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.

This should be quite a show. Perhaps they could get Candice Bergan to MC it.
They’ll all try to out-leftist each other.

Perhaps. More likely the questions will be something like:
1. Tell us how bad Donald Trump is.
2. Once you beat Donald Trump, can we marry our goldfish?
3. Trump is bad. We all know that. Can you beat him, really?
4. Which of the candidates among you is less orange?
5. You’re straight, white and male... what business do you have running in this primary, anyway?
6. Tell us again how bad Donald Trump is.
So running polls are now legitimate campaign costs?
Do all these Dems really think they have a chance to win, or is all that Campaign Cash just to lucrative to pass up?
Theft is a politicians bread and butter...
But remember...... Gillabrand is a blonde
Not a real Regressive Socialist ‘RAT debate unless Vermin Supreme (boot on head) and the “Rent’s Too Damn High!” Guy are allowed to participate.
How many in the first tier debate? Are we going to see candidates not getting to answer again?
All of them..
“De Blasio, Gillibrand might just squeak into first Democratic presidential debate”
Good! Maybe these assholes will enlighten some of the dumb American electorate (democRATS)
WONDER, JOY AND GLORY!!! The more DemonShit insanity, the better.
Who is going to screw up the courage to check?
Nope
I would laugh if Harris, Beto or Biden don’t get picked. They are doing a lottery so a few even with getting requirements met won’t make the stage. And normally I’d say they’d rig it but they are doing it on video. This might be good.
5 is hilarious.
Our slate in 2016 went on to make big bucks. I am sure all these guys will too.
Falstaff and Mistress Page?
It’s not being done this way. There are 22 right now eligible for the debate. They are having 10-person debates each night. They will randomly pick people from a hat. 2 will not make it onto the stage but it could be anyone of them that doesn’t get their name picked. They don’t want a kiddy table like we did.
Does anyone know how long these "debates" will last? With that many Leftists babbling on, I don't think 48 hours will cover it.
All the tables are kiddy tables
The debates will be a talking points fiasco. A plethora of unending sound bites
The first debate will be so boring that no one will tune for the second
Let’s hope so! Gilly will have to answer for her legal work for NXIVM and the other jerk will make a fool of himself. I hope this doesn’t mean Spartacus is out. He might show up in a gladiator out fit.
