Democratic Debate Drinking Game: Rules For When To Sip, Gulp And Guzzle During Univision-Washington Post Showdown
Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders are set to square off Wednesday night in Miami for another Democratic presidential debate. This one marks the eighth time the candidates have shared a stage this election cycle, and the second time they will face each other in four days.
The debate, which is being hosted by Univision and the Washington Post, comes just days before voters in Florida will participate in the state’s primary. While Florida is a swing state in general elections, it also carries significance in the primary season because it has 246 delegates up for grabs.
So far, Clinton has been leading Sanders in the state, but Wednesday’s debate could be a chance for the Vermont senator to showcase his policies in front of Florida voters. While Clinton is ahead in national polling, holding an average of 51 percent to Sanders’ 39.6 percent, she has an even greater lead in Florida.
In the Sunshine State, Clinton holds an average of 57.8 percent, while Sanders has 32.2 percent, according to Real Clear Politics. A recent survey from News 13/Survey USA had Clinton up 61-30 over Sanders.
Still, Sanders has said he is in the race for the long haul, and the debate in Miami should be a memorable one. After an intense and policy-filled Sunday debate in Flint, Michigan, the Democratic candidates are likely to bring their A-game again Wednesday night.
