If Warren is the nominee, there won't be a debate, for exactly that reason. Her backers are not really that stupid. They need a presentable, articulate front man (or woman) to act the part of United States President. They don't need to win a debate. They need to put on a good show that will fool the voters.
"A politician who promises to rob Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support from Paul".
None of the Democrat candidates can afford to face Trump on the stage.
I’ve been puzzling how they are going to explain why there can’t be a debate.
So far I can’t come up with anything, but I am sure they will.
