Let’s face it. Donald Trump is a ratings machine and contributed greatly to the high ratings for the first two Republican debates.
Another important factor though — the Republicans — especially in the second debate — didn’t mind getting into the issues and calling each other out on topics when they disagreed with one another.
Doesn’t look like that will happen Tuesday night — as the moderator is already advertising he doesn’t expect many fireworks. Both Clinton and Sanders have also signaled they’ll put on the kids’ gloves and not knock each other around — sticking to policy proposals and avoiding direct personal attacks.
What a mistake not only for ratings … but for the other unknown Democratic candidates on the stage. This could be their one shot to make a mark — and take on Bernie Sanders for his socialist beliefs — well outside the confines of democratic principles — and Hillary Clinton — on her email scandal.
So it’s being billed the “serious” debate. Lets just hope its not also a snoozefest.
