Democratic presidential candidates finally meet Tuesday, tonight, on the same stage for their first primary debate.
Some predictions:
- Hillary Clinton is going to crush it. The Republican PAC America Rising has a new ad out with clips from Clinton debating back in 2008. It’s meant to make fun of her but anyone watching it actually sees a Hillary with some fire. It will be refreshing to see that again after an already long campaign for her that’s been swallowed up by the email controversy.
- People will finally hear Bernie Sanders‘ farfetched ideas and his numbers will fall. Until now, the buzz has been about Sanders’ “massive crowds” and how he’s a “real threat” to Clinton. Voters will get to see what he’s really about and it’s not what most people want.
- Martin O’Malley needs a standout moment. He’ll get it by going after Sanders.
- Nobody cares about Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee
