I think NBC/MSNBC will be biased for Warren, Biden and Bloomberg. Biden will not get tough questions asked but he might fall off the radar of importance with so many other candidates on the stage and everyone paying attention to Bloomberg for the first time. The moderators will ask Sanders loaded questions and not be in his favor. Klobuchar will get some questions thrown her way, and she will try to include twice as much detail in half the time.

Questions will be asked to Mayor Pete why his black support is low, so he will have to defend it again. Each debate, it's pointed out by a moderator and he must answer why it's low, so I'd expect it again. Hopefully he won't starting talking about the Douglass Plan.

I could care less if he would make a good President, he could even end up being a bad President, but how could anyone, anyone, anyone be any worse than Trump!!!

Come now! There's no unity amongst any class of people! Gay people are not all united, Jews are not all united, Hispanics are not all united, Caucasians are not all united, Asians are not all united, and no difference with Black people. As if! There wasn't a single Black or Hispanic person that didn't praise Bloomberg's Stop and Frisk policies!

we sit there and say its a woman's right to choose what she does with her body..we say we should not prohibit drugs... but the liberals are sure quick to say we should prohibit sugar, big gulps, mcdonalds and Walmart..... that is hypocrisy at its worst
I absolutely see the hypocrisy. Why does government have a right to say what women do with their own bodies.

why does the government have ANY right to say what we eat, drink, smoke, marry etc

and it gets worse if the government gets into healthcare...once they have control of your healthcare, they have full control of you

Because some don't take care of themselves and are obese. And then their healthcare costs are spread out for all of us to pay for.

I disagree with the notion that Americans don't understand how food affects their health. Assuming that individual people are stupid is the root and problem of liberalism; because we are stupid, we need government making choices for us, in areas like retirement, health care, education, and lifestyle choices.

Individuals are fully capable of informing themselves and making choices based on this information. You see people make informed choices in a variety of areas, from car purchases to personal care items. In the area of obesity, some are freely choosing to overeat. In America, you're free to succeed or free to fail. You overeat, as an individual you must accept the consequences. Same goes for smoking, whether or not to breastfeed, etc., all areas in which liberal governments have fancied themselves as the one with the authority to mandate personal behavior. This is anti-American, evil, and despotic.

I felt sorry for him until he ordered items from the raw bar in addition to 2 appetizers, an entree and a dessert along with multiple sodas. Do people not care about their health or looks anymore?

Well, that's all his problem, not yours or mine. I am 6' and 165 lbs. I go to the gym 4-5 days a week. I eat right, but enjoy from time to time a 32 oz regular coke. Why do I need to be penalized because others cannot control their food? Government just needs to butt the F out. Build roads, and leave us alone.

Am looking forward to the debate. There is bound to be some friction. Want to see how each candidate handles themselves when faced with confrontation. But this is ultimately about defeating Trump. That is what is at stake here.
