I, for one, look forward to our all-female overlords.

Wait.

I mean I am looking forward to a debate with substantive questions without a great deal of dick posturing.

Still not a reason to start watching. Wake me when there are no more than three candidates on the stage.

Gender of the moderators is less important to me than their journalistic chops.

It will give Donnie something extra to whine and snark about. Go for it, Donnie, your numbers with women will be better than ever.

I cringe at the thought of any question Andrea Mitchell would ask

How is Yang in this debate—or Steyer for that matter—but not Klobuchar?

I’d rather see Klobuchar, Castro, and O’Rourke up there than Yang and Steyer. I really don’t think anyone who hasn’t held political office or ever had a government job should be permitted to participate in the Democratic Presidential Debates.

I just don’t understand why the Democratic Party should host completely inexperienced political/governmental neophytes at a debate for the highest political office in the country. It’s ridiculous.

I’m not saying they can’t collect signatures, or get themselves on the Democratic primary ballots. I’m just saying the Democratic Party shouldn’t be hosting people with zero experience in government at a debate to be the nominee for President of the United States.

I never trusted Mrs Allan Greenspan to give an unbiased report .

…but really, do O’Rourke, Klobuchar, or anyone else polling consistently below 5% really need to be wasting time on stage? I think the DNC was way to lenient on upping the limits

If it was a foreign policy question…maybe, but she makes my blood boil on some the economic questions she asks

people with zero experience in government
We’ve seen the results in the Trump Administration from top to bottom
I work for a small local government that has more ethics and function than the Trump administration will ever see

She gets that from her hubby Allan (There’s a slight froth in the housing market) Greenspan who was in charge when the economy exploded in 2007
He doesn’t know shit and neither does she
