It seems that most people have their minds made up as to who they will support.

Hillary has are ardent supporters and equally as ardent haters. Neither side is going to change their minds.

Bernie and O'Malley may have some shot at gaining supporters but I don't think this debate will lose any current supporters for them.

Also - given that this debate is scheduled on the Saturday before Christmas with football games and Star Wars to booth - I don't think people are really eager to give up their other activities to watch this tonight.

It does seem that sides are so dug in and there is so much animosity between these sides that we will have reached a sort of stalemate.

This overall doesn't bode well for the Dems - as the Repugs are mugging all the TV time with their debates that this one Dem debate won't gain that much attention. Also - we don't have the comic relief of a Trump either.

Even this DNC/DWS controversy won't save this debate. Those that are interested in what will be said about it - would have listened to the debate anyway. I'm sure a lot of people are turned off by the dirty tricks that they won't be motivated to watch.
