Tom Steyer Qualifies for October Debates, Bringing Field to 11
NY Times ^ | September 9, 2019 | Matt Stevens

Posted on 09/09/2019 6:09:49 AM PDT by C19fan

Tom Steyer, the billionaire and former hedge fund investor turned impeachment activist, became the 11th Democratic presidential candidate to qualify for the October debates on Sunday after a new poll showed him with 2 percent support in Nevada.

To make the cut, candidates must procure donations from 130,000 people and earn 2 percent support in four qualifying polls. Mr. Steyer fell one poll short of qualifying for the third Democratic debate in Houston this week. But the Democratic National Committee’s rules allow polls to carry over and count toward qualification for the fourth set of debates.

With three qualifying polls already under his belt and the fourth published Sunday, Mr. Steyer has now secured a spot in the debates next month, scheduled for Oct. 15 and possibly Oct. 16, in a location to be announced in Ohio.

But Tulsi Gabbard didn't qualify...

Wonder if Democrat "voters" feel the puppet strings?

Your average voter has never even heard of Tom.
He bought his way in into State where CA tells them what to do and when to do it.

And Tulsi didn’t qualify? Already the RAT cheating has begun. Has Donna Brazille provided Steyer with the questions yet?

I’d rather see someone like Tom Steyer who ‘bought’ his way in with money he earned than the other democrat thugs who ‘bought’ their way in by kissing MSM butt all day...

They had turned their backs on her anyway. The radicalism in that party comes from the grassroots up. Tulsi will eventually be kicked out.

I thought Steyer had already dropped out.

I’ve only heard of Tom, because of his running the impeachment commercials. He’s apparently wealthy with money to burn.

Warren has this wrapped up, the rest is a sideshow.

Probably, but - FWIW - on my drive this morning I saw brand new "Tulsi" yard signs in front of two apartment buildings... those signs were not there yesterday.

Steyer is like herpes for the Dems. Just when they think they’ve gotten rid of him, he comes back for another round to of tedious lecturing be endured.

Here comes Stalin Claus!
Here comes Stalin Claus!
On the Stalin Claus Stage!

Lieawatha, Yang and Sanders.
You can listen to them Pander.
While the Audience stews in a rage

The Media is scheming
pushing recession and fright.
Grab your Guns and say your prayers,
‘Cause Stalin Claus comes tonight.

I'm not so sure. I think Warren is just the next in line to fall on the way to a clown convention that will be fun to watch...This is who Warren reminds me of...
