ABC News: What to Expect From Bernie Sanders at Tuesday's Democratic Debate

ABC News: What to Expect From Bernie Sanders at Tuesday's Democratic Debate

"I think he's going to do very well," said Greg Guma, a Vermont-based journalist. “He is a strong debater. He will be speaking from the heart, from the basis of principles…he has fundamental positions that he does not equivocate on."

Guma said that another one of Sanders’ strengths is the ability to put opponents on the defensive by putting the issues in stark terms. “He has talked this year about how we are heading towards an oligarchy, and so, in a sense, he has said it is a choice between me and building a political movement to save the country or we’re heading toward oligarchy,” Guma explained. “Even the Democrat is in a sense put on the other side.”

Guma thinks that is the key difference. “He is not, not going to ever say anything bad about a person,” Guma added, noting that Sanders makes a distinction between personal attacks and policy distinctions. “His campaign will be, ‘Hillary Clinton is a nice person, I like her, but where is she?’”

The way to guarantee the WH is if both HIllary and Bernie unite against the liars.

The email non story, that lie.

Benghazi, that lie.

Bernie is supported by NRA, that lie.

etc...

I'm assuming if the email server stuff comes up it's either going to be from the moderator, or O'Malley. My guess is it's from the moderator and O'Malley might comment on it in a way that's not directly an attack.
