Buffalo, NY (WBEN) Ten candidates, three hours, one debate. You'll hear the Democratic presidential primary debate tonight on WBEN. But one local debate moderator says this is a recipe for disaster.
Democratic debate: Top 2020 contenders finally on same stage
Lina says the Democrats have moved far to the progressive left. "That's clearly going to be used against them, because I don't believe the party is that far left-leaning," says Lina. "We tend to elect on both sides of the aisle more moderate candidates, and if you look at the front runners, they are the extremist in the Democrat party."
Lina believes a mistake will make headlines rather than a talking point, and whoever wins will have those comments used against them by the opposition party.
Debate coverage begins at 7pm.
