CUPP: "The New York Times" conducted interviews with all of the Democratic candidates except Joe Biden. He passed for some not very smart reason. And one of the more revealing questions they asked was what is your favorite comfort food? Mine is mozzarella sticks. I'm sure you have a good one too. It's a pretty straightforward question, at least, you'd think but alas not for some. There was Cory Booker, a noted vegan, who immediately made me sad by saying his favorite comfort food is veggies. Tulsi Gabbard similarly said vegan cupcakes, so she can be President. Andrew Yang said Kind bars. OK, health food by definition offers zero comfort. In fact, I want to come for Kind bars for being so hard to eat. A few seemed confused as to what the food part of comfort food means. John Hickenlooper said M&M's and mints. That's not food. If you can keep it in your glove compartment, it's not food. Three of the candidates actually named beverages. Eric Swalwell said comfort coffee. That's not a thing, sir. Marianne Williamson said, quote, I have no comfort food. There's a lifetime movie there. And odd one from Amy Klobuchar who said baked potato. Somehow it's hard for me to imagine the Senator sitting on the couch in sweatpants watching Broad City reruns and cutting into a bacon potato, but that could be her thing. Tim Ryan said he likes ice cream, which is like saying you like music, which flavor, sir? The difference between Congressman Tim Ryan and President Tim Ryan is one incorrect answer like mint chocolate chip. OK, so the better answers Seth Moulton and Steve Bullock, both said burgers. There's grease in those, that works. Elizabeth Warren likes chips in guac, who doesn't. And the winners, well, it was a tie, Kamala Harris confessed she likes French fries. Get it girl. And John Delaney likes two grilled chicken sandwiches from McDonald's because he knows the key to any good comfort food is volume. OK, that's it for me. Ana Cabrera will have the latest headlines next on CNN NEWSROOM.
