All of the Democratic presidential candidates who have qualified for next week’s debate say they will skip the event rather than cross a planned picket line at the venue.

The seven candidates -- Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Amy Klobuchar, Tom Steyer and Andrew Yang -- all said Friday that they would not show up for the debate at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles next Thursday if the Unite Here Local 11 goes forward with its protest of food service contractor Sodexo SA.

Hillary needs a makeover after her makeover. The union thing is to let all the campaign idiots go home for Christmas break. Then the real commander in cheeks can get started.

I am not kidding.

Now, after the Horowitz report came out and exposed them all, she will disappear.

“Darn. I was really hoping to see Biden challenge Bernie to see who could do the most squat thrusts”

I think Quid pro Joe would likley win, but I would put my money on Bernie crapping his pants first.

Run for office or go to prison. It’s her survival choice.

@JoeBiden @PeteButtigieg @ewarren @SenSanders @amyklobuchar @TomSteyer @AndrewYang
Hear Y’all might boycott your own debate...that’s exactly the wrong stuff for a President to have...take your ball and go home instead of coping like an adult....twits.
