"The CNN Presidential Debate will air live on CNN, CNN International and CNN en Español, and via streaming on Max for subscribers and without a cable login on CNN.com. CNN will make the debate available to simulcast on additional broadcast and cable news networks.
You can also follow CNN’s live debate coverage on CNN.com, which will include analysis and fact checking."
"According to parameters set by CNN in May, all participating debaters had to appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency and receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.
Polls that meet those standards are those sponsored by CNN, ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, Marquette University Law School, Monmouth University, NBC News, The New York Times/Siena College, NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist College, Quinnipiac University, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post."
Edit And that’s it! Thanks for watching everyone!
tl;dw:
Consensus is Trump didn’t so much as beat Biden as Biden beat himself.
The real loser is CNN who failed to fact check anyone, and there were obvious fact checks on both sides.
What? Bernie participated in the primary and got half the number of votes that Biden did. Biden won greater than 50% of the votes (not just the delegates).
Why would Bernie have advanced as the candidate?
. . . ‘Cause.
You forgot how Obama called everyone except Elizabeth to the right of Bernie and got them to drop out after it was clear Bernie was winning state after state. On the other hand Elizabeth Warren continued to split the vote with Bernie. The conservative dem vote consolidated around Biden only after the primary was well underway, and it was clear Bernie was winning. Then out of the blue Obama convinced Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg to drop out. The billionaire-owned TV media did not even report properly in real time on Bernie’s wins either, as they were shitting bricks.
