Live Coverage Of The First Democratic Debate

Since you brought that insider/outsider poll up, Harry, it’s also worth noting one other interesting thing about it. It found that in March, just 36 percent of Republicans wanted an outsider — but that number grew to 65 percent by September. So we may be confusing cause and effect. If Republicans became attracted to Trump and Carson, for whatever reason, they may then go ahead and tell voters that they want an outsider. Likewise, when Democrats say they prefer an insider, that may just mean they like Hillary Clinton.

Several of the GOP candidates have said during their debates and in public statements that some climate change may be caused by humans, but they oppose possible remedies that harm the economy. Among the Democrats, O’Malley aims for a 100 percent renewable energy grid by 2050. Clinton pledged to install 500 million solar panels as president.

No. According to a September Pew Research Center poll, 65 percent of Republicans wanted a candidate with new ideas and a different approach versus experience and a proven record. Only 42 percent of Democrats felt the same way.
