I bet Balart is there to ask softball questions about immigration.

[BillyBoy]

That would be my guess as well.

But my question is whether Jose Diaz-Balart self-identifies as a "conservative Republican" like his brothers do. If so, why is he moderating an internal RAT party debate?

[Vlad The Inhaler]

What a circus this will be!

[C19fan]

His brother Mario is a GOP Congressman and only 1 of 7 GOP House members to support a new amnesty bill.

FR should hold an informal sweepstakes on who the ultimate Dem nominee will be. Despite the large field they all seem to have major flaws.

Good idea. I agree that they all have major flaws. Especially the three “front runners”, the groper, the doper and the squaw.

There is also H. L. Mencken’s definition of an election as “an advance auction of stolen goods.”

[Hootowl]

Good point. I stand corrected, with the caveat that they are not the Democratic Party. They are the Democrat Party.

[Red Badger]

LOL!..Yep!..............

Five Democrats.

My prediction: they will target the low hanging fruit to weed out most of the deadwood.

Biden will be treated like a prince, as he is the Obama veep. Bernie will also be treated with some deference.

Now I could be wrong, but I don’t think the low rung candidates will survive after this first debate.

Every one of these guys and gals are grifters....but the survivors, the ones who will be treated kindly by the five Democrat questioners, will be the aformentioned Biden, Bernie, Kamala and Lieawatha.

More like 5 facilitators, propagandist, coaches, ass kissers... the list of terms that can be attached to the American media would tear up a thesaurus.

[GOPJ]

Softball questions and ‘pile on Trump’ questions.

Here’s what we know for sure - moderators of the ‘debate’ are working hand in glove with the people on the stage. They WANT democrats to look good AND they want them to win the presidency.

In short, questions that highlight what they think will appeal to the American voter. It’ll be fun to watch the dishonest manipulators do their dance...
