 Tonight on CNN is the second 2020 Democratic Party primary debate and as was the case last time They will also be divided into two different nights. So on night one We will see Marianne Williamson, John Delaney, John Hickenlooper, Tim Ryan, Steve Bullock, Amy Klobuchar, Betta O'Rourke, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders all face off And I just wanted to do a quick video where I give you my impressions of the lineup as well as what I think we Can expect or maybe look out for so the first thing that stands out to me is How many losers we have on the debate stage? centrists who are polling at 0% maybe 1% if we're being extra charitable here I mean, do we really need John Delaney, John Hickenlooper, Tim Ryan and Steve Bullock all On the debate stage. I mean half of these people basically are Unknown to the broader public and it wouldn't be as big of a deal if individuals like Mike Gravel weren't excluded I mean he qualified by reaching the 65,000 individual donor threshold and he still was excluded But instead we have people like Steve Bullock. How many people in the country know who Steve Bullock is? Do we need that much representation for centrists on the debate stage? I mean if you look at all of these individuals and you ask the average American Which one of these people is John Hickenlooper? How many of them would be able to pinpoint which person is John Hickenlooper? I mean do you understand the issue here? So since there's so many centrists here This will essentially be a debate between Progressives and centrists because you kind of have three different camps, right? So you have the progressives Bernie Sanders Elizabeth Warren I would include Marianne Williamson is in this camp as well and then you have the anti socialists You know Steve Bullock John Hickenlooper John Delaney Tim Ryan and then you have the centrists Pete Buddha judge Amy Klobuchar Beto O'Rourke So really I think what we're going to see is a dog pile on Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren out of all of these people They are the front runners within this group. So I mean naturally you can expect them to be the targets Now here's what I want to see I hope that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren abstain from attacking one another because they absolutely Should team up here for purposes of this debate in order to take down these centrists And I expect that they won't attack each other However, last time I said that since they were both polling fairly well All they needed to do was maintain just coast through that first debate and let people kind of eliminate themselves This time I'm gonna say we really need Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren to play offense And maybe not necessarily go out of your way to attack someone But I can assume that Medicare for all will be a subject that comes up Don't just sit back and say no that's incorrect You're wrong when you say this is someone like Beto O'Rourke who I predict will go after Medicare for all does in fact Do that hit him hard Don't sit back and just hope that the American people, you know see that you're correct Don't give people the impression that this is a good faith debate between two Actors who just want what's best for the American people call him out for the show that he is call Pete Buttigieg out for the show That he is call out John Delaney who's been attacking Medicare for all like we need to see Some more action and viciousness from Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren because even if they're doing okay now in the polls They're basically leaving the door open for someone else like Kamala Harris who isn't afraid to go on the offensive to kind of Leapfrog them in this race so I do think that they need to get a little bit more aggressive and I want to see that during this debate take the gloves off no more beating around the bush Don't handle them with the kit gloves no more politeness if they go after you That's an invitation to hit them hard now here is what I want to say about Mary Ann Williamson So she is someone who I would expect to align with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren Even if I think she's probably more Centrist like maybe not necessarily centrist But I don't believe she is a progressive in the sense that Bernie Sanders is a progressive because she keeps waffling back on really Core issues so she can speak intelligently about race about economic issues, but when it comes to like issues like Medicare for all Just the other day on Colbert. She said that she supports a public option But before she said she supports Medicare for all so I don't really see her as a true progressive even if I like her But I do kind of expect her to align with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren for purposes of this debate You can kind of see you know a similar block pop-up with Amy Klobuchar better or work and Pete Buddha judge Now here's one thing that I don't want to see happen I think that John Delaney and John Hickenlooper more so John Delaney Will kind of muscle their way through to the top of this debate just because they are going to go after Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren they're gonna be aggressive and if you are aggressive, that's how you get more airtime You kind of just shove your way to the front but really if Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren if they play their cards right and even if the centrists like Amy Klobuchar better or work and Pete Buttigieg play their cards, right? They would kind of drown out the voices like Steve Bullock and John Delaney They're pulling at 0% So I mean it would be in the interest of someone like Pete Buttigieg for example to go after John Delaney as well Because he's kind of trying to play in your lane and he's taking up time and he's pulling at 0% So there's really no reason to hear what John Delaney has to say So I want to see viciousness I want to see attacks and I'm not just saying that because I like watching fireworks for purposes of entertainment Of course, but I want to see real movement here from Bernie And he's got to actually start Taking the gloves off same with Elizabeth Warren. They shouldn't direct their fire at one another But absolutely, I mean if we hear Pete Buttigieg Amy Klobuchar and better or work talk about how Medicare for all It's too ambitious because it eliminates private insurance Hit them hard go after them Don't let them spread misinformation here because you have a national audience watching you So now is your chance to make the case and if you're Bernie Sanders, you have the best record out of everyone So Elizabeth Warren basically what she needs to do is align with Bernie Sanders kind of be his attack dog And you know Bernie Sanders should be the standout here out of everyone because he is the most progressive so really I want to see Bernie Sanders win and This would be an important victory, right because right now he is kind of stagnating So we need that spark we need to ignite a spark and he has an opportunity to do that at this debate But my problem is Bernie is just too nice, right? It's not in his nature to kind of be negative and go on the offensive But listen if they call you out or they say that your Medicare for all plan is too ambitious or it's pine the sky That is basically an open-ended invitation to rip them apart. So this is going to be Kind of a weird debate I don't really know what to expect overall because you have so many centrists so many non entities people who Really don't need to be at this debate in this debate So that could overall influence the dynamic of this debate But if Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren again play their cards, right? They could dominate this and I hope that they kind of talked beforehand to formulate a strategy because it's incumbent on them To shine and prove to people that progressivism is the way to go now You know Elizabeth Warren isn't my go-to example for who's the most progressive but certainly for purposes of this debate Her and Bernie have got a team up. Absolutely. So we'll see You know, we'll find out in my post-debate analysis how that went But I want to see a victory here from Bernie Sanders. I'm not saying that, you know, he's just got to maintain here I want him to win this debate. He needs to win this debate Mike is a total loser. So don't hit the subscribe button.
