Guess Who Plans To Live Tweet During Democratic Debates? It’s Going To Be Good…
With the first Democratic debates coming up next week, we have a lot to look forward to.
Of course, we can look forward to the candidates making themselves and each other look completely ridiculous, but there’s something else special this year.
President Trump said that he’s going to live tweet the debates!
According to the Wall Street Journal,
Mr. Trump, even from a remove, always promised to be the most important figure at the debate. Regardless of the specific debate questions, many Democratic voters will be listening for how each candidate plans to take down Mr. Trump.
Interacting in real time on Twitter would make Mr. Trump’s presence more tangible by directly inserting himself into the political conversation unfolding on stage. His posts could provide instant responses as well as insights into which attacks he feels most acutely.
This is definitely going to be a very entertaining year in politics.
Here are the candidates appearing over the two nights.
June 26
- Cory Booker, senator from New Jersey
- Julián Castro, former housing secretary
- Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York
- John Delaney, former representative from Maryland
- Tulsi Gabbard, representative from Hawaii

It’s too bad that the moderators for the debate are Lester Holt, Savannah Guthrie, Chuck Todd, Jose Diaz-Balart, and Rachel Maddow, because you know that all they’re going to do is throw a bunch of softball questions at the candidates.
