On Tuesday and Wednesday night this week, especially politically-minded Americans may have tuned into a second round of two-day Democratic presidential primary debates on CNN. But did you learn anything new about the candidates or their campaigns from that six hours of TV?
Dartmouth College political scientist and professor of government Linda Fowler joins Vermont Edition to discuss the debates, how Sanders' proposals and second presidential bid garnered much of the focus during the debates and what the televised debates revealed — or failed to reveal — about the 20 Democrats hoping to gain the party's nomination for president.
You can watch night one of the debates (featuring Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders) and night two online.
Broadcast live on Thursday, Aug. 1, 2019 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
