I see NBC rounded up the usual suspect to moderate.

This could be funny.  5 massive egos moderating how-ever-many other massive egos.

Maybe even enough I could tune in to see whether the moderators or the debaters do more grandstanding.

That was my first thought.  NBC tries to thin the Clown Car for the "debate," then packs five more clowns in the car.

Are you assuming goose genders are binary?  Shame!

This will be "Must Miss Tv."  Thank God for Amazon Prime, Netflix or whatever other entertainment I can find.

Found it interesting that 3 of the 5 (the latter) lean extremely left. Holt less so, and I am not sure about Guthrie.  (Her?...A ditzy empty head is my best guess).

This doesn't bode well for Slow Joe.
