Many of the issues that are going to be mentioned is mainly surrounding the impeachment inquiry into Donald J. Trump.
Some will test the strengths of Biden. His son Hunter Biden has been a focal point in the impeachment inquiry into Trump. The Republicans have been targeting Biden because of his son's investments in Ukraine and China. It's been a leading cause of kookspiracies among the far-white.
Warren's rise in the polls have brought out the Bernie Bros. again. The campaign to taint Warren and call her insufficiently progressive has begun. Trump and supporters of Sanders have sowed discourse into Warren. Also social media giant Facebook and the banking industry have been concerned about Warren's proposals.
Sanders who just got back on the campaign trial after he confirmed he had a heart attack will be questioned about his fitness and strength. He will also challenge candidates to get behind the Medicare for All pledge. He also will call out Trump, Biden, Warren, Harris and Gabbard for past votes and criminal justice reform.
Booker, Klobuchar, Castro, Harris, Buttigeig, O'Rourke and Steyer will hopefully demand more speaking time. After Booker and Castro begged for more help in their struggling campaigns, the time is now to get back in the groove of things.
Klobuchar and Gabbard will be questioned on their stance with Israel. They have supported the anti-BDS legislation that prevents Americans from participating in the boycott or sanctioning of Israel.
O'Rourke will have time to address gun violence and his demands to hold the NRA and religious zealots like Pat Robertson accountable for pushing hate in the mainstream.
Gabbard will call out Democrats for not giving her a "fair shake." Many on the left believe that she could be another Jill Stein if she decides to run as an independent to taint the eventual nominee.
Issues that matter include:
Climate change. Issues that were brought up by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Greta Thunberg. The Green New Deal.
Holding Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo and William Barr accountable in regards to the Robert Mueller probe, Rudy Giuliani, the Ukraine scandal and impeachment.
Facebook, Twitter and Google's impact on the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election.
Ohio, Iowa, Florida and New Hampshire will be mentioned in some form.
The mass shootings in El Paso, Midland-Odessa, Dayton and Chicago will come up. The NRA will be a frequent mention in the debate.
Syria and the pullout of troops. The Democrats will attack Trump for his decision to remove ground forces from the Kurdish back areas of Syria. Turkey is now engaging in a war with Syria. The Islamic State and al Qaeda are hoping to return to power.
Israel's controversial prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to cease more land in the West Bank. Some talk will come up about Israel.
Each will question one another past support for a legislation that doesn't favor progressives.
Who won tonight's CNN Democratic Presidential Debate? (Expect far-right trolls to pick to respond with the dumbest answers)
Hopefully the candidates will talk about Dayton, Ohio being one of the cities, Trump promised to make great again. It turns out Dayton has gotten worse under Trump.
Who knows what will be said in tonight's debate. But rest assured, CNN will cover it and the rest of the junk food media (and yes, far-white Fox News) will take the highs and lows of the debate.
CNN also will take a jab at Fox News. After white extremist James O'Keefe of Project Veritias released another edition of smear CNN, the network has dismissed the claims.
CNN president Jeff Zucker called Fox News, Trump's media arm and a leading network of conspiracy nuts and divisive bigots.
Tonight is debate night. Watch it on CNN or find an outlet that will allow free watching.
