The Democrats' debates are coming up shortly. Since MSNBC/NBC is providing the moderators, there's a real question which subjects will get covered. Most likely Donna Brazille or her successor is busy feeding the topics or perhaps even the questions themselves to the favored candidates. In order to help those Democrats who don't get the list ahead of time, here's a list of subjects together with the odds of their being raised:
1. Confronting the Chinese about their theft of intellectual property and their use of unfair trade practices. -- Odds of it being raised: 2%
2. Stopping the flow of illegal aliens (ok, they can call them undocumented immigrants) into the USA. -- Odds of it being raised: 1% Note: this is not the same as discussions condemning any efforts made by President Trump in this area.
3. Considering the highly negative effect that raising taxes would have on the economy. -- Odd: 0.00001%
4. Condemnation of white supremacy and the extremely tiny group of people who actually follow this hateful ideology. Odds: 80%
5. Discussion of the emoluments clause of the Constitution and whether or not it gets violated if a foreigner stays at a property owned by the Trump Organization. Odds: 50%
6. Whether it is appropriate for the President of the United States to use Twitter if that President's name starts with the letter "T". Odds: 95%
7. Whether or not Obamacare has flaws. Odds 20%
8. Whether or not a single payer, government run healthcare plan should be adopted. Odds 75%
9. Whether or not a single payer, government run healthcare plan would work. Odds 2%
10. Whether or not the USA can afford a single payer, government run healthcare plan. Odds 9%
11. Whether Barack Obama ought to get full credit for the defeat of ISIS and President Trump get no credit for the same thing. 50%
