There seems to be a movement for him to do so. He's promised to savage Donald Trump and lead the crowd in chants of "Loser!, Loser!".

If he heels like a dog and gives a high energy speech smashing Trump, we can let him in.

Otherwise...OUT! OUT! OUT!

Warren is likely the only Dem capable of ripping into Trump the way Christie did to Clinton.
Cenk would be a welcome change to the typical tripe pseudo-cleverness of past DNCs.

Isn't this guy the hard leftie who doesn't believe in the Armenian Genocide? If it is, that's a no.

If he gives a strong endorsement of Clinton too and agrees the Armenian genocide occurs now, then yes sure.

Why the hell would Hillary invite the man responsible for poisoning tens of thousands of young minds against her?  Cenk in his heyday was even more effective than H.A. Goodman at propagating conspiracy theories and outright lies about Clinton, and the others on his channel were responsible for helping create the cynical, hateful, dangerous attitude the Bernie crowd fell under.  His co-stars are all in for Jill Stein, if he can't even convince them then he's not going to convince the BernieOrBusters.  Plus his "endorsement" of Hillary is basically "Yes, Hillary is awful, awful, awful, I hate her and her policies will do tremendous damage to the world, but hey she's not Trump and third parties can't win so sometimes you just have to go with the lesser of two evils and yes she is evil"

I am pretty sure that he has clarified that he believes the Armenian Genocide happened. He has changed a lot since the mid-90s.

Any Cenk DNC speech would be along the lines of what so many Republicans are doing. "I don't agree with everything this candidate believes in, but we agree on this, and this, and this, and this, and the other candidate is a disaster. This is why we need to elect _______." I have a feeling that the Democrats will be able to do better than that, although I do think that he would be a good speaker otherwise.

Oh god please no.

So, what your saying is, "no, of course not".

I'd rather have The Young Turks being represented by Ismail Enver Pasha.

Considering over the past year he's done the Republicans' dirty work with endless hatchet jobs against Hillary to the point where a significant portion of his audience are now racist right wingers that tuned in solely for the anti-Hillary content, I kind of doubt it.

Who would invite that clown?

He and his crew are the most embarrassing premature group of radical nuts just about all of us have ever heard. If TYT is journalism, Fox News is the journalism gold-standard.

I feel like if he just went hard negative on Trump and didn't focus on Hillary, his speech wouldn't be a complete disaster, but I doubt Hillary will let him.

Let me answer your question with a question:  Will everybody at the controls in Clinton World simultaneously get hammered drunk and pick up a phone?

No, the DNC has actually people to invite, unlike the Republicans.
