Debate Begins Tonight

The second round of 'debate' for the 20 Democrats seeking their party's nomination begins tonight in Detroit, and the second half is tomorrow night. The organizer held a drawing to establish the card of 10 for each night, tonight's big guns are Sanders and Harris, plus maybe Buttigieg.

Luck of the draw, all of tonight's participants are white. All 4-5 of those with some claim to being "of color" are on tomorrow's card. How's that for irony in a party which sees people "of color" as its primary constituency. Will anyone mention this irony? Probably not.

As with the first set of debates, I will not force myself to watch this boring TV. I'll let those being paid to watch do the suffering. I'll post about the reactions later.
