DNC rules to shut out minor candidates from debates

[longknife]

They’re up to their old tricks. Make it easy for the “established” ones and put up all sorts of hurdles for the newbies.


Dims are oh so easy to figure out.

The Democratic National Committee has imposed new debate requirements for candidates that could make it harder for minority candidates to compete. The rules essentially help the Democratic party’s “older, more established” gatekeepers.

“Campaigns like Kirsten Gillibrand have not qualified for the debate and pushing back against the DNS,” a Democratic campaign senior operative, who wished to remain anonymous, told Accuracy in Media on Thursday.

The party is hoping that after the debate a couple of candidates will drop, easing the process for top contenders.

It goes on to explain how they’ve already decided who will make the debates.

Well with what 22 candidates, a two debate would give each one like time to open and close and that would be it.

 

[Blackrook]

They should be put in a sack and thrown into the ocean, like drowning kittens when you have too many.

There has to be a line drawn somewhere to separate the serious candidates from those who are simply running to increase their exposure as possible running mates. Cutting the field in half is not likely to eliminate anyone who has a chance to win. As long the cut-off is near the polling/fundraising average for all declared candidates it will be entirely fair.

There are rules for who makes the debates and who doesn't. Those who don't qualify don't get on. There has to be limits, there's only so much airtime.

 

[Staidhup]

So here we go again, who chooses, the DNC? I for one would like to see the whole group have a shot, then let the primaries weed out the chaff. Then again I believe the people have a right to make their choice.

 

[DJT for Life]

Don't forget, the DNC will also have to require the candidates to bring a blanket, for the one
hour intermission where Sleepy Joe can take his one hour nap or he ain't gonna make it.

You will hear practically no bitching about this from the candidates as long as the process is transparent and free of any sort of arbitrary favoritism. I am going to trust the process until I have a reason not to.

How so the Republicans don't discriminate on who runs like the DNC does, liberal Trump was welcomed, with Socialist Bernie the DNC had to rig it so he didn't have a chance in hell.

Did the Repubs have all 16 people on the stage at the debates at the same time? Or did they limit the main debate to just certain people?

 

[Manonthestreet]

I think essays are the best solution to this. Minimum.5 pages on why you are a real candidate or which superhero you identify as.

Why you avoiding my fact the Democrats discriminate with US tax dollars and the Republicans don't?

It simply isn't possible to have that many people in a debate unless it's planned to be 3 or 4 hours long.

I see no problem with this.

A fair assessment
