CNN finally revealed the lineups for its upcoming Democratic debates, but
the elaborate primetime special is already proving unpopular with voters.
Amid much fanfare, the left-leaning network revealed who would take to the
stage on which night later this month.
On Tuesday, July 30, the debate stage will have Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-
Vt., Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Beto
O'Rourke, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., former Gov. John Hickenlooper, D-
Colo., Gov. Steve Bullock, D-Mont., former Rep. John Delaney, D-Md., Rep.
Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, and spiritual guru Marianne Williamson.
And on Wednesday, July 31, the stage will include former Vice President
Joe Biden, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif, Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., former
HUD Secretary Julian Castro, Rep.Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, Sen. Kirsten
Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Gov. Jay Inslee, D-Wash., Sen. Michael Bennet, D-
Colo., New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, and businessman Andrew Yang.
But it was the network's way of getting to those final lists that had many
shaking their heads.
During the "draw" special, the 20 eligible candidates were split between
three tiers and then divided among the tiers. Three CNN hosts then
randomly selected each candidate and the night they'd appear on from two
sets of boxes, one that had the candidates and one that had the debate
nights.
This was meant to prevent an uneven spread of candidates, which took place
with the NBC debates when Warren was placed on one stage and four of the
other Democratic frontrunners, Biden, Sanders, Harris, and Buttigieg, were
placed on the other.
CNN, however, was brutally mocked by viewers. Slate writer Ashley Feinberg
said it the "stupidest thing I've ever seen" while others like journalist
Yashar Ali joked that he had accidentally switched to the "Game Show
Network."
Others called it "nonsense" and "idiotic".

on the one hand, candidates may do well — but on the other, maybe not?

This #CNNDraw is so idiotic. I mean, of course they were going to drag
this out, but this is like a really, really bad "As Seen on TV" ad

Warren will be sharing the stage for the first time with two other
frontrunners, Sanders and Buttigieg. Meanwhile, there will be high
anticipation of a potential slugfest between Harris and Biden after the
California senator went after the former vice president for his record on
busing.
This will mark Gov. Bullock's first presidential debate since he was
ineligible for NBC's debates last month. He will fill in the slot left
vacant by Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif, who has dropped out of the race.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
