25. I thought there was 2 debates left . I know the next is before my state votes. So that is the last?

The primary debate can not be avoided.
Will the broadcasters fact check Biden if he exaggerates like the 150 million killed by gun violence comment to Sanders?
Hmmm we will see .
You know the media always comes out with “opinions “ after the debates too

Remember crazy trump the msm claimed in 16 won debates with Hillary etc.

To Biden’s advantage, if he wins the nomination, trump may not want to debate anyone at all.

Sanders, if he gets in, also can’t demand trump debate him I guess either
and the media of course will ignore how outrageous trump is for not participating in presidential debates but will cover his rallies

Gone now, but I bet Biden is glad he is not debating warren especially after those Bloomberg take downs she did but even before that I felt that way .

At least with Sanders he can always say words like Castro or scary socialism

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
