Former Governor John Hickenlooper will be required to use his brain at the second Democratic debate, tonight.
CNN announced several changes to the structure for the second debate. These changes include asking no questions requiring hand-raising, and no yes or no answers. On top of that, candidates will need to make an opening statement in addition to the closing statement in the first debate.
Hickenlooper’s lackluster performance during the first Democratic debate left his floundering campaign in turmoil. But, Hickenlooper just won’t quit.
The presidential hopeful barely met requirements for the second debate, and he will need a strong performance tonight if his campaign is to survive.
After flip-flopping and failing to make himself a compelling “moderate” candidate, we do not expect the Hickenlooper campaign to last long after 10 pm EST, tonight.
So, who will Hickenlooper share the stage with tonight?
Candidates will appear onstage from left to right
Marianne Williamson
Tim Ryan
Amy Klobuchar
Pete Buttigieg
Bernie Sanders
Elizabeth Warren
Beto O’Rourke
John Hickenlooper
John Delaney
Steve Bullock
CNN’s Dana Bash, Don Lemon, and Jake Tapper will moderate the debate. It begins at 8 pm EST.
We expect Hickenlooper will do his best to paint himself as a moderate candidate in the increasingly radicalized Democratic Party. We also expect him to fail miserably.
So, grab some popcorn, and prepare to witness one of the funniest events of the year!
Enjoy the debate, and please share!

Hickenlooper, doesn’t have a brain to use.
