It’s official — Mayor Bill de Blasio will be on the sidelines for the third round of the Democratic presidential primary debates.

ABC — which is hosting the Sept. 12 affair in Houston — made the announcement on Thursday afternoon.

The network confirmed that 10 candidates — the smallest debate field yet of the 2020 campaign season — met the Democratic National Committee’s entry requirements for the next showdown.

The presidential hopefuls include: Former Vice President Joe Biden, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro, California Sen. Kamala Harris, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Entrepreneur Andrew Yang.

Keep on smiling, Mr.Nowhere Man. You are nowhere in the polls. What does that tell you?

What criteria did they use to pick these RATs? I can see the top 3 but Beto? Yang? Did they want the most outrageous liars?

The guy is a total dork. NYC better watch what they wish for because they will easily elect an AOC type as a mayor. I doubt NYC would ever elect another Rudy G.

She’s not smart. She’s a Democrat, which means she’s dishonest.

But she sure is good lookin’!

That’s OK. He doesn’t need a debate to make an ass of himself. He already does that every day.

The DNC has no other way to narrow the field, that badly needs narrowing. They need a champion with big numbers when 2020 begins. Since the candidates do not differ significantly in the 8 main election issues... and since the DNC will not allow them to criticize each other... there’s nothing left, other than debate admission criteria, and the candidates putting their feet in their mouths. All of the winner’s momentum will be entirely manufactured.

Tulsi is one of the few who seems quasi-rational, and not entirely anti-American... but she also takes huge gulps of the Leftist Kool Aid every time I seem to start having some respect for her.

Criteria were based on fundraising, having a minimal number of donors in a certain number of states, AND, getting some minimal.level.of support in a number of public opinion polls.

The question is, will this IDIOT keep campaigning anyway?

Answer: probably

Former Vice President Joe Biden, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro, California Sen. Kamala Harris, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Entrepreneur Andrew Yang.

Among the 1-percenters....
Beto is a joke, his departure will only help the Dems...
Castro is too reminiscent of the Communist name brand that he fervently supports. The DNC should celebrate when he leaves, too...
Klobuchar is getting no traction, has a history of abusive actions, and Minnesota doesn't bring much to the party....
Booker is a poison pill, but they desperately want another Obama, so the handsome black guy has to stick around for a bit...
Yang is a placeholder. He brings another category to the Special People Parade, and he is decently well-spoken, but he is also just not gaining at all...

Their race is still among the Top 5... Biden (falling), Bernie (stagnant), Warren (climbing, goodness known why), Kamala (who would do well if only she would shut up), and Mayor Pete (one of the least offensive in the field, but appallingly little experience and it is showing fast).

My bet at the moment is that Warren passes Bernie, Biden steps out after only 417 more verbal gaffes finally start the Late Night comedians in a feeding frenzy that they cannot ignore forever, and she chooses Mayo Pete (or Corey Booker?) as VP.... Bernie picks Kamala, and then it's a 2-way race for a few months.
