how much attention what they get in the debate next week in westerville, ohio? is an interesting question. i went to the debates in detroit. part of the reason the democrats said they wanted to have these debates, they sold it like we are going back to the voters. 2016, this disconnect in the blue wall, all that. in detroit, it seems like they missed an opportunity to talk about those issues that are not necessarily hyper local issues. they might seem that way, but you talk about great lakes water quality. in detroit, they didn't mention the great lakes once, neither the moderators nor the candidates, and you have these voters who live along great lakes states. it is a very large margin before you hit the east coast there. i don't know if impeachment will take center stage because it is the national conversation. would not expect a lot of discussion about it. it could get some play, but very minimal play. is nor example in detroit talk about water quality. you had the flint crisis a short ways away. the talk about manufacturing, there was a little bit, but less

. >>> good evening from otterbein university in westerville, ohio, site of tomorrow's democratic presidential as a preview of tomorrow's debate coming up. but we begin tonight with president trump trying to spin a win out of what people on both sides of the aisle are calling a colossal foreign policy mistake in turkey and syria, a mistake which he is the sole author. the president appears to be scrambling to fix things after the major political backlash he's experienced from both democrats and republicans alike. president trump spoke to turkey's president erdogan again today about de-escalating the fight. he also announced new sanctions against turkey in response, raising steel tariffs by 50% and halting a proposed $100 billion trade deal. president trump also now says a, quote, small foot print of soldiers will remain in southern syria. and one more thing, vice president pence is now being sent to turkey to try to broker

in westerville, mitt romney beat obama in 2012. but four years later, clinton won despite losing the state. >> there are areas that were reliably republican, big population centers that are now blue. that makes the starting point of the election a lot closer from the get go. >> reporter: the party should select a nominee who appeals to a broad cross section of voters. but jane, chairman of the ohio republican party believes trump is in a strong position here. she says all the democratic candidates are too radical for ohio. >> those messages don't really resonate in ohio and i don't think suburban voters are going to buy it. >> reporter: around kitchen tables like this, one thing has changed. the trump presidency has motivated democrats. >> i've talked to two people who admitted they voted for donald trump in 2016 and will not be doing so next time. >> do you think they're making a mistake by underestimating what is happening in your kitchen and kitchens across ohio? >> oh yeah. >> yes. >> but don't tell them. >> reporter: there's l

abc's linsey davis is in westerville, ohio, with all the highlights.morning, linsey. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you, michael. certainly some fiery exchanges on the campus here last night, again and again we saw pile-ons on senator elizabeth warren. meanwhile, mayor pete buttigieg was on the offense. it seemed clear that several of these candidates saw last night as a do or die moment, and some did, and other campaigns seemed to die. overnight, elizabeth warren stood center stage rising in the polls and now under attack from her rivals. >> senator warren is more focused on being punitive or pitting some part of the country against the other. >> reporter: the massachusetts senator also facing tough unanswered questions about her health care plan. >> will you raise taxes on the middle class for -- to pay for it, yes or no? >> so, i have made clear what my principles are here and that is costs will go up for the wealthy and for big corporations and for hardworking middle class families costs will go down. >> yes or no question that didn't get a yes

we have former mayor mitch andrew, all here to discuss the debate site here in westerville, ohio.these candidates to be focused on president trump, about their own ideas, or taking issue with each other? >> reporte >> i think the one thing they all agree with is that withdrawing u.s. troops made us less safe. nothing could be worse than him being caught red-handed in a deal with the ukranian president which launched the impeachment inquiry, not the least his decision to throw the kurds under the bus which has caused havoc in the republican caucus on the senate side. i think there will be some discussion about that tonight. the candidates also have to stay focused on the bread and butter issues most americans care about. and of course they have to distinguish each other on the stage. i expect it to be a really good night. it's a great and beautiful day for an argument and the american people, i think, are excited and looking forward to it. >> it's always a good day. even if it's not a good day for seems to are for politics. and not the best sdwrouchto joi ukrainian company, hunter

that is true for places like westerville. found it interesting that they decided to go to westerville itself instead of going to columbus, cleveland, dayton, cincinnati. that is where your democratic base is. this is a democratic debate. it might make more sense to have a general election debate in a place like that, although the infrastructure is questionable -- one road in, one road out. you have all these democratic voters in northeast ohio and columbus, even in cincinnati, a place that has been traditionally red as far as big cities go. interesting.t i think they want to show they are going to the suburbs, that they are not taking the suburban voters who came to them in 2018 for granted. is a typical suburban place where you did see that shift. host: seth richardson is on the c-span bus in cleveland. we will take viewers to todd in dayton, ohio on the phone this morning. go ahead. caller: i had a comment on with the sanctuary -- it is not called a sanctuary city. it is called a welcoming city. i do not know how democrats
