Everything I read says they will not. They will handle it VERY carefully. They are starting with basically "zip" and if they start picking at and exposing one another, well, to the GOP voters might go or to an independent. I don't know though, you know how "on the edge" Hillary is and I can't imagine she won't take a few personal jabs at the others especially since the Dems have done her wrong and are getting ready to do it again. It will be interesting to see how see "behaves" also with Sanders and, frankly, I don't know of any other of the Dem candidates. I like to watch body language as that says SO much and it is one thing that is hard to keep under wraps. Should be interesting.

Ummmm not really. The questions to Trump were about people not even running and they got that way wrong as usual.

What are you talking about "Gloria Vanderbilt's son" rides a bicycle all over New York and does not live a lavish life style. Anderson Cooper an elite? Hardly!

What I think you are trying to do is paint those people as hypocrites -- people who are wealthy but have liberal views about forming policies that help the underclasses -- as if, one only has a right to support liberal causes if they help you personally.

I disagree, I believe that wealthy people who support raising taxes on people like themselves and support a strong safety net, are an example of civic virtue. I find it noble to support policies that are in the good of the nation, even if they are contrary to one's own personal financial interests.

Which ones were those??

Btw, comments a candidate make are certainly fair game to be asked about during a debate.

That's only because Hillary was the clear front runner early on. Many of her "opponents" are hoping for some sort of position in her cabinet or other perk...or at least not feeling her wrath if she wins.

You don't remember 2008? It started out that way and then Obama burst onto the scene....then it go nasty. When you have people accusing Bill Clinton of racism the gloves have come off.....

Close races with no front-runner get chippy. No need to go on the attack if you have a big lead. Hillary and Sanders have been "heating up" and I expect it to start boiling sooner than later.

The Drinking Game tonight should be for every mention of a GOP candidate.

When the Leftist's go Ballistic over Trumps Twitter LiveTweet ...... remember that Bernie Sanders did the same thing with the CNN GOP Debate and they all thought that was a great idea.

Goose/Gander
Trump is far from the first candidate to take to Twitter during a debate. Sanders livetweeted the marathon September Republican debate, slamming the GOP candidates for not touching on issues like poverty or race.

Of course the September CNN GOP debate was designed by CNN to be a 3 Hour slug fest and to barely touch on the Debate Theme, which was supposed to be "Foreign Policy". Bernie clearly thinks that "poverty & race" are all about "Foreign Policy". That should surprise nobody.

They will ask Hillary about her family and maybe some dinner recipes. Bernie about Christmas, since he thinks he's Santa Claus. The others probably won't get asked a question.

What will be interesting is how they handle themselves in the Fox-moderated Democratic debate. Should be interesting to see Megyn Kelly or some other real journalist ask some hard-ball questions.

Yet after 50 years of saying this, neither exists. The 1% pays almost no tax and the only safety nets turn productive people in to dependents because their jobs are gone. And they get away with it because there are people who still believe they care about the common person. The results speak for themselves.
