Any predictions of what we should expect in the upcoming debate next week?

I am hoping that my candidate, Warren, will rise above the pettiness and emerge as the leader that she is and our party's hope to win the White House back for us!

I am also hoping that we have gotten the nastiness against Bernie out of our systems and will keep the debate on a relatively high level.

There is, to me as a Warren supporter, some real concerns about Bernie's past positions. I would like to hear him make a restatement of his beliefs today and going forward. I voted for him in our CT primary in 2016 because I wanted to move my party to the left. While I don't regret my vote them and I can not support him in my primary this year, I want to see how he presents himself and his views today.

Frankly, his past views and actions are a worry to me if he becomes our candidate. Not because I think the less of him, but because of what the gd pukes are gonna do. We have all got to be prepared. I want to believe that he is horrified by the whole Bernie Bro phenomenon and is stamping such vileness out of his campaign.

I hope that Warren is our standard bearer. I will continue to hope and to promote her to be our standard bearer and do whatever I can for her. I won't lie: I will be deeply sorrowful that yet, again, we are not getting a woman as president. I have 2 daughters and 3 granddaughters and this is personal to me. i've gotta try to be hopeful for them.

She is experienced in federal issues, and is a skilled debater. She will dissect Trump in debates.

Now after 3.5 years everyone knows the @realdonaldtrump! IMHO he is much more vulnerable in 2020.

But I would like someone to ask Bernie how he's going bring about this utopian world he's promising and how long it will take him if McConnell keeps the Senate.
