>> theyre not there to serve us. theyre there to serve their own needs and egos. thats another reason why im for bernie sanders. i feel that hes one of us. he walks to work. he rides coach. he talks to people. and i think thats part of the passion behind, you know, really feeling that for bernie sanders is that hes really trying to address the concerns of every american. >> mary, what do you like about martin omalley? >> hes the only one running who has 16 years of executive experience as an ele...

Follow the candidates. it seems like this campaign has been going on for a long time. but for the vast majority of earn ins who are searching to a new leader and someone that will lead us out of these times of inaction, this is a race for the democratic party. by this time eight years ago weve had nine debates and now our first will be on tuesday. >> how will you show america that you are the alternative to hillary clinton? >> im going to lay out the vision and not only the vision for the better...

And hillary clinton thought they were going to have to worry about. it turned to bernie sanders. how are you turning it back to you? >> as long as we are engaged in this, those who are candidates and those who follow the candidates, it seems the campaign has been going on for a long time. the vast majority of americans searching for a new leader moving us out of the divided and self-defeating times of gridlock and inaction. the race is just beginning for the democratic party. by this time eight ...

Theres more of what you could see in terms of our cnn host anderson cooper. hell be behind that lectern right there, then cnns dana bash and juan carlos lopez will join in with other questions. you mentioned it, the one person who might have the most at stake on tuesday night is the former maryland governor martin omalley. hes really struggled to rise in the polls. he hasnt gained much traction in this race but hes a candidate that people thought would do better at this stage of the campaign. an...

>> reporter: that explains why omalley couldnt see the huge bats swooping and screeching and diving around the car. and that got me wonder, what would hunter s thompson, the man i was poorly impersonating, think of the presidential race? >> hed probably say that the democratic party is hurting itself badly by waiting so long to start a debate. >> are democrats conspiring against the candidates not named hillary clinton? >> yeah, its hard to say. it would appear to me that theyre trying to circle...

Not above 1% or 0% in the polls, but will still be on stage. theyre experienced debaters, theyre tough debaters. lincoln chafee was the only republican, he became a democrat, but was the only republican who voted against the iraq war. jim webb also voted against the iraq war, and hes a very difficult debater and likes to back people into a corner. i have no doubt theyll be the ones who will be attacking hillary, while bernie sanders has chosen to be a little softer. and i think martin omalley pr...
