| − | The first night was the ''Thrilla in Vanilla'', the all-white card with ''Warren vs Sanders'' headlining the matchup to see who can out-socialist who. Buttigieg, Williamson, O'Rourke, Klobuchar, Delaney, Ryan, and Hickenlooper were also scheduled; in an inexplicable move, Mike Gravel, who qualified for the debate, got bumped for Steve Bollocks, whom nobody can explain why he is running. All the people of color were bunched together the second night, with the dreaded ''Biden vs. Harris'' rematch. Biden has been in intensive training to take on Harris, who is below his weight class. Look for Harris and Booker double teaming to finish off Biden. Gabbard, Yang, Booker, Gillibrand, Inslee, Bennet, De Blasio and the DNC/media darling Castro were also scheduled the second night. After all candidates went on record nullifying citizenship rights by advocating [[open borders]], free healthcare for [[illegal immigrant]]s and no citizenship questions, the rules in this debate forbid a show-of-hands question. CNN fake news narrative engineers Dana Bash, [[Don Lemon]] and [[Jake Tapper]] were named moderators. | + | The first night was the ''Thrilla in Vanilla'', the all-white card with ''Warren vs Sanders'' headlining the matchup to see who can out-socialist who.
