Democrats Swoop In To Take The NBC Debate Slot Republicans Gave Up After CNBC Moderator Tantrum

Hunter wrote on Friday about the RNC canceling their February debate on NBC, because CNBC's moderators we're too mean. Looks like the Democrats are seizing the opportunity to reach more Spanish-speaking folks.

According to Greg Sargent at WaPo: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2015/11/02/morning-plum-republicans-shoot-themselves-in-foot-with-latinos-again/

The Spanish-language network Telemundo is in talks with the Democratic National Committee about possibly scheduling a new candidate forum with the Dem presidential candidates, after the Republican National Committee canceled its debate on NBC News and the NBC-owned Telemundo to protest CNBC’s handling of last week’s gathering, sources familiar with ongoing discussions tell me.
If this comes to fruition, Democrats would effectively be moving into the breach created by the RNC’s decision. It would mean Democrats end up holding two debate-style events on Spanish-language networks, since they are already set to hold a Univision debate in March

Gee, I hope the GOP doesn't mind that we're going to utilize this chance to reach a large, quickly-growing voting group.
Where's my popcorn?
