With the 2020 election approaching, twenty-three Democratic candidates so far have entered the race in an attempt to beat the incumbent President Donald Trump next year. In preparation for this, the Democratic Party has scheduled its debates but with strict rules and Fox News being disallowed from holding any of the Democratic debates. With tough standards to meet, the Democrats have not given certain potential nominees the chance to discuss with their opponents.
After looking at the Democratic Party’s debate platform, the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) has chosen to give everyone a chance to present in front of their members for twenty-five minutes at five different locations. Questions have been chosen that will cover various important issues unlike the Democratic debates, which have been thought to be more on bashing President Trump. While the Democratic debates have had requirements to be involved, the AARP forums have only mandated that the candidates have a campaign presence in Iowa. The Democrats have also changed the way the caucus works. Instead of only being able to vote while present, voters will be able to vote from home through the phone. However, tele-caucusing voters will only count as ten percent of the results. I like how AARP is giving others the chance to speak. While the Democratic Party is not obligated to give everyone a voice, they should let the least popular Democratic candidates participate in the first debates to give them a chance before narrowing it down. I also think that a debate only bashing President Trump is superfluous and being neglectful having a broad variety of topics discussed. As far as the Iowa caucus change goes, giving tele-caucusing only ten percent worth isn’t truly representative of the population. If people don’t want the Iowa caucus experience ruined by everyone tele-caucusing, it shouldn’t exist. It’s just not fair to give people an unequal representation. The Democratic Party is going to have a ride as we approach the 2020 election, and preparation to attempt to prevent the President from reelection will start in 2019. To prepare for this, debates are happening to ineffectively bash President Trump, and the AARP is working to make a more rounded forum to make the candidates more open. The Democrats will work intensely to break turn eight years into four, and a lot of it starts in the debates. COMMITTING TO GOD’S GRACE AND LOVE, Jeremiah Yonemura

ABOUT JEREMIAHHello, I'm Jeremiah Yonemura. I grew up in a Christian home, but I never really came to know the Lord until I was twelve years old. As I've matured, the Lord has cut out my sinful habits. At this point, I am still learning (as we all should be), and I my experiences are testimonies that I can share with those who care to listen.
