Tonight's Democratic Debate

Democratic Debate MSNBC

Tonight we will have a debate between the remaining (and new) Democratic candidates. The recent polling out of Iowa is telling us that Pete Buttigieg is ahead of all other candidates. Buttigieg has been running a lot of ads in Iowa and spending a lot of time in the state. Many people are associating this with President Obama's election, who also won in Iowa and jump started his campaign. However, critics are saying he does not have support from key demographics of the Democratic party. Biden is still hanging onto the top of the polls with Warren and Sanders tied in some polls. 

The debate stage will be interesting tonight. We still need to hear from a lot of candidates such as Andrew Yang, Kory Booker, and Amy Klobuchar. I think MSNBC did a good job of showing all of the candidates last time, so hopefully they will continue to do so. The recent polling out of Iowa will put a lot of spot light on Buttigieg and many candidates will challenge him. Biden is also supposed to be challenged as well because he is still leading national polls. This is the first time we will see Tom Styer, the billionaire business man, politician, and activist. Many are not taking his run seriously due to the fact that he donated pretty much all of his campaign budget himself.

    I saw A LOT on Twitter about the candidates that were NOT involved in this debate. Very interesting strategy to try and participate as the outsider on a different platform. Somewhat effective I think.

Early Polling in Iowa

Iowa is considered one of the most important states to win if you want to get your parties nomination. Historically speaking about half of the presidential candidates who have won Iowa, win their parties nomination. If you win, you'll get more press which in turn gives you a boost. Now, what it also does is show who's who and who's not going anywhere. Anyways, while the primary isn't until February 1 there has been some polling done around candidates. This is subject to change of course and isn't the most accurate opinion of public opinion. But it is a good indicator of what some voters are thinking at the moment. There are two things that surprise me about this poll. One is that Pete Buttigieg is in the third-place position. This does not align with national polls, but Iowa isn't a good representative in terms of demographics. Two is that Biden is in fourth place, but is supposed to be the front runner of the race. Again, polls are not indicators of ho...

Biden | Does He Have The Money To Continue

One of the largest issues for presidential candidates today is fund raising. Just because you've raised a lot of funds doesn't mean you will do well, but what happens when you don't have enough? My opinion, the amount candidates fundraise should be capped and businesses should not be allowed to contribute in any way. Now, I understand you do need money to advertise to people and let people know who you are but do they really need hundreds of millions of dollars, no. Imagine a presidential race fully funded by people where everyone is on the same level (in terms of money). I think we would have candidates who are more interested in their supporters issues and follow through when and if they get into office. I'll get off my soap box now. Recently Joe Biden, who is being identified as the front runner, has been having some fund raising issues.  Now, why is the supposed front runner having so many issues filling the coffers? His staff says it is because they got ...
