8:27 am
incredibly diverse group you know about 50 percent of them speak spanish about 20 percent of them speak creole and they'll be down in our in our base communities communicating with both voters and registering new voters data from the vote a study group shows that 6000000 voters who backed barack obama in 2012 helped win in 2016 but the next presidential election may be about more than getting those people back president bill clinton once famously said that every u.s. election is about the economy and not maybe the democratic party's biggest challenge if job figures in financial markets is still doing well political analysts say the democrats will focus on the president's behavior making this an election about morals not numbers if the democrats can mount a really good attack on all the stupid things that trump has done professor joseph use in ski says the democrats may focus on the president's temperament not policy it may very well be an election about trump's behavior his morality his rhetoric
8:28 am
which is not just decisive but sometimes you know phobic in races so if they focus on those things they'll be playing to their strengths. lisa santos is a small business owner. democratic party activist primary concern is immigration policy but she also wants candidates to speak from the heart and don't back down like to say what you believe because a lot of times you getting you did because of we're scared of what the reaction might be and i think what worked so offer trump is he was not muted he said what he believed in and he stood behind it the democratic party will select its presidential candidate next summer as things stand former vice president joe biden is leading the pack it in the end the 2020 race may be more about personalities than anything else. miami florida and it's now speak to elizabeth anchor who's associate professor of american studies and political science at george washington university she is by skype from portland in the western state of oregon live in fact from oregon thank you so much elizabeth for being with us so what are you
8:29 am
going to be watching for in these debates policy or personality or more about who is best suited to take on donald trump. you know one thing that all of the candidates agree on and most democratic voters is that trump has to go so i think ready we're going to see less the kind of discussions about trump and really more about how these candidates are going to distinguish themselves from one another big do have to communicate in a short period of time but with personality and policy they have to come off as both likable and strong able to defeat trump in the main election but also right now we're in the field is very open a show biden is leading but in part that's because he has the most name recognition it's early so i think we're going to see a lot tonight on what the policies are i think it's going to be a lot about ideas and we have different policies for making lives better for the majority of americans as you say you have a lot of candidates 20 from various backgrounds who among them do you think
8:30 am
especially among the newcomers stands a better chance of you know standing out in such a crowded field. i think tonight elizabeth warren is clearly the front runner so we will definitely see her and i think she being so policy focused and so organized is changing many of the ways that other candidates are presenting themselves forcing them to really focus on their own policies cory booker has been really strong especially in questions about race racial inequality gender inequality and i think we're going to see him putting forth a lot of his proposals tonight we also have jay inslee who is running on one issue only climate change because he believes that it's the most important issue facing the country if not the globe will see a lot which he has to say and i also think he is forcing other candidates to talk about climate change as well when you know everybody in the democratic party agrees we need to have better policies than we do but people vary widely on how much we
8:31 am
need to overhaul the economy in order to get carbon out of it and i think is going to give us a lot about that tonight what about bernie sanders he came very close to winning the democratic nomination in the 2016 election does he stand a better chance this time around do you think. it will be really interesting we see both biden and sanders tomorrow night they are both the 2 front runners and they stand for very different things biden is suggesting that you know of course that trump needs to go that he will be a calm and better states person but also that we can continue with many of the obama era policies that we had in the past bernie sanders is arguing not only that trump needs to go and that we need a you know a different person at the helm but that we also need to change many of the ways that things are done in the united states certainly beyond where they were in the obama era in major changes about global inequality about wealth inequality and how
8:32 am
to make. how to make our economic system more fair so i think you know they will be having kind of you know the polar sides of the debate and we'll get to see that tomorrow night going to be very interesting to see how it all pans out thank you so much elizabeth thank you for speaking to us elizabeth anchor's from george washington university. pro-democracy campaign is a staging another mass gathering in central hong kong the demonstrations began against legislative changes which would make it possible for criminal suspects to be extradited to mainland china from hong kong hong kong andrew thomas reports. for the 2nd time in a week hong kong police were trapped more than a 1000 protesters are angry at how police at handled recent protests swarmed late night around the city center headquarters what's going on here is that the protesters are trying to barricade the place inside their compound they say this is a nonviolent demonstration but they're making their anger with the place very clear
