Originally scheduled to take place in Phoenix, Arizona, the debate has been shifted to Washington due to the coronavirus outbreak. Even the moderators had to change up as it was announced that Jorge Ramos will no longer be among them after coming in contact with someone who had COVD-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of the debate itself, this might be last call for Bernie Sanders. The Vermont Senator has gone from frontrunner status to being a complete afterthought in a matter of weeks and if he can\u2019t turn things around with a strong debate on Sunday, it might be over for him. The betting markets show he has virtually no chance of securing the 2020 Democratic Nomination but if he can make former Vice President Joe Biden look bad on Sunday, maybe he still has a shot?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DEMOCRATIC DEBATE BETTING ODDS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BERNIE SANDERS REFERENCE BIDEN&#8217;S AUTO WORKER RANT?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NO -500    <br>YES +300    <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>HOW MANY TIMES &#8216;TIME IS UP&#8217; BE SAID BY MODERATORS?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UNDER 4\u00bd TIME IS UP -250    <br>OVER 4\u00bd TIME IS UP +170    <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TOTAL NON-FACTS SAID BY BERNIE SANDERS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>OVER 3\u00bd NON-FACTS -140    <br>UNDER 3\u00bd NON-FACTS +100  <\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TOTAL NON-FACTS SAID BY JOE BIDEN<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>OVER 2\u00bd NON-FACTS -175    <br>UNDER 2\u00bd NON-FACTS +135    <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TOTAL TIMES &#8216;CORONAVIRUS&#8217; BE SAID BY CANDIDATES<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>OVER 8\u00bd CORONAVIRUS -150    <br>UNDER 8\u00bd CORONAVIRUS +110   <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TOTAL TIMES &#8216;STOCK MARKET&#8217; BE SAID BY CANDIDATES<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UNDER 5\u00bd STOCK MARKET -300    <br>OVER 5\u00bd STOCK MARKET +200    <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TOTAL TIMES &#8216;TRUMP&#8217; BE SAID BY CANDIDATES<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>OVER 27\u00bd TRUMP -120    <br>UNDER 27\u00bd TRUMP -120    <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>WHO WILL WIN THE DEBATE?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BERNIE SANDERS    -170    <br>JOE BIDEN +130    <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Sanders to win on Sunday, he\u2019s going to have to hammer away on Biden. That will include going over all of his gaffes \u2013 like when Biden stated that 150 million Americans were killed by gun violence at a previous debate \u2013 and showing that he\u2019s unfit to be the nominee and President. Sanders biggest challenge has been that most Democrats believe that Biden is the party\u2019s best opportunity to beat Trump in the 2020 Presidential Election. Sanders has been losing the case of electability. If he can turn that tide, he might start to win some of the upcoming primaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge with Sanders is that he rarely goes after the low-hanging fruit, which is good and bad. On one hand, he likes to stay above the fray. For example, when Hillary Clinton was his biggest contender in 2016, he never brought up the situation with e-mails or Benghazi, even though that\u2019s exactly what candidate Donald Trump did en route to his victory. Had Sanders done the same, the outcome might have changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sanders again is faced with the same opportunity. If he brings up the fact that Biden forgot the words to the declaration of independence, argued with a union worker in Michigan this past week or that Biden would veto Medicare For All, Sanders can make him look pretty bad. If Sanders decides to go light on him and merely highlight his on strengths without knocking Biden down a peg, he\u2019s not going to win the debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For better or worse, we\u2019ve seen that Biden isn\u2019t good at getting beat up on a debate stage. Former contenders Kamala Harris and Cory Booker hammered Biden at previous debates and that is why Biden fell from the front runner status in the first place. Sanders has to follow that strategy if he wants any short of winning this nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The political betting season is heating up&#8211;to get all of the latest news and odds <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/betonline_ag\">follow BetOnline.ag on Twitter<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/betonline_ag\/\">BetOnline.ag on Instagram<\/a>&#8211;Follow for the latest odds, stats and information!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 11th debate of the Democratic primary will take place on Sunday, March 15th in Washington, D.C.
