Then just like the morons who wouldn’t vote for Hilary knowing who Trump was and what he represented, but voted for Stein, wrote in Bernie, or stayed home anyway...they’ll get what they deserve.

Each of the 16, varied and independent universities, new organizations, research organizations, and consulting firms who’s polls were approved by the DNC.

A guy reads one article by a guy who’s wild guess ends up being right, and he thinks he’s an expert on the electorate.

Dude...its called google . Its this website where you can type a question and it gives you an answer. In fact if you took the time to look instead of just asking me the same thing over and over again you’d realize that Delaney made it because if the 20 candidate cap and the tie-breaker rule (which is explained in one…

But if a group of people are to work together, all of them need to to have an equal voice for the group to be effective.

I’ve explained it 100 times. You just refuse to acknowledge there is one because it left a candidate with almost zero support on the debate stage.

You’re grasping at straws dude.  Just like with the moon landing there is no amount of evidence or documentation or whatever that will satisfy you.  No one is keeping these morons from running for President.  There is nothing wrong with the DNC having a threshold the candidates have to meet before they can be part of…

Finally ok. No one knows. THAT’s the problem. Are you ok with not knowing? I am not.

I was already aware. That’s why I said “if that’s the standard”. Don’t presume.

This would be a whole hell of a lot easier if you actually knew what you were talking about, and just didn’t blame it on the “establishment”. You didn’t need to both to qualify, but if you had both you were automatically in. If you only had one it had to be the polling. Not the individual donors. There is and was a…

I’ll repost so we’re clear:

These are literally the standards to make the first debate: receive donations from a minimum of 65,000 unique donors, with at least 200 unique donors per state in at least 20 states, and to attain 1% in 3 out of 16 different polls. And don’t put on your tinfoil hat and say “they didn’t even put him in some of the…

Well Delaney was recently a member of the House who decided not to run for re-election, and is a registered Democrat. Gravel hasn’t served in office since 1980, and he put on his tinfoil hat and switched to the libertarian party.  Maybe that has something to do with it?

FFS...the DNC like they do now. And if Gravel has so little support for the party’s nomination of the most powerful job in the world that some nameless corporate boogeyman can just decide he can’t be on their poll then he doesn’t have enough support to debate.

Lose the tinfoil hat. You should need more much more than that to take part in the party’s debate. Just because you don’t like that not anyone can just get themselves on the stage doesn’t mean its rigged.

Gee I dunno, maybe the party whose nomination (and the advantages that come with it) the candidates are vying for.

I don’t think three will go to the convention.  Two might, but the field will be down to those two prior IF it even comes to that, and because of the new rules superdelegates may not even come into play this time.

Umm...when I say raise the bar I mean raise the bar for everyone. Delaney shouldn’t have been up there along with about another 6 or 8 either.

She has less than 130,000 individual donors.  That’s next to nothing in the grand scheme of things.  The DNC didn’t have to set the bar so low.

Williamson has less than 130,ooo individual suppoters, and Gravel has less than 65,000. You could have the most democratized primary process in history, and include them in every poll, and have a publicly funded primary, and they still wouldn’t have a snowballs chance in hell of getting the nom.
