Democrat Debate October 13 Preview: What NOT to Expect

The Democratic debate for the presidential elections 2016 is set to take place on Oct. 13 on CNN, and while there are a lot of things that viewers already expect, there are also some things that they should not expect to happen during the event.

The Democratic debate on Oct. 13 will take place in Las Vegas and will be hosted by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. There have been speculations regarding the attendance of U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, but he will most likely not join the debate even if he decides to jump in the presidential race, according to US News.

First of all, viewers of the Democratic debate on Oct. 13 should not expect former president Bill Clinton to watch the event live. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton echoed this idea when he spoke to CNN's Wolf Blitzer in September and said she is not running for her husband's third term, but she is running for her first term as the U.S. president, the report relays.

The second thing not expected to happen during the Democrat presidential debate on Oct. 13 is Clinton taking shots at rival Bernie Sanders, despite the latter's advantage over her in recent polls. She recently revealed to a loyal supporter that she will not target Sanders in the upcoming debate. This may be because she knows attacking Sanders apart would risk her losing his supporters later on, the report explains.

Third, viewers should not expect to hear arguments on relevant issues such as poverty and disability payments. There may be some discussions about community college programs, but there will probably be no proposals on student debts, Obamacare reforms, anti-ISIS campaigns, energy strategy, and oil export. But the Democrats will definitely discuss income inequality, raising of minimum wage, higher taxes for the country's affluent class, gun control, and Planned Parenthood.

The fourth thing that Democratic presidential candidates are not expected to say about are humorous quips because Clinton, Sanders, Lincoln Chafee, Martin O'Malley, and Jim Webb are not very entertaining speakers, the Inquisitr reports.

Lastly, viewers of the Democratic presidential debate on Oct. 13 are not expected to reach the same number that the Republicans got during their first two debates. The GOP garnered 24 million and 23 million during the two events.
