De Blasio, Gillibrand might just squeak into first Democratic presidential debate
NY Post ^ | 6/07/19

Mayor Bill de Blasio and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand appear to have squeaked in to participate in the first Democratic presidential primary debates later this month.

A Politico analysis has the pair of New York pols crossing the threshold to get two of 20 coveted spots at the June 26-27 debates in Miami, hosted by NBC News.

To qualify, the Democratic National Committee is requiring that candidates earn 1% in at least three polls or get donations from 65,000, with 200 in 20 different states.

Gillibrand is polling at an average of 1.3% and de Blasio at 1%, the analysis showed.

7. Is Trump worse than the other guy said?
8. Is it possible Trump kidnapped the Lindbergh baby?
9. Is it True Trump is a clone of a Nazi....
10. Should Trump just pay for everything?

The list is endless.

Didn’t think of that. You are right all will be kiddy tables. Oh I was hoping fireworks. These guys are nasty. No way will they continue the kumbuya nonsense.

Stop a minute and consider the poor candidate soul, Mr 20 on the stage, the last to be called on. What can he possibly say as an original sound bite. What talking point can he dredge up that is not previously used?

Woe is him

Depending on how this shakes out, I would easily be willing to send $1 to as many marginal candidates as necessary just to make the 2nd and 3rd debates crowded.

We need to keep watching this and get our credit cards ready...

They are having 10-person debates each night.

Then I won't be watching; it's rigged.

When John Delaney politely suggested at the Democrat pow-wow in California that socialism is not the way to win the general election, he was booed off the stage.

Rather pathetic when you poll at 1% and the media still thinks you stand a chance.

The first debate will be so boring that no one will tune for the second

I'll watch a few minutes of them trying to outdo each other going left, just for the entertainment factor - bound to be better than the comic strips, odder characters just for one example.
