Bernie Sanders (I-VT), former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, former Rhode Island Senator and Governor Lincoln Chafee, and former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb–will debate tonight in Las Vegas.

The easiest way for candidates Lincoln Chafee and especially Martin O’Malley to gain traction tonight is to go after the front-runner. Even though Democratic insiders have promised that this debate will be more polite in tone than its Republican counterparts, Hillary Clinton is a moving target for the other five candidates on the stage. This will be similar to the 2008 debates, where challengers including Joe Biden and Bill Richardson helped Barack Obama to break out by tag-teaming Clinton.

Republicans came to see themselves as insurgents and revolutionaries, and every revolution tends toward anarchy and ends up devouring its own.”
