SacBee: All the 2020 candidates who qualified for the next Democratic presidential debate have vowed to bow out of the event because they don’t want to cross a picket line to get there.
Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Andrew Yang, Amy Klobuchar and Tom Steyer announced on Friday that they would pull out of the Dec. 19 Democratic debate in Los Angeles if a local labor union dispute can’t get resolved.
The Democratic National Committee decided last month that it would move the debate from UCLA to Loyola Marymount University following a conflict between UCLA and AFSCME Local 3299.
Now, however, the DNC finds itself in the crosshairs of another dispute. UNITE HERE Local 11, which represents 150 workers who prepare and serve meals for Loyola Marymount students, said it would boycott the next presidential debate after negotiations broke down with Sodexo, the university’s food services subcontractor. read more
So was I!
They just don’t want all of the Homeless camping out in the audience area & interrupting their debate no matter which city they hold it in Commiefornia,
Looks like it may be the first Democratic debate this year where the clear winner isn’t Donald Trump.
The secondary cause is they do not want an informed electorate to know what losers they all are.
It’s like the candidates don’t want to debate, because they know they’re just a warmup act. Or like somebody is throwing a wrench into the whole debate process, so she can jump in the race with her new face after all further debates are canceled.
Cory Booker is bowing out of the debate because of the flu…..In actuality, he and Kamala are going door to door looking for pop bottles….
Think anybody will notice?
Ten Democrat candidates showed up and the stage was still empty!
An empty Democrat clown car showed up outside the debate venue and ten Democrat clowns got out!
YEA!
and Tom Steyer,,, The most worthless of all.
Shame when I have less respect for non-politicians,,,
Make each one off them have sex with one of the bums infesting the ity.
The TV version of Magatha Christie’s And Then There Were None is running out of shot locations before it even runs out of little clowns.
@ extirpates: I’m guessing that’s their primary, not their secondary reason.
What if they replace the union picketers with “differently documented”, newer, better picketers? It’d be OK, then? Wouldn’t it?
The more the Dem candidates are exposed, the worse it gets for them. The next “debate” will be held in a dark sound-proof room.
Commies, queers, and
sluts. What could possibly go wrong?Too bad their collective fathers didn’t pull out…in time, that is.
