Democrats go to first presidential debate

The also former Senator for New York, the Independent Senator for Vermont, Bernie Sanders, the ex-Governor of Maryland, Martin O'Malley, former Senator of Virginia, Jim Webb and former Governor of Rhode Island Lincoln Chafee, will see their faces in the debate directed by network CNN in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Moderated by Anderson Cooper, the results of the debate will also serve Vice president Joseph Biden to decide if he enters or not the campaign, something difficult if the criteria he would lose to Clinton is confirmed.

An opinion poll of CBS News network showed that for the nomination of the blue party, the also ex-First Lady marches in the lead with 46 percent support, followed by Sanders, with 27, Biden with 16, Webb, two percent and O'Malley and Chafee on the bottom with zero support.

Although it does not arouse the attention of the first debate that held Republicans in Cleveland, Ohio, the encounter should allow Clinton to increase her numbers in the surveys, at the same time give Biden a reference if he enters the race boosted by the problems that chase Hillary.

A foreseeable rise of Clinton will show that the elites of the parties frequently go out front with the candidate they support and, in essence, the former Senator for New York has most of the endorsements of the power groups, who will determine the reliability of their investment.

Despite being hit by the scandal of the e-mails during most of the summer and beginning of autumn, and be the preferred target of Republicans and the media, Hillary keeps her lead in the surveys even when she had lost almost one third of her support since July.

According to an analysis published in website RealClearPolitics, “if we see positive headlines on Clinton Wednesday morning, we will know there is a possibility she will be relieved by the negative press and, possibly, an increase in her numbers in the polls”.

Among the topics that will emerge in the exchange the TPP, Trans-Pacific Trade Pact, even Clinton that when it started, she helped to fix its bases when she was Secretary of State.

Until recently, little was reflected in the news media on this first debate,
but many agree that Clinton will be target of criticism by Sanders and the rest of the candidates involved.
