Who's in and who's out of the first Democratic debates.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/13/us/politics/democratic-debates-2020.html

The Democratic National Committee is set to announce the candidates who qualified for the first debates of the 2020 presidential campaign on Thursday, chopping the historically large field of 23 contenders down to the 20 available slots.

A New York Times analysis of the criteria indicates that Gov. Steve Bullock of Montana, Representative Seth Moulton of Massachusetts and Mayor Wayne Messam of Miramar, Fla., did not qualify, and will be left out of the debates on June 26 and 27 in Miami.

The candidates who made the cut — a full list appears at the end of this article — did so by registering 1 percent support in three polls, receiving donations from 65,000 people, or both.

SNIP

The 20 candidates who appear to have qualified, in alphabetical order, are: Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado; former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.; Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey; Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind.; former housing secretary Julián Castro; Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York; former Representative John Delaney of Maryland; Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii; Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York; Senator Kamala Harris of California; former Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado; Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington; Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota; former Representative Beto O’Rourke of Texas; Representative Tim Ryan of Ohio; Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont; Representative Eric Swalwell of California; Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts; the self-help author Marianne Williamson; and the former tech executive Andrew Yang.

Well, now we really know this guy is trying to increase his visibility, first running for House Speaker, now President.

I'm not dumping on Ryan. Obviously he has aspirations, as should any young politician. Governor, senator, whatever ...

Or Gianforte's going to be representing MT for a long time.

Same for Moulton - keep your seat.

It's basically a strip of a suburb.

wild mood swings.

That's one reason why I think Tester would make the best Veep candidate: he can reach paranoid white gun owners.

Gianforte's election just made me shake my head. He's an asshole's asshole.

I know Bullock started late, but I can't fathom how a sitting US governor of a red state is not at the first debate, but we have Williamson and Yang who are not serious candidates being there. I know there are debate rules and thresholds, but this just doesn't sit right with me.

i think actually having won election and getting actual votes is more important than how much money you can get in a month or whatever.

they could maybe do something like they should have been in office within the past 7 years or something like that to prevent people like gravel who haven't been in office for decades from getting in.
