Martin O’Malley on Democratic debate: Bring it on

But the success of the strategy has surprised many, including the candidate himself.The complaint – like so many to the gridlocked Federal Election Commission – has not resulted in any action so far, and the O’Malley campaign did not respond to questions about Ryan’s criticism.The campaign says it has now received a total of more than a million donations from an estimated 650,000 donors; meanwhile, Clinton’s momentum has appeared to slow. Expect all of that to be on display Tuesday in Vegas.

Whether these abrupt policy shifts will help her politically is questionable.

Sanders’ task is simpler.

In an interview with CNN on Sunday, O’Malley said he opposed creating a no-fly zone over Syria, a position the Democratic front-runner has supported.

Anger over stagnant wages and growing inequality is an issue that is coursing through our politics and both party primaries. But the GOP field had one thing Dems don’t: Donald Trump.

Out of the 21 presidential candidates, Sanders is one of five who doesn’t have an affiliated super PAC. The incidents of violence that have flared throughout the year have stimulated one of the most vibrant grass-roots political movements that we have seen in decades. The candidates not named Clinton and Sanders who will be on the stage have shown few signs of gaining any traction.

Bernie Sanders: Sanders has climbed steadily in the national polls from his July 15 percent to 24 percent today. If they take a cue from Republican candidate Carly Fiorina, whose debate performance helped her pull away from the pack, they might be able to appeal to wavering voters.

It was an honest answer but poses a tricky pass for a man whose candidacy is soaring, in part, because he seems like a guy who uncompromisingly speaks out for what he believes.

As he heads into the first Democratic debate, O’Malley faces the challenge of making a positive and meaningful first impression on the many voters who remain unfamiliar with him.

Sanders supporters argue they can catch up.

Martin O’Malley has barely cracked 1 percent in most 2016 election polls.

The first Democratic debate is coming six months later than the kickoff debate did eight years ago.

The absence of them this cycle has deprived the challengers to Clinton of a major vehicle to lift their profile, which may well have been the point. Facing off with Sanders on guns is one vehicle. “The warning that President Dwight David Eisenhower gave us about the influence of the Military-Industrial Complex in 1961 is truer today than it was then”. It’s an enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend policy, reminiscent of the disastrous Ronald Reagan-era gambit of giving massive support to mujahedeen forces fighting to oust Soviet forces from Afghanistan.

It wouldn’t be unusual for business leaders to play close to both parties. Millions of Americans will want Sanders to be clear about exactly how he differs with Clinton in the present day on military spending, foreign policy and war. There’s perhaps no restaurant more frequented by candidates than Red Arrow, which is why it’s being torn apart down to the floorboards. “We served in the Senate together”. CNN stated that they would allow him to participate in the first Democratic primary debate, and Biden fans are hoping he will throw his hat in the ring last second and compete.

“I think it is premature to say that those kinds of allegations and quote-unquote “scandals” are behind her. It’s unclear”, said Lawless.

The former Maryland governor says voters so far have been subjected to lots of rhetoric.

Biden waiting in the wings?

But there are others who are confident that Hillary will rise to the occasion.

Indeed, with the absence of vice president Joe Biden who has to still decide if he’ll run, the Democratic race at this point is essentially a Clinton versus Sanders match-up.

Who will moderate the debate?

Such a move, however, could be disastrous for her because if Sanders prevailed in New Hampshire it would be an astounding, even game-changing, victory that would deal her a very serious setback.

Even as a spectator, however, the VP’s presence will be felt.

It’s important to note, however, that many factors contribute to general well-being of the economy, so one shouldn’t treat Clinton’s implication – that Democratic presidencies are better for the economy – with irrational exuberance.
