Five things to watch in Tuesday’s Democratic debate

Still, Clinton remains the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, and she will be front and center in the first Democratic debate on Tuesday night.

Sanders has already telegraphed one of the areas he’ll attack Clinton: her October 2002 vote while in the U.S. Senate to authorize military force against Iraq. “She has to take Bernie Sanders seriously, but she’ll have to navigate it carefully”.

QuizQuiz: How well do you know the 2016 contenders? Ditto Lincoln Chafee, an ex-U.S. senator and former governor of Rhode Island, and Jim Webb, a former senator from Virginia. Recently Hillary Clinton changed her position to oppose the newest trade deal TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership). Now, she’s down by 9. Clinton later wrote in her 2014 book that she got that decision “wrong”. Now the nation gets to hear what Sanders has been selling. He’s to the right of most Democrats on the environment – and supports the Keystone pipeline.

As a result he has received direct campaign contributions of $26m in the last three months, almost matching Mrs Clinton’s direct funding of $28m over the same period. He is seeking the Democratic nomination, however, and is the most popular Democratic candidate after Hillary Clinton.

Manhattan: East Village dive the 12th Street Ale House (at Second Avenue) will be hosting an alternative debate watching party in which actors from the Theater Asylum will improvise a short play following the debate based on its content. If you’re not interested in seeing multiple Bernie Sanders or an avant-garde Hillary Clinton, the Ale House will still be serving up its usual cheap beer throughout the proceedings. Sanders is next at 25 percent, and Vice President Joe Biden, who’s not in the race, has 19 percent. According to CNN, she will be directly flanked by Sen.

Most United States observers think not, the reason being that Mr Sanders is seen as too left wing, too rebellious, and lacking the strong leadership qualities required to win the overall election, and therefore Democrats will take a reality pill and vote for Mrs Clinton.

So few debates have been a point of contention among several candidates who charge that the Democratic Party is trying to protect the frontrunner.

Vassiliadis, who worked on the 2008 Obama campaign, said it had staff on the ground in the spring of 2007 and nabbed the coveted endorsement of the Culinary Workers Union, which represents tens of thousands of casino workers in the state. “Everything in that I am proposing, I have a way to pay for it”, she stated while campaigning last week in Iowa, little question mindful in that Sanders’ platform, which features a call for universal healthcare analysis & free college tuition, carries a hefty price ticket. “She has to be that capital “D” on the stage”.

For months, Hillary Clinton stood in the position of looking down on the rest of the Democratic field. Income inequality is a very popular…

In a “60 Minutes” interview with Steve Kroft, President Barack Obama said Clinton made a mistake. He will nearly certainly go after Clinton as overly political and cautious to draw a contrast with what he will deem his principled liberal leadership during his eight years as the governor of Maryland.

The backdrop of the debate is Biden.
