Seven Democrats to take stage in post-impeachment presidential debate

LOS ANGELES - A relatively small lineup of seven Democratic presidential contenders will take the stage for a debate on Thursday, one day after the House of Representatives made Republican Donald Trump the third president in U.S. history to be impeached.

But the debate’s timing, coming a week before the holidays and amid the impeachment fireworks in Washington, could reduce the audience and the benefits for Democratic candidates seeking a boost ahead of the first nominating contest in Iowa on Feb. 3.

The sixth debate in the race to pick a Democratic challenger to Trump in the November 2020 election features the fewest participants since the debates began in the summer, potentially giving each candidate a bigger spotlight and more time to engage with one another.

I’m not going to read their stupid, poorly-written, doesn’t-contain-a-list article.

If someone has the list, and doesn’t mind posting political filth on the internet, could you please list the names here.

You know what’s going to happen....there’s going to rowdy applause and cat calls when they mention impeachment. They can’;t help themselves.

There is no debate~!

This is their "American Idol" Santa Claus tryouts.

They're gonna give it all away till there's nothing left but starvation and death, just like every other socialist utopia.

McConnell was speaking before the senate earlier today and reading between the lines, the senate will not accept these unacceptable and illegitimate Articles of Impeachment. We’ll see.

I’d bet they will hardly mention impeachment during their debates.

The conclusion is why no list offered I guess:

In a party that prides itself on its diversity, the debate lineup has been criticized for being nearly all-white - Asian-American entrepreneur Andrew Yang is the only minority candidate to qualify.

Also participating in the debate will be billionaire activist Tom Steyer.

I like this line in the article: Biden, the centrist former U.S. vice president, and progressive leader Sanders have solidified their leading positions in recent weeks, making them potential debate targets. The moderate Buttigieg could face renewed attacks given his poll strength in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Just wow. So, Buttigieg, Sanders, Warren, Biden, Klobuchar, Yang, and Steyer. The cream of the crop!

Another snooze fest. Ten more people will probably tune it to hear more about the impeachment.
