"The doubling of the thresholds comes as some of the White House hopefuls still gunning to make the first and second rounds of debates – being held in late June and late July – are criticizing the DNC’s mandates to make the debate stage. They say it’s not the national party committee’s job to be “winnowing the field” so early in the race."

We already have the best possible format - the TV show “The Apprentice” where candidates are split into two teams and made to do some sort of demeaning task. The side that performs the best gets a night together in a suite while the losing team has to go into the boardroom where a panel (DNC can determine who’s on the panel - Hillary, Obama, Tom Perez, Soros, Brazile) decides which one will be “fired” and forced to drop out of the campaign. Maybe have internet “fan voting” decide who goes.

Anyway, it would be riveting tv for political junkies, would make sure every candidate had their moment in the limelight and we could see how these folks functioned in a team setting. Plenty of weeks before the convention to pull this off. C’mon CNN - put something worthwhile on.

I thought the Democrat Party was all-inclusive.

Didn’t the DNC “fix” the nomination process last year and cut the knees from Bernie? They’ll do it again as they are corrupt, even for their own process.

I can even make the first “teams” - There is “straight white men” (12) and the “diversity team” (11).

The Super delegates will elect Biden in the second round. The rest is just bullschit.

I think putting them all on a Japanese-style game show would be fun.

The primary purpose of the DNC imposing a threshold is to make sure Tulsi Gabbard gets no screen time.

And for the last debate...

“Everyone who hasn’t been the subject of a pedo meme, and all those not named Joe Biden.”

Bernie should not be able to run as a Dem. If you want to be an “independent” then be one. If he is not a party member they should cut him at the knees.
