Why should booker and amy drop out before those two?

...it’s just obvious several are hanging around for no apparent reason. Castro and Harris certainly fall in that category.

Plus I had another personal hellacious day.

Whoever the nominee be, that's mighty fine with me. It'll all fall into place.

None will drop out. Probably be a large group through SC

Steyer seems to be completely out of place up there. He has to realize that.

Anyone with a ticket punched to next months debate and some cash in the bank is going to keep going and hope for something.

Anyone not on the stage tonight should certainly drop out. They are effectively done.

Of the ones on the stage....it seems unlikely that Klobuchar, Beto, Castro, or Gabbard will qualify. Each would need at least three more qualifying polls. Yang still needs one, so there is a good chance that he gets in.

I think the November debate will have eight candidates, with an outside chance of 9. Outside of that, you should drop out.

I look forward to seeing him in the next debate, when there will be fewer people on stage.

There should have been two debates in this round.

Even the candidates I really like are starting to irritate me. I think once the field narrows to a handful of candidates it will be easier to digest. Most of them were really good, but I'm not hearing anything that they haven't said before. Guess I'm just getting cranky.

As for drop outs, I think Yang, Steyer, Gabbard, O'Rouke, and Castro maybe.

For these candidates to qualify in the necessary polls?

debate started on September 13, and will end on November 13.
