5. I am sure that Warren and Harris will

After Bernie got boo-ed at She The People I suppose that could make him think twice. As for Biden, the only reason I would see him not going would be if it would hurt him with the rust belt voters. I think they all should go, though. Hopefully they will.

3. Cory and Pete both bring a lot of intellectual rigor to the discussion!

I will be looking forward to this!
