Why the F do the dems decide to go up against "the apprentice" in debate

[Bombtrack]

This isn't the first time they've decided to go up against some hit. Didn't they do a debate against one of the ALCS games ?

1. What the F is "the apprentice"

and why would it detract from the debate?

2. It was CNN's decision. n/t

3. Side note -

I was reading that Donald Trump is an excellent economic indicator. When he becomes popular and high profile, we're at a top. It's worked several times now....

4. What are you talking about?

5. I'm thinking that those into

reality shows (especially one starring that evil Trump :puke:) probably wouldn't be interested in the debates anyway. Now if the debates were up against "The Simpsons" that might be a different story....

6. FYI, Trump is supporting Kerry. Said so on Imus.

9. I still think he's yucky

God, that hair. Plus the fact that he dumps women as soon as they turn 30. What a pig. I haven't watched the show, but why do I think a girl with big boobs will win?

7. The apprentice isn't something just for people into reality shows

I dislike all reality shows and I watch the apprentice. For people who are interested in the bussiness world, such as alot of the people I go to college with it's a popular show

8. agreed--I usually hate reality shows..but

I watch the apprentice.

Of course the debate comes first though.:)
