That would be awesome

MeetThePress Good stay home Trump2020

MeetThePress If the networks want to increase their ratings, they will manufacture labor disputes prior to all future Democrat debates! KAG2020

There are no contenders, thus the attempt at impeachment! FOX40 POTUS investigate the Bidens!

MeetThePress California will simply pass a law making participation mandatory then they will all shrug and say oh well if it is the law it is the law. , or it’s already written into candidate contracts as per the state of California. And they will participate. Like it or not..

MeetThePress lol, and i think the original venue was moved over the same reason! Frankenstein always returns to the castle, and destroys its creator.

Is that all it takes to keep these morons off the stage. I support continued labor strikes until November 2020.

I'd rather watch reruns of I Love Lucy anyway

Yeah!!!!!

So far they have been useless so a cancel is a good idea.

Oh no....please don’t. 🙄

UNIONS MATTER

i think this is going be a war

Honor the picket and workers, but insist that DNC move the debate to another venue if Loyala Marymount Uni doesn't settle with union. The people need to hear from BernieSanders ewarren and if needed JoeBiden PeteButtigieg and ...(can't remember rest of low-ranking oddballs)?

Like a tree falling in the forest

Why have a debate in December anyway? Doesn't make a bit of sense.

Лошади легче

Is that all they do? Throw temper tantrums about stuff they dont like! WalkAwayFromDemocratSocialists

It's obvious who stands up for workers and who doesn't.

Democrat candidates wait it out.

Good idea since most are paying attention to the sub-par fields anyway.

Boo hoo

Just change the venue. Certainly it's not the only place to hold the debate. They should not cross the picket line, just move it elsewhere.

Translation.....we really have nothing worth saying.....

Such rebellious candidates. This is the problem with America. The hippies of the 60’s. Now they want to be President but they need to stop and protest and boycott. Time out ! Let them go to their environment for the moment. Debate can wait.

😂😂😂

Can we start a Gofundme acct to help the strikers feel adequately compensated to strike until say, November anythingth 2020?

I heard Hunter Biden was working the picket line for 50k/month even though he’s never been in a Union.

Your sponsors thank you. If you have any news viewers left, they thank you. I personally couldn’t care less.

and unions are what percent of the working public? pathetic views by these candidates

🤣🤣🤣 Anything to get out of it 🤣🤣🤣 I'm sure they dread it.

Who cares?

Actually that sounds like a win... we dont have to watch that ...

Do nothing Dems can’t even organise their own debates. I can hear it now.

My god are they idiots

Sure that will win you the votes...🤣🤣🤣 not

Then it should be the best debate so far

Nobody wants to watch it anyway!

Nobody wants to hear their lies anyway!

3 old White Democrat front runners...

DNC: 'Tom Perez would absolutely not cross a picket line and would never expect our candidates to either. We are working with all stakeholders to find an acceptable resolution that meets their needs and is consistent with our values and will enable us to proceed as scheduled...'

Good need about6 to drop out

Not even the ENEMYOFTHESTATE fake news MSM SMOCKINGBIRDS can help these 7 sad sack socialists. WEaretheNEWSNOW! POTUS realDonaldTrump WHOisQuE? theWORLDisWATCHING

Nobody cares. Trump 2020.

The debates weren't worth watching so no big deal.

This is Socialism. Bringing things to a halt.
