MAKE IT DELANEY/WILLIAMSON and I would consider it.
MY REACTION TO TONIGHT'S DEMOCRAT DEBATE:

They're nuts! Flaming lunatics. Except possibly John Delaney and Steve Bullock, who both steered clear of batshit crazy. Delaney in particular could pass the sane test if he makes it to the 2020 election. Marianne Williamson was 'loveable' (as usual) and somewhat sensible in that she was the only one to point out that the others at the podiums were in fact batshit crazy.

Stephen Green has his summary of their closing statements.
THE DEMOCRATIC OBSESSION WITH RACISM won’t win them minority votes. "Fixated on showing they are morally superior, they swing so far to make their case that they seem to be on another planet. "
WHY ENGLAND HAS BORIS JOHNSON AND THE U.S. HAS DONALD TRUMP: "The governed no longer consent to the globalist erasure of their national identity.”
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Woke racism.

The only difference between ordinary racism and woke racism is that woke racism is virtuous. Read it all.
UNDER COLOR OF LAW: the Antifa antidote.

And while we're at it, bring back debtor's prison; let the 'convictee pay off his/her/its fine at, say, $10/day in jail. (Yes, I know it costs more than $10/day to keep someone in jail, but that's one of the few things I'd be willing to pay higher taxes for.)

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS MATH-EDUCATION PROFESSOR: ‘Mathematics Itself Operates as Whiteness’.
A math-education professor at the University of Illinois wrote about some of the more racist aspects of math in a new anthology for teachers, arguing that “mathematics itself operates as Whiteness.”

“Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as White,” Rochelle Gutierrez wrote, according to an article in Campus Reform.

Confused? Think that math is just math? Well, you’re wrong; math might as well be called “white math,” because as Gutierrez explained, “curricula emphasizing terms like Pythagorean theorem and pi perpetuate a perception that mathematics was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans.”

As further evidence of her argument, Gutierrez added that more white than nonwhite people are math professors and that math professors often benefit from “unearned privilege” — getting more grants and more respect than other professors — just because they are math professors and not professors in another academic field.

“Are we really that smart just because we do mathematics?” she asked.
As an answer to that question, I'm reminded of one of my engineering professors who was claimed to have said that two of his students dropped out of the College of Engineering, transferred to the College of Education, and raised the average IQ's of both colleges.
