 Well, believe it or not the November Democratic Party primary debate is already here and this time it will feature 10 candidates as opposed to 12 Thank God and being excluded this time are Julian Castro and Beto O'Rourke Who of course has dropped out now this debate will feature Joe Biden Cory Booker Pete Buttigieg Chelsea Gabbard Kamala Harris Amy Klobuchar Bernie Sanders Tom Steyer Elizabeth Warren and Andrew Yang so I want to kind of give you my thoughts about this debate and What to look for and really what I would like to see now first because all I care about is Seeing Bernie Sanders emerge victorious from this debate I'm gonna talk about him first because I want him to absolutely Dominate this debate and the way that he does that is by taking off the gloves now He's gotten increasingly more aggressive throughout the course of the primary But I need him to ramp everything. He set up. That's negative By about a hundred and fifty like he's got to take the gloves off And what I want Bernie Sanders to focus on is Pete Buttigieg Pete Buttigieg is someone who I think is going to have to endure a lot of attacks at this debate And as a result his polling could go down because he is kind of viewed as a Frontrunner not necessarily the frontrunner, but one of four frontrunners. So he is going to have to Brace himself, but Bernie Sanders has got to be then the main aggressor here He's got to make sure that he hits that message home that Pete Buttigieg is a fraud Call out the corruption call out his pivot away from Medicare for all once he took Contributions from the health insurance industry call him out for the fraud that he is Joe Biden I think that Bernie Sanders has got to get, you know, a few good shots in at Joe Biden But you don't necessarily have to focus all of your attention on Joe Biden because I think it's safe to say that He lost his lead in the early primary states and even though nationally he's still at number one You know if he can't win those early primary states I think it's safe to say that he's not going to do very well now He's still pulling very well in South Carolina So you can't just like take the focus away from Joe Biden that being said I think that Bernie Sanders if I'm him I would make Pete Buttigieg my main focus So Bernie Sanders can win simply by being aggressive I think that what we've seen throughout the course of this primary is that Candidates who have been aggressive at these debates have been rewarded right when Kamala Harris went after Joe Biden She saw a big boost in the polls before she face planted and was taken out by Tulsi Gabbard Pete Buttigieg was incredibly aggressive towards Elizabeth Warren at that last debate and the media rewarded him for it now Let's be honest here. The media is not going to reward Bernie Sanders for being aggressive They're not going to reward candidates for being aggressive if that aggression is Directed at the candidates that you know, they like so for example when Julian Castro went after Joe Biden Maybe he went a little bit too far in questioning whether or not Biden's mental faculties were there when people who are reasonable are asking that So I'm not under this delusion that Bernie Sanders will be rewarded by the media I think that if he were to get pretty aggressive, you know, they would come after him, but Voters are going to see that as strength Voters are going to hopefully take away what Bernie Sanders says, which is the truth about Pete Buttigieg that he's a fraud And that would hopefully give him a boost Pete Buttigieg Cannot win this nomination if he does Trump gets a second term So everyone who's in this debate needs to focus on Pete Buttigieg anyone who isn't they're not serious now I don't necessarily know that this surge is going to have longevity. Maybe he face plans a month later We don't know right? There's been kind of one candidate in the spotlight throughout the course of this primary each month ish And they face planted right the main three candidates have been Bernie Sanders Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden So maybe you know Pete Buttigieg's front-runner status will be short-lived Although regardless he's surging now. You've got to attack him if I'm Elizabeth Warren This is kind of a difficult predicament because she kind of lost her front-runner status after that last debate when she Kind of entered that debate as the front-runner and as a result Everyone kind of directed their anger towards her and tried to bring her down We saw Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg kind of direct their aim at her And you know as a result the media took that as her not really being ready to Defend her front-runner status and she kind of lost it So on top of that she's pissing off progressives left and right her response to the Bolivian coup Her backtrack on Medicare for all like she's proving that she's not a good candidate. So if I'm Elizabeth Warren I just survived this debate, right? Um, she doesn't have to do too much because she's in a relatively solid spot I would just join Bernie Sanders in the event Bernie Sanders attacks Pete Buttigieg And just back him up be his wingman in this debate And I think that there's not much room for Elizabeth Warren to grow by attacking anyone because she's already You know in a pretty solid position at the top in early primary states So attacking people like Pete Buttigieg, I think that that would be wise for Elizabeth Warren to do Although I will say that she doesn't necessarily have to be as aggressive as Bernie Sanders because he needs to do more to You know move up in polling now when it comes to Joe Biden Joe Biden He has to have a good performance. I don't think he will have a good performance He's hanging on for dear life. He lost his lead in early primary states Basically, his only hope is That he'll win South Carolina and then get momentum after South Carolina to kind of propel him throughout the course of the rest of the primary Now South Carolina, it is a delegate rich status As far as I know, I believe so, you know, that's not necessarily a bad strategy But he cannot slip any further. Otherwise. I mean, there's no point in him even staying in to Iowa So he just has to survive and I don't necessarily believe that he's going to be the target since he's no longer really viewed as the front runner He may be polling at first nationally, but I mean what really matters is your status in early primary states He just has to survive and if he really Target someone like Pete Buttigieg, which I don't think he will since that is an ideological ally to him, you know That could help him if he's a little bit aggressive that could help him But I think that the most likely scenario is he's just going to fall asleep throughout the course of this debate and You know, we'll kind of forget that he's there unless the media Props him up and makes him, you know the center of attention, which I think that Pete Buttigieg will kind of be for this debate So moving on Tom Steyer is someone who really shouldn't participate again. I am against billionaires Being able to buy their way into these debates. So he should not be taken seriously I don't think he was last time but that should be the same case now and whenever he talks He should be made fun of people should really dismiss him and Yeah, he shouldn't be here So I don't want him to win and I don't really think he can win because he's a billionaire So when he preaches, you know being anti-establishment and when he speaks out against corruption You're a billionaire you have no street credit and what you're saying. It's not landing with the American people Now when it comes to Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard I'm gonna lump these two in together because these are people who have large online followings and Basically what they need to do is one of two things if not both one They need to each have at least one good moment And they need this to secure a spot in the next debate, right in hopes that maybe they can You know have a spark that catches fire and they get a little bit of a boost like Pete Buddha judge or Kamala Harris God But they need one moment and it can't just be a solid moment like they need to shine It needs to be a moment that we're all talking about on top of that We're at a state in the race where people are going to start bowing out probably relatively soon So they're pulling lower so they need to attach themselves to a bigger candidate, right? Someone who they may back in the event. They lose someone they may endorse in the event They drop out whether that's Elizabeth Warren or Joe Biden It seems like Andrew Yang is kind of gravitating towards Joe Biden. He should attach himself to Biden Tulsi Gabbard She's just all over the map ideologically speaking So I don't know who she'd attach herself to but attach themselves to a bigger Candidate running for purposes of this debate like I'm not saying endorse them at this debate What I'm saying is Strategically speaking if you kind of act as the wingman or wing woman to another candidate that can kind of Give you a little bit of a boost if you kind of ride their coattails in order to at least get you to that next debate stage That's that's really the goal, right? It's survival here when it comes to Andrew Yang I believe he's already qualified for the December debate So he's not going to have as you know, big of a task here But Tulsi Gabbard definitely needs to have at least one good moment And you know she has performed fairly well at the debates before excluding the last debate But you know, I don't necessarily think that this is out of the question She just needs to try to attack someone and hope that it lands when it comes to Cory Booker I think that he needs to probably do the same thing now I say that about the anti-establishment candidates, but really my advice for the other, you know One to five percenters like Cory Booker and Kamala Harris is largely the same They need to also start aligning with the bigger candidate whether that is Elizabeth Warren whether that is You know Bernie Sanders, which I doubt or Joe Biden They've got to make sure that they kind of align with someone else because Look their days are short-lived They're not doing great, right? So they need to make sure that they one have at least one good moment and two they start really Aligning with someone else at this debate to try to have a good moment, right? Everyone is trying to suck up as much air as they possibly can in the room at this debate And that's no different for them. So basically My advice for them is the same as the anti-establishment candidates like Tulsi Gabbard and Andrew Yang The one difference is that I will say They are probably going to have a more difficult time because there's not very much momentum for Kamala Harris or Cory Booker. I think there's more Momentum online and more enthusiasm for her than there is for Cory Booker I mean, there's just no they're there for him So she's gonna have an easier time than her than him But Cory Booker really just he's hanging on by a thread and when it comes to Amy Klobuchar last and least You know, I don't know what to really expect from her. The only way She's able to she's going to be able to win this debate is if the media and the hosts the moderators Do what they did last time and basically just ask her a hundred different questions and Proper up as if she's a legitimate contender that's what they did for her and Buddha judge and unfortunately for her Buddha judges the one who ended up getting the most out of that but She is not going to do well unless the moderators proper up She doesn't necessarily have to do very well. I can't imagine she has that much funds left Although she did get a boost in fundraising after that last debate. However, you know, I just I Can't really see her sticking around for much longer She's probably hoping that she's going to be the next centrist to surge after Biden But I mean Buddha judge kind of filled that spot But in the event he goes down and Biden remains at the top. She's kind of hoping to get the boost I don't like I don't know what to expect from her because she's incredibly boring and milk toast So I'm not expecting much from Amy Klobuchar with that being said, of course She needs to have a good performance But I don't necessarily think that that will happen unless it is because she is propped up by the moderators so that being said What I really really really want to see more so than anything is Bernie Sanders be Aggressive now I'll take anything I'll take what I can get and he needs a performance that is so Good that you really can't deny that he won that debate And I think that his debate performances up until this point have been absolutely stellar the problem is, you know He's not really doing much for himself. He's not moving the needle in terms of polling now Yes, he has four million individual donations He has more than a million people on the ground fighting for him But in that national spotlight, you've got to demonstrate to people that you are a leader Who is strong? Who's assertive who is capable of taking on Donald Trump? We all know that Bernie Sanders has it in him, but he needs to just get this You know idea out of his head that you can't be negative and that negativity is bad Know you're fighting for the American people. This is a fight for You know the planet so it's incumbent on you to prove why you're the real deal and why people like Pete Buttigieg are frauds why his ideological position is non-existent and he's influenced by the money He's taking like Bernie's got to take the gloves off That's all I can say I've been saying this after every single debate And if he doesn't start doing that then I don't think he's gonna improve in the polls So he has to call them out. I have no doubt in my mind that whenever he talks He's going to make excellent points But for the love of God Bernie take the fucking gloves off and hit them hard That's the only way you're going to really show to people that you're serious here because you are You're going to this debate with a lot of loyal supporters who aren't going to abandon you So we have to broaden though that core appeal and you do this by being assertive and Aggressive and by also really making the case about electability and driving it home Driving home the point that an establishment Democrat will lose to Donald Trump as Hillary Clinton did Bernie Sanders needs to explain how he's the only progressive on the stage who will excite the base He's got to do this like I mean he has to win this debate He he's not gonna be like out of it like I don't want to imply that that's the case But we need a good performance because we need a surge from Bernie Sanders He got a little bit of a surge But now we need to propel him into first place because we're coming down to the nitty gritty The Iowa caucus is in February So he's got a lot of ground to make up if he wants to win And you do that by having really solid performances at these debates And you've got to take the gloves off in order to win because playing nice isn't going to work in 2019 Donald Trump is president So you've got to be aggressive You've got to be assertive and you've got to call people out like people to judge for the frauds that they are So that's kind of what I am expecting. That's what I think we should look out for and yeah Either way, this is going to be pretty exciting for the first half and then that last hour is going to be incredibly draining And we're all gonna hope that it's over. So yeah, I don't have anything else to say We'll just watch and I'll follow this up with my debate analysis and debate breakdown Shortly after it airs
