Tulsi Gabbard hit Kamala Harris where it hurt during the second Democratic primary debate. John Delaney was given more than 10 minutes to go head-to-head with the liberal front-runners. And Marianne Williamson was the most searched for candidate on Google during and after the debate. But none of these lower-tier candidates have anything to show for their moments in the spotlight.
A new Quinnipiac poll shows that the candidates who needed the debates the most benefited the least. Gabbard remains at 1%, while Delaney and Williamson sit at 0%.
On the other hand, Democratic front-runner Joe Biden maintains his lead at 32%, down 2 points from before the debate. Elizabeth Warren surged, now at 21% after gaining 6 points. Harris, however, tanked. She is now at 7% after losing 5 points.

Some of those candidates do not expect to be serious candidates. They are running because :
1. The campaign increases their name recognition and national profile.
2. Related to that, when they write their books, their bigger name recognition will translate into higher sales.
3. Some hope to be chosen to eventually work as a talking head analyst on MSNBC.
4. Some hope to be chosen as the VP running mate.
5. Some hope to run for president in the future, and are getting their feet wet this time around.
Welcome to Loserville. Population: Democrats. Har!
I think Smokey Robinson did a song about them: The Tiers of a Clown.
Biden is winning this debate of fools going away. The other clowns are up there just for the dance and will all go home losers. I don’t think Biden will pick any of the women on stage for VP, but he will pick a woman.
If the lesser candidates don’t get the VP nod, a Cabinet position may be offered. Case in point: Rick Perry early 2016 dropout and later Secretary of Energy.
They’re in it for the buffet
Lower tier are fundraising for other interests and stirring the pot.
It’s a scam. It’s all for show and slush fund campaign money.
They know they never had a chance.
A Democrat politician declares a run for the Presidency so he/she can receive their political reward bribe money in the form of campaign contributions.
They know they don’t have a chance.
Steve Bullock?
Really? He knows he doesn’t have a chance.
He just takes his political bribe payments reward, I mean campaign contributions, and builds a lakefront mansion next to the previous Democrat Governor Of Montana, Brian Schweitzer.
You remember Brian.
He’s the guy who made sure we got Obamacare.
He ran for President, too.
The Dems pack remind me of the Greek Chorus.. nothing but moans, wails, contorted faces.. priceless.
