Another DNC debate — this time in Houston — tonight. Not sure my mind has been sufficiently strengthened to survive this performance again…
The debate will be… not outside https://t.co/VUVE0klQrb

The important question, IMO, is which Repub grifter(s) are getting the rakeoff on this stunt? Per ABC:
… President Donald Trump’s campaign intends to counter-program the Democratic primary debate hosted by ABC News and Univision with an ad blitz that includes two full-page newspaper ads and flying a massive banner in the air that blasts socialism just before candidates take the stage.
“Socialism will kill Houston’s economy!” the ad reads, along with a number to text, according to a rendering provided to ABC News by a Trump campaign official.
The campaign is spending around $7,500 for the flight and production of the ad, which is scheduled to fly from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. local time — an hour before Democrats are set to square-off in their first one-night debate this cycle…
Speaking of dumb stunts, and the Media Village Idiots who love them:

If your mind immediately goes to full-frontal strip-tease, too late — a Libertarian candidate already tried that back in 2016. (He didn’t win, either.)

Still, keeping it positive:
Here's a shocker for you:
In CNN's polling going back to 2003, Americans have never, at any point, in any election cycle, been more enthusiastic about voting than they are today… 13 months before the 2020 election.https://t.co/dTyhQKJ8bN pic.twitter.com/1HrJwHvKdU
