From what I have heard it is going to be a totally "softball" approach by the moderators. Bernie and Hillary also have supposedly agreed to go soft. What a farce.

CNN host Anderson Cooper, who is set to moderate tonight's Democratic debate, was listed as a "notable past member" the Clinton Global Initiative's website along with a number of other big name journalists:

The list includes: CNN's Anderson Cooper and Christiane Amanpour, Fox's Greta Van Susteren, NBC's Matt Lauer and Tom Brokaw, New York Times's Thomas Friedman and Nicholas Kristof, Fox Business Network's Maria Bartiromo, Yahoo's Katie Couric, The Economist's Matthew Bishop, and Financial Times' Lionel Barber.

So this debate will be how GREAT we the Demarcate party are.   

OK - here we go, no tough questions, everyone agreeing with each other, the Republicans are evil (Jeb is OK with them).

Now that we got the usual out-of-the-way, we need to lay the ground rules for debate watchers.   B.S. Bingo?  Drinking game?

Republican are racist, yes or no?

Conservative are even more racist, yes or no?

I don't know why these people are calling it a "debate" this is going to be a reaffirmation of the socialist agenda of the last 7 years and who among them can best follow in the footsteps of Obamao continuing the fundamental change of the USA from a world power to a third rate bankrupt marxist hell hole. Pretty much their campaigns are all a reflection of each other, high taxes, a nuclear Iran, unchecked illegal immigration etc etc ad naseum.

BUT I might tune in to watch in hopes that Madame Le Farge will have a purple faced eye popping screaming melt down right there in front of God and everybody, or Bernie soils his depends and wanders off backstage like an Alzheimers patient and is found sleeping with his head in a urinal Or Maybe O'Malley looses it and declares the entire State of Maryland a gun free zone in which every sworn Police officer will be indicted for something or other.

Seems like there's zero buzz happening about it, other than the buzz about there not being an aura of ratings expectations. 

I may comment-stream here as it happens... or not.  CNN's presentation may be too awful to allow for satire.  An elite smugfest. 

Ann Coulter on Twitter, or somebody like that, might be a haven to catch debate-snippets if the telecast is unwatchable.  -Because Cruz won't be streaming there, that I can discover.  Only Cruz-supporters like ConservativeChick;

Too easy for them.   They'd need buttons like a game show, Jeopardy, to spice it up.

For $100: "The most racist political party ...."  ding, ding, ding!
Bernie for $100 ... "Who is the KKK..?  beep-beep
Hillary for $100 ... "Who is the The GOP?"  DING!

For $200: "This candidate called a gay, fat slob ..."   ding, ding, ding! 
Hillary for $200 ... "Who is Donald Trump"!  DING!

Are they going to stream this live, or does it need to be "cleansed and re-spun" by media pundants first?

Yeah, it'll be streamed somewhere left-of-center... but I have late addition to your above list:  indigenous peoples

Good one - would that be worth a 1 (probable)?

I won't be watching.  Don't want to give them a higher rating than they deserve. 

Besides, I just cannot stomach the thought of listening to those radicals!!

I'd give an affirmative nod.  The candidates/mods probably won't use the word 'diversity', seeings how they're all white.

What an ironic dichotomy.

Another word these leftist are using a lot is   INCLUSIVE and INCLUSIVENESS....that means we have to let illegal aliens vote and include the UN in our decision making process.


Should be worth only 1 point.

Will black lives matter be able to invade and disrupt the debate with their protesters? They have been dogging the dims all over the country! Think they'll try to bust security? Oh I h0pe so!!
