The halfway mark of the Democratic debate calendar is coming up, and the sixth debate will likely feature the smallest stage yet.
New thresholds announced by the Democratic National Committee for the sixth debate — which will be hosted by POLITICO and PBS on Dec. 19 in Los Angeles — represent only a modest step up from the criteria for the next debate in November. But they could still seriously endanger the participation of all but the top five candidates..
To make the December debate, candidates must hit 4 percent support in at least four DNC-approved polls of primary voters nationally or in early-voting states (Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina) — or, instead, they can qualify by hitting 6 percent in two approved early-state polls. Candidates must also bring in donations from 200,000 unique donors, with a minimum of 800 donors in 20 states, territories or the District of Columbia.
The DNC has continuously stepped up the requirements to participate in successive debates throughout the year. The new thresholds will put pressure on Democratic candidates outside a top five — Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris — who have routinely polled above 4 percent in approved surveys so far.

“Only people we like!”
The ones who get the questions before the event
Well if they raised the intelligence requirement it’ll be a short debate. Comprised of crickets.
There were still 9 Republicans in the 2015 debates as late as Dec. 15
Dems are rigging theirs again
The debates will only get more boring and useless as time marches on. The American people have the number of these twisted Democrat Party, brothers and sisters. The TV viewer numbers have dropped from a high of 15,000,000 viewers down to 8,000,000 viewers this last Democrat debate which was a disaster anyway you looked at it. (Trump gets 24 million folks watching) Methinks, the Democrat field game is over...if not dying!!!
Now candidates must say on stage DEATH TO AMERICA
have they raised the threshhold from “Must hate Trump” to “Must really really hate Trump”?
Have they added a “must walk through Fort Marcy Park for Tulsi Gabbard?”
New requirement must have an IQ at least of 4.
Anything to keep Tulsi off the stage.
Let me guess, Gabby ain’t making the cut. Well played Democrats!
“Anything to keep Tulsi off the stage.”
Exactly what I was thinking.
Only the purest communists need apply... Exceptions only for felons, rapists, and other moslems...
You have to have a Communist Party Photo ID Card?
Well, that’s not fair. Some people can’t afford to go down to the local UPS Store and have their Picture taken.

Ability to fog a mirror and legal certification of “Trump Derangement Syndrome”
Are they still having debates?
“All eligible candidates must be Joe Biden...”
circus clown cars are sad everywhere ...
