Anybody see a setup here? 4-5 democrat candidates OF COLOR don't qualify to be on the stage. That means the media has done their job whittling down the candidates to where at least one of the democrats will finish #1 or 2. Don't fall into the trap. Bianco and Hilton should refuse to participate and thereby accuse the MSM of racism. Let the 3 WHITE democrat candidates carve each other up on stage. I can see the setup. Can the gop?

You can be sure the questioners will attempt to get the 2 republicans to go after each other and I believe we are THAT stupid.

I’m sure a judge has an order already signed on zhir zhe’s desk to kick out the republicans.

Bwa ha ha ha!

Next up, it'll be leaked -- who in the DNC was behind the downfall of Swalwell, showing what a stinking crap-pile of corruption the Demagogic Party is, thus handing two Republicans a head-to-head in the general?
