Think about it, they are there to impress the Tea Party crowd. They each say stupid things every day, but tonight is going to be special. It has to be.

3. Since the teaparty crowd = Republicans
Basically CNN is having a Republican debate where they let the Republicans control their debate questions. So it is nothing more than pure propaganda. Yet the media lets them do it.

Why aren't the Dems smart enough to create their own fake party within the party so they can have debates framed along Democratic lines, instead of always having to debate Republican views of issues and mostly fake Republican issues.

5. how can you help but be like them
when you let them control the political discourse. We pick Democratic candidates based on how they survive conservative issued framed debates and discourse on conservative voting issues. What a surprise Dems generally end up with moderate conservative national candidates. It's more obvious when only they are debating each other, but since Dems don't control their debate material as Bernie Sanders says, most American debates are framed left of center because Dems are poor at controlling political discourse.

Learn to control political discourse or spend another generation debating gay marriage, abortion and a bunch of other crap while the rich rob the country blind.
