Depending on your perspective, Hillary Clinton either has a lot of work to do in tonight’s Democrat debate or basically none at all. There’s an argument to be made for the latter with much to recommend it because this isn’t the general election. Hillary’s immediate task is to win the nomination of her party and by nearly every recent poll she has little or nothing to worry about. While Bernie Sanders may be leading in a couple of early states and drawing huge crowds and the buzz factor of a bored political media machine, she’s holding a solid lead among Democrats in most of the rest of the states and nationally as well. The DNC and most of its surrogates are still providing a firewall for her in every way possible while whistling past the graveyard in terms of her general election favorability numbers and untrustworthy nature in the eyes of the public. In that regard, Clinton really doesn’t need to do anything tonight other than avoid making any major mistakes and she should, at least in theory, be able to coast on to an easy primary victory.
