Just Peachy!

Debate night.
Tonight is another debate. While America is focused on the impeachment of Donald J. Trump, the Democrats running for president are not getting attention. Matter of fact, Joe Biden is the only candidate getting attention. The attention is based on false information that led to Trump being the focus of an impeachment inquiry. Trump continues to deny he tried to pressure Ukraine to dig dirt on Biden. But these latest rounds of the inquiry have been all but damaging to credibility of Trump.

Some are likely implicated in this scandal.

In Atlanta, the ladies of NBC News and MSNBC will host this debate.

NBC News, MSNBC and The Washington Post will host the debate at Tyler Perry Studios formerly Fort McPherson. The moderators who will be on the debate stage include:

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. Maddow also has a role on The CW's Batwoman.
NBC News chief foreign affairs reporter/MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell
NBC News White House correspondent Kristen Welker
Washington Post White House reporter Ashley Parker.

Who will win tonight's debate? (Expect trolls to offer the dumbest responses and answers. This is an unscientific poll. We expect trolls here).

Kamala Harris
Pete Buttigieg
Elizabeth Warren
Joe Biden
Bernie Sanders
Tulsi Gabbard
Tom Steyer
Andrew Yang
Cory Booker
Amy Klobuchar
Donald Trump
Other
Please Specify:

Ten candidates will appear on the stage.

Former vice president Joe Biden is struggling. He hasn't fought hard enough to stop Trump's repetitive attacks on him and his son. The far-white have constantly demonized Biden over Ukraine despite the evidence of no wrongdoing. The far-white agitators like John Solomon, Sean "Softball" Hannity and old fart Rush Limbaugh have taken a toll on Biden. Folks who support Trump already made their minds up. Biden is already weakened by the attacks. The junk food media have focused on Biden's readiness and his embarrassing gaffes. The far-white have targeted Biden over his inappropriate touching in the past months. Biden will support the impeachment inquiry, defend the attacks on Barack Obama's legacy, criticize fellow Democrats who see him as too old and slam Fox News for running fake stories about his son. This is Biden's third run for president. Some will attack him for being a perennial candidate.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), the controversial lawmaker who made the news for her attacks on former 2016 nominee Hillary Clinton. Gabbard announced that she will no longer run for her Congressional seat has been a focus of many progressives who believe she's a trojan horse. Gabbard appeared on Tucker Carlson, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Breitbart instead of progressive agitators. Gabbard is considered a favorite among the far-white, Russian trolls and anti-progressive elite.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), the African American lawmaker is still struggling to stay in this race. He barely made it to the stage. He is considered a progressive but a candidate who isn't favored among white Democrats. His attacks on Joe Biden over his past votes were the most memorable of his campaign. He's struggling to stay relevant in a race that seems to be edging towards candidates with more experience.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the former 2016 Democratic candidate is either placed third or fourth in this race. He still has a strong backing among progressives. He won the endorsements of three of the progressive lawmakers who call themselves the Squad. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) have put a lot of support on a candidate who still struggles to gain support from Democrats who still believe he's the reason to why Clinton lost her election. Sanders who suffered a mild heart attack has made a "comeback." He is still struggling to pick up the support of many Democrats. Gabbard who previously endorsed him will not endorse candidates if she is not the nominee.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is still in the race. The progressive lawmaker has already made herself an enemy of progressives billionaires. She has targeted Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Oracle. Warren who struggles to make a message on how to win the middle class has been a target of many of the candidates running. She will likely be a target of attack. Warren who is seen mostly as the establishment's choice will be a target of Trump. The imbecile has been calling her Pocahontas constantly because of her statements of having Native American heritage.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) is need of a breakthrough. Her campaign had to cut staff in key states and she's not getting much attention post the departure of Beto O'Rourke. I still believe that O'Rourke, Harris and Booker went in too early and it cost them dearly. Harris still has an opportunity to shine in this race. However, this is could be her final appearance on the debate stage. Harris' history on criminal justice is going to be a topic of discussion.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) is still in the race. She is considered an establishment figure. She supports the Israeli government's hostile takeover of the West Bank and starvation of the Gaza Strip. Klobuchar still considered a progressive has been focusing on health care, farmer's assistance and the trade war that Trump started.

Andrew Yang, the millionaire investor is still a formidable candidate. Yang who has polled between 5% and 7% in most national polls have been focusing on how to force the Democrats into discussion about automation. Many jobs are leaving or being changed to automation. Yang has told stories about how cashier jobs are being replaced by computers. He said that Democrats have to been more focused on winning the young voters who may see Trump as the only choice if they pick an older candidate.

South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg is rising in the polls. So far he will have a target on his back. He's from Indiana, he's a moderate, he understands the rust belt and he's openly gay. The focus of Buttigieg will reside on his leadership as mayor. The talk about the South Bend Police shooting an unarmed Black resident still exist and many of his constituents aren't keen on him running for president. Buttigieg will dismiss the concerns. He will focus on veterans, farm aid, reclaiming the rust belt back and transportation. Buttigieg is a U.S. military veteran and is either placed top tier status. Right now, he's tied with Warren and Sanders in most recent polls.

Tom Steyer is the billionaire who wants the Democrats to fight against Trump. He entered the race recently and has been polled between 3% and 5% in national polls. He is the founding members of the Impeach 45 movement. As a lifelong progressive, Steyer wants a fair tax rate for all Americans. He wants to self-fund his campaign. However it's unlikely because of FEC rules. Steyer will likely go after Warren for her remarks on taxing the hell out of billionaires. He will likely go after Gabbard for going to far-white outlets. He will make noise if the ladies give him an opportunity to shine. Steyer is likely going to not the only billionaire in this race.

Who won't be on stage tonight.

Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro. He will protest the debate and urge supporters to help him qualify for the next debate in December.

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) the longshot Colorado senator who is seen as a potential vice presidential candidate is hoping to keep focus on the Midwest and winning back Democrats who voted for Trump.

Gov. Steve Bullock of Montana is a conservative Democrat. He wants Democrats to move to the middle to win states like Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. With Ohio and Florida out of the running, Bullock warns Democrats to stop rushing to the left. He believes that Fox News is dividing America.

Marianne Williamson had a couple of rounds on stage but her chances are all but dimmed. She is an award winning writer and novelist. Her latest comments are beyond bizarre. She claims that she's a "pretty straight-line progressive" and hopes that Democrats will support her longshot bid.

Former Rep. John Delaney of Maryland is also a longshot candidate. He is considered a moderate on most levels. He has been critical of Democrats moving too far to the left on issues.

Others who entered the race too late.

Former governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts entered the race shortly after Beto O'Rourke dropped out. He is hoping to retain the support of Obama's former advisers to help him build a strong campaign.

Former Rep. Joe Sestak of Pennsylvania is in the race as well. He is a long shot candidate who lost to Pat Toomey in a close U.S. senate race. He is hinting to run for another shot against Toomey in 2022.

Who have dropped out the race include

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Miramar, Florida mayor Wayne Messam, Former Alaskan senator Mike Gravel, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), Former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper, Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), New York City mayor Bill De Blasio, Washington governor Jay Inslee and Richard Ojeda.

Considerable candidate running include former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. The former Republican mayor turned independent is considering a run for president as a Democrat.
