It's debate night on CNN.
Tonight's debate will have the first set of Democratic candidates duke it out. The second night will have the second set. The Democratic National Committee, chairman Tom Perez, the NAACP, the Urban League of Detroit, the Michigan Democratic Party and CNN host tonight's debate at the Fox Theatre in downtown Detroit.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), Sen. Debbie Stabbnow (D-MI) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) likely will be in attendance.
The state of Michigan went to Donald J. Trump in 2016. He won the state by three points. The state was considered a Democratic safe hold. Now it's considered a swing state. While Ohio is trending more towards Republicans, Democrats need to hold on to Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The states are crucial more than ever. If the Democrats fail to win these states, they'll expect four more years of Trump.
Trump has a 60% chance of winning reelection. Trump has 49% chance of winning Michigan.
The two and half hour debate will discuss a wide arrange of topics.
The candidates make it or break it moment comes tonight. Some candidates will shine.
Some will eventually burn out.
Who will win tonight's CNN Democratic Debate in Detroit? (Expect the dumbest answers to be picked)
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)
South Bend mayor Pete Buttgieg
Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas
Sen. Amy Klobucher (D-MN)
Former Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH)
Former Rep. John Delaney of Maryland
Marianne Williamson
Gov. Steve Bullock of Montana
Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton and Miramar, Florida, Mayor Wayne Messam, two candidates who did not make the first debate stage, will also miss the second debate after failing to qualify.
Billionaire investor Tom Steyer and former Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak, two candidates who recently got into the presidential contest, also failed to qualify for the second round of debates.
What I expect from the Democratic presidential debates is this word vomit.

Each candidate will interrupt one another.
Each candidate will say something that's going to be a flat out lie.
Each candidate will say they're more prepared than Trump.
Each candidate will say, "As president, I will....."
CNN will take a shot at Fox News or other networks.
CNN will have a plant question. Some progressive or conservative agitator will pick up on it.
Tim Ryan, Steve Bullock, John Delaney, John Hickenlooper and Marianne Williamson gets little talk time.
Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren will take the gloves off.
Pete Buttgieg will be grilled about the South Bend tornado and police shooting of a Black man.
Beto O'Rourke will be grilled about immigration detention centers and Texas no longer loving him.
Amy Klobucher will be grilled about Al Franken and Kirsten Gillibrand's feud.
Fox News hosts Sean "Softball" Hannity will probably find some stupid way to troll it.
MSNBC will cover the debate aftermath and Trump's racist remarks towards people of color.
Expect agitators to say this is a "make or break" moment for the Democratic candidates.
Trolls will be on Twitter tonight "fact-checking" the candidates.
Politifact, The Washington Post, Snoopes, Factcheck.org and RealClearPolitics will do official fact checks on the candidates.
Trump will post remarks on the debate.
So here you go. Watch the debate on CNN and it should be an open livestream.
If CNN does play through YouTube or Twitter I will update this.
