    "
    NBC announced on Tuesday the five moderators for the first Democratic presidential primary debate, set for later this month.

    Savannah Guthrie, Lester Holt, Chuck Todd, Rachel Maddow and José Diaz-Balart will moderate the debate, which will take place at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Miami over two nights on June 26-27."

    Oh THIS will be hard hitting :roflol:

    One mod's in charge of keeping Biden from dry-humping any young girls in the audience, another will operate Bernie's defibrillator, a third one keeps watch over Warren putting on her headdress, and I think the other two - probably Rachel and Savannah - are keeping an eye out on all the male NBC employees with the debate questions in case Kamala tries to **** them for the list in advance.

    The debates are here already?
    I thought the Democrats had yet to put forth any serious candidates.


    (Bernie might be a borderline serious candidate, but I think everyone is aware his age at this point probably precludes him from being seriously considered)

    Biden looks to be the shoe-in, at this point.

    Maybe the Democrats just simply don't care because they're not very confident they will win the election.

    Regardless of who is asking the softball questions, this will be a shitshow of the highest order. Must watch TV.

    It won't be a "debate" it will be little campaign talking points and everybody trash Trump without offering anything about how they will do what they propose and how they will pay for it.

    That might very well be true. Have you considered taking the time to try and figure out why that might be?

    I doubt Kamala’s purple cabbage has the buying power it once had.

    I'm still thinking Harris will be the DNC choice to run against Trump. With Cali moving up their primary date, she should be able to take a commanding lead and ride that to the nomination.

    Don't forget Biden the guy who if elected, promises to cure cancer.

    Which one will the DNC tap with the job of giving their pick the questions before the debate? I'm going to Maddow...and the DNC pick clearly will be Biden. Obviously he is gonna need the help.

    I've never seen a debate - from either side or the actual presidential debates - where candidates offered substantial proposals on HOW they will achieve their goals. Have you? Until that happens, I will regard all debates as exactly as you have described...a televised campaign event.

    I don't watch them because I don't believe we should take what politicians say seriously. I will ignore what they say and watch what they actually do.

    You'd better hope not because she has no policy.

    Everything she is asked about she responds with, "well that's something we will look into".

    The only one putting out serious policy is Booker but he realistically has no shot at it.

    Biden is already a laughing stock and his numbers will start falling.

    I'm thinking now that the best choices look like butthead and warren.

    Since she said she would prosecute Trump if elected.
    That might be enough to push her to the lead.

    Could you imagine the outrage if FOX was hosting and they picked Hannity?

    Hannity will be the only moderator when Trump appears on Fox News during the Republican presidential primary.

    I don't believe there will be any Republican debates at this point. Who would he be debating?

    If candidate Donald Trump was able to take down 19 GOP presidential candidates for the Republican nomination for President one at a time back in 2016, and George Soros and the DNC and Hillary's campaign from day one were sending their Soros goon squads and Antifa soldiers to disrupt Trump rallies even before Trump had won the GOP nomination, wouldn't you expect some pay back ?

    I'm more curious who Putin, the British and Mi-6, the Chi-Coms, Mexico, France, Israel, France, Central America, the drug cartels and MS-13 will be supporting and rooting for ?

    Not forgetting the FBI who were politicized during the Obama administration.

    Because they don't know how they will do what they propose and how they will pay for it all they have is sloganeering and pandering.

    maddow's first question to any candidate.
    Do you hate trump less, more or about the same as I do?

    followup quesiton would be
    do you think he should be impeached today, tomorrow, or next week?
