders, virtually all the rookies get walloped. But here's =hy people keep trying: A minuscule percentage manage to go on to have terr=fic, lucrative trading careers." Read more...

Culture

Megan McArdle: "Playboy's Ame=ican print magazine now loses millions of dollars a year, and is essential=y a loss-leader for the Playboy brand, which is licensed hither and thithe= across the globe. That brand is well established, right down to its bunny=logo. At this point nude photos may cost the magazine more audience than t=ey bring in. On the other hand, what is the brand without the centerfold?"=/span> Read more...
