As you may know the 2nd Democratic Debates start tomorrow. They will be broadcast on CNN (ugh) and they will be held on July 30th and 31st, 7-9pm. As always I will be live tweeting the debates as they happen. You can follow along on my Twitter account or my Gab account as I will be cross posting on both sites.
The line up for both nights are below:
July 30th order from left to right.
Marianne Williamson
Tim Ryan
Amy Klobuchar
Pete Buttigieg
Bernie Sanders
Elizabeth Warren
Beto O'Rourke
John Hickenlooper
John Delaney
Steve Bullock
July 31st order from left to right.
Michael Bennet
Kirsten Gillibrand
Julián Castro
Cory Booker
Joe Biden
Kamala Harris
Andrew Yang
Tulsi Gabbard
Jay Inslee
Bill de Blasio
Amazingly there are five other candidates still running in the Democratic Primary that did not qualify for the debates.
Seth Moulton
Tom Steyer
Mike Gravel
Joe Sestak
Wayne Messam
For the first night I think the main people to watch are Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Peter Butgieg is the only other viable candidate and the rest are a bunch of irrelevants. Marianne Williamson is probably the most interesting of this group for the meme potential but that's about it.
The real fireworks should be on the 31st with frontrunner Joe Biden probably the main target. Kamala Harris and Biden got into it pretty badly the last time around and are likely to do so again. Also of note are the two candidates that are the most popular with the right, Tulsi Gabbard (for her foreign policy) and Andrew Yang (for free money). Gabbard had a good night last time but Yang is going to have to prove that he can actually present his ideas to a wider audience. I also dread this debate due to the insuferable Kristen Gillibrand who will likely screech like a banshee and interrupt everyone. She was by far the most annoying candidate the last time around.
No matter what happens, I expect to probably be able to write up a post summarizing the events the next day, time permitting. If not, I should absolutely be able to live tweet both debates so you can always follow along, assuming you can stomach this clown show.
