DNC Changes Debate Rules After Tulsi Gabbard Reaches Previous Requirement

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Friday announced its updated debate guidelines, which essentially eliminate the chance of Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) participating in the upcoming CNN/Univision debate.

In order to participate in the March 15 debate, a candidate must have earned at least 20 percent of the pledged delegates allotted up to that point. That effectively eliminates the chance of Gabbard, who remains in the race, participating, as she currently stands with two delegates.

If the Republican party was smart they would run ads saying the DemocRAT party is biased against women.

AOC was good looking when she was in college, but she has aged, not saying she aged like Killary or Pocahantas, obviously she isn’t that old. Plus it is hard to be attracted to a 30 year old female who is a complete idiot. 21 and being dumb is one thing, 30 and being dumb is a whole different level.

Tulsi isn’t bad looking for her age, but she isn’t exactly “hot”, above average, sure. And of course she would be “hot” when she is on stage with Pocahontas, Klobachar, Kamala etc, any 35+ year old woman would look like a beauty queen compared to those battle axes.

Ace of Spades has called her "Toothy McBigTits" since the day she happened upon the political landscape.

I still get a chuckle out of it every time I see it.

No problem, she is a stealth Socialist.

She bats her eyes and a lot of Conservative Men think she would be an acceptable Rat POTUS.

They apparently suffer from LHS, Little Head Syndrome.

According to the article the old rule was:
The previous debate requirement allowed a candidate to participate if he or she had a single pledged delegate. If the DNC stuck to the previous rules, Gabbard, who did not qualify for any of the debates ahead of the caucuses in Iowa and Nevada or the primaries in New Hampshire and South Carolina, would have been able to participate.

I think the DNC would eliminate Bernie from the debate and just have Biden debate himself if they thought they could get away with it.
