Report: Only Nine Democrat Candidates Are Qualified for Upcoming Debate
Breitbart ^ | 15 Aug 2019 | PENNY STARR

Posted on 08/15/2019 5:13:39 PM PDT by conservative98

According to its tally, the nine candidates who have secured a spot on the debate stage on Sept. 12 and perhaps Sept. 13 in Houston are: Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Beto O’Rourke, Amy Klobuchar, and Andrew Yang.

“Tom Steyer’s campaign announced Tuesday morning that it had hit the 130,000 donor mark,” the website reported. “He now needs just one qualifying poll to make the third debate.”

Julian Castro is also close to qualifying, just needing a 2 percent ranking in one more poll, FiveThirtyEight reported.

New Age guru and author Marianne Williamson and Washington Governor Jay Inslee have both reportedly surpassed the 100,000 donor mark but need 30,000 more donors to qualify for the debate, and neither has hit 2 percent in any of the approved polls.

For the rest of the candidates, it may be the end of the campaign trail because the don’t have the donors or the poll rankings necessary, including Kirsten Gillibrand, Michael Bennet, Steve Bullock, Bill de Blasio, John Delaney, Seth Moulton, Tim Ryan, John Hickenlooper, and Joe Sestak.

The word “qualified” must have gone as much of a transformation as the word “gay.” /humor

I take special delight he is still near zero percent. Maybe he will take the hint, he ain't that personable.

What's funnier, people giving money to a billionaire or Steyer thinking he can break into single digits on any reputable poll?

She is not on the list of CNN approved candidates, regardless of her polling and favorability

It’s a shame that Tulsi Gabbard is not on that list. She at least has some flashes of sanity.

Amazing that you can be a senator or governor of a major state or mayor of the country's largest city and still not be very ahead of somebody nobody's ever heard of named "Joe Sestak."

That the Dems are ignoring the at least sane John Delaney just tells you how hopeless the party has become.

You’re right, at least I’ve heard of and seen her, I couldn’t pick the last four out of a line-up and only really know Hickenlooper because of his anti-2A bills in CO.

They didn’t ask if they were qualified to be president, they asked if they were qualified to parrot DNC talking points while stepping it up a notch, and whether they can emphatically state orange man bad 100 different ways on command

Tulsi Gabbard should endorse Trump.

Why?

For spite.

And the good of the country.

I’m not really serious about that, because I wouldn’t want to elevate a Democrat any more than they are, but the Tim Poole type moderates would eat that up.
