Sotomayor and ginsburg should recuse themselves from cases involving him. But first the stage is set and the battle lines are drawn. Tonights critical debate, its frontrunner Bernie Sanders against everyone else, and this comes only days before the South Carolina primary on saturday and one week before super tuesday. Sanders is still fending off criticism over his remarks about former cuban leader Fidel Castros Literacy Program. After sanders defended himself at last nights town hall, Pete Buttigieg took the opportunity to pounce. You know what, teaching people to read and write is a good thing. The truth is the truth. And thats what happened in the first years of the castro regime. As a democrat, i dont want to be explaining why our nominee is encouraging people to look on the bright side of the castro regime when were going into the election of our lives. Our jessica dean is in charleston, South Carolina, which is the site of tonights democratic debate, and jessica, tell us what is o
Done with him. Martha others are warming to Bernie Sanders as the nominee saying he has a broad base and very passionate followers. And that means he can absolutely be President Trump. South carolina senator Lindsey Graham says his brand of politics he believes is too extreme.

And tonight the person with the biggest target on his back, Bernie Sanders, will be in the center of the stage after his decisive win in the nevada. He is now the indisputable front runner. One line of attack likely to be about sanders doubling down on his comments about fidel castro. When fidel castro first came to power which was when . 59 . 59, 60. Okay. Do you know what he did . He initiated a major literacy program. I think teaching people to read and write is a good thing. And it isnt just castro back in 1985. Sanders sat down with Daniel Ortega whos accused of widespread human rights abuses. Here is what sanders said. Ortega is an impressive guy. Sanders opponents of course are seizing on those remarks. Here they are today. Why are we spotlighting the literacy programs of a brutal dictator instead of being unambiguous in our condemnation abou
On stage tonight. The last one before super tuesday, a week from today, when 14 states will hold primaries. Sanders will be right in the middle tonight. Standing between former Vice President joe biden. We see that. And senator Elizabeth Warren. And one candidate expected to throw some punches tonight is former new york mayor, Mike Bloomberg, who needs to show some muscle.
