Seven candidates will be onstage for tonight's South Carolina Democratic debate: 🗣Joe Biden 🗣Michael Bloomberg 🗣Pete Buttigieg 🗣Amy Klobuchar 🗣Bernie Sanders 🗣Tom Steyer 🗣Elizabeth Warren Here's what to watch for 👇

correspondent Bill Whitaker.Former Vice President Joe Biden; former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg; former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg; Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar; Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders; wealthy venture capitalist Tom Steyer; and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.1. Now that Sanders is the front-runner, do the other candidates focus on him?

So if his opponents want to stop the Sanders express, they probably have to put some dents in him Tuesday night. Sanders has faced more scrutiny than in 2016, but the dump truck is about to be backed up, if not by the Democrats now, then by Trump and the Republicans in the general election. The question is, which of his Democratic rivals have the best ability to do it?2. Can Bloomberg recover?

Bloomberg's performance won't be tested on the ballot in South Carolina, because he's not on it, but if he hopes to win over black voters and carry them on Super Tuesday, this is an important audience.Former Vice President Joe Biden attends services Sunday at the Royal Missionary Baptist Church in North Charleston, S.C.Former Vice President Joe Biden attends services Sunday at the Royal Missionary Baptist Church in North Charleston, S.C.

Can we please stop with the hand raising. It’s so annoying. Also please enforce the rules of the debate. Don’t just let people talk whenever they want.

We need to hear a ? about SCOTUS ruling today. The cross border shooting of a Mexican national and how family is not afforded the right to sue? About court stacking? Thoughts of the candidates demdebate

clowns

Alphabetical order, very interesting.

BBernie shopping at Target? No way. He's a millionaire w three houses Venezuela

I appreciate that the candidates are listed in alphabetical order. Often we see lists ordered by implicit bias for or against certain candidates. 🙏

let’s goooooo bernieeeeeee👏👏

We are monitoring the democraticdebate social media analytics. Currently, BernieSanders is leading over half the online conversation with 54.7% share of voice. Only candidates ewarren and TulsiGabbard reflect positive sentiments of 59.1% and 55.4%, respectively. demdebate

All white. In the south. Got it.

I hope one of two things for him. First, I hope he does well for the sole reason I hate to see the effects of aging humiliate someone publicly- especially for someone whose mind is probably brighter than most of us. Second, if he does not do well I wish him grace in bowing out.

New drinking game when you hear “Let me make this clear” CHUG

He needs to remember what office he's running for!!

And why, pray tell, are you no longer giving much coverage to the female candidates? Warren ranked second in national polling just a couple of days ago. You’ve completely erased Warren.

Joe Biden hasn't ever turned in a debate performance better than 'avoided horribly embarrassing himself' so I don't have high hopes

It's one primary. Give it a break.

The American People want to hear how the candidates plan to handle the humanitarian crisis in Syria. Syria's crisis has global implications, if left unchecked it will have far-reaching global consequences. How do the candidates plan to handle the Syrian crisis? Syria SaveSyria

Bad timing for Joe... Trump's mission was accomplished. Give your supporters to Warren.

Biden needs to drop out and enjoy retirement. He isn't up for this, and the folks propping him up should be ashamed of themselves.

The only realistic way forward is for Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar to drop out and clear the way for Joe Biden. Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar can't win the nomination and they can't win the general election either. Not with 1% of the black Democrat vote.

we already have one sundowning president grandpa, apologies to Joe but we don’t need 2 of them back to back

Good luck with that

Great job Democrats, a field full of geriatric, white, rich, men.

Joe thinks he's running for Senate in South Carolina.

He seems ready to rock!!!

stick a fork .....

Biden is cooked, he should drop out! Bernie has it locked.

These debates are like watching WWE.

How is Tom Steyer still there? Not only have I never heard anyone say 'I'm thinking about voting for Tom Steyer,' I don't think I've heard anyone mention him, period.

🥱

None worth a damn.

Jake Tapper read Sanders essays that he wrote at 30- mother jones has them Joe was the youngest elected senator at 29-

Should be down to 4 this month

SANDERS PRESIDENT , PETE VP, WARREN ATTORNEY GENERAL, BIDEN SEC OF STATE, KOLBLACHER, SEC OF EDUCATION

PURE comedy show on tonight... let the clown show begin. Biden will shoot himself in the foot again and Bloomberg will get stomped on while leftists praise Sanders for his leadership to communism and Fauxchahontis tries to ride his coattails... She's already conceded to him.

Another debate.

It’s so frustrating that we have to put up with Steyer, Bloomberg, and Klobuchar, but lost Yang and Booker.

STOP DUMPING ON EACH OTHER, say what you stand for, DUMP ON TRUMP! Good lord

Enough! Sanders, Warren, Biden or Bloomberg, Pete. The rest please stay home. Enough of this. Too many it needs only to be four. Stop wasting the cash. The time!

And not one of them worth the time to watch. No real plan with details. all accuse each other of something bad as they doing the very same thing. All claim they can beat trump bit cant keep from shooting them selves in the foot. Cant beat trump if you keep shooting your selves

You guys don't know anything, no one should be listening to you.

THE DNC IS A MESS

Another Warren win. That's what we'll see.

We are begging these candidates: aim your attacks at trump, not at each other. Find a way to elevate YOUR position without tearing down OTHERS. BernieSanders PeteButtigieg ewarren JoeBiden amyklobuchar Mike2020 TomSteyer Please find a way to be united. DemDebates

Ahk. Not another Democrat debate. Please stop.

Ready to watch progressives segregate their answers based on racial lines... cause it’s racial pandering time! Sooooo progressive! 🤦‍♂️

Washington is Preparing for it's First Women President🗽 ✔️ New Museum for Women ✔️PASSage ERA🇺🇸 ✔️PresidentWarren2020🗽 🇺🇸🇺🇸God Bless America 🇺🇸

Klobs gonna spend the night again thinking Pete's the enemy? Will Uncle Joe even know where he is? Will Steyer or Moneybags even bother to smile? Will Berns shake his finger all night? Poor Liz is in a dog fight she hadn't planned on. 🤔🤔

Sleepy, Dopey, Sneezy...

Rearrange this tweet to reflect who the voters actually care about (aka are voting for / most popular in the polls)

Moderators: please facilitate a real debate about issues and give the candidates time to each discuss their plans. People are trying to make informed choices.

Are the moderators going to give Steyer equal time?

Amy and Pete need to drop out and support Joe Biden, we need a moderate to beat Trump

The Democratic candidates...you want to beat Trump...just be less crazy. It's really not that difficult but you can't even accomplish that right.

Let's hope this one is about the next four years and not about 👎Audience participation 👎Gotcha moments

My prediction is that Bloomberg and Biden and Buttigieg will go after Bernie and Warren will defend Bernie. Klobucher will go after Biden and Buttigieg and Steyer I’ll probably go after Biden

I’m hoping the debate tonight will speak to how the candidates will address the divisiveness in this country and how he/she will repair relationships with alies. And how about focusing on the real issue? (The d.) We’ve heard about proposed policies for months now.

👴🏻Joe Biden 💰 Michael Bloomberg 🐀 Pete Buttigieg 🐉 Amy Klobuchar 🥇 Bernie Sanders 💵 Tom Steyer 🐍 Elizabeth Warren

this is ridiculous...

A 1.5% tax on tips and wages and a $145/month premium fund Medicare. You can't bring on everyone age 65 without A. Higher taxes B. Higher premiums C. Diminished service D. A & B E. All of the above If Bernie the Dinosaur gets elected, my money's on E. neversanders

5 should endorse Biden NOW and help save the country

I suppose you put Liz last because you were saving the best 🤦🏻‍♀️

I guess TulsiGabbard needed billions to buy her way into this debate.

After SC, Amy should drop because she's a VP lock

All white and one Native American.

Free stuff, govt takeover, “assault weapons” and the sun monster

Commercials?

I'm so ready for the Roast of Bloomberg: Part II

6 1/2 candidates if you're counting Mini Mike.

I hope Bloomberg gets murdered on the stage again. The guy does not belong there. It's an insult to have him on the stage.

Does Joe realize this is not a Senate debate?
