Editor's note: Dem Debate.

Joe Biden by Gage Skidmore

As you may be aware there is going to be a debate tonight. It will be broadcast on CNN (ugh) and will star Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, the only two candidates in the race that qualified for it. Tulsi Gabbard is still in the race but the DNC keeps changing the rules to screw her over so she won't be attending. The debate starts at 7:00 PM central time and I will be watching barring some kind of disaster (which is certainly possible these days!)

As always I will be live tweeting the debate and you can follow along on Twitter and Gab. Even though I dislike both Sanders and Biden I do like covering these debates and you never know what will happen with those two. With Biden seemingly losing his mind and Sanders as angry and loud as ever it might be interesting.

Of course the Coronavirus is going to dominate the debate and with CNN moderating I expect there to be about 30 minutes of so of uninterrupted Trump bashing. Though the Coronavirus is obviously the biggest story right now, it makes little sense for these candidates to debate it since even if they both survive (no sure thing even before the virus!) and get elected, the crisis should hopefully be over by the time they are sworn in.

It's going to be an odd debate with one of the moderators already dropping out. Jorge Ramos is in self-quarantine due to being exposed to the virus. And there won't be an audience due to similar concerns. This probably hurts Bernie more as his supporters tend to make a lot of noise and help him out. Either way, it's going to be a historic debate regardless of what happens and I am going to watch it as it happens!
