    They looked like they might be getting a manageable amount of candidates and now we are going back to the clown show.

    Yeah, I feel ya, but it’s only two more and I personally like Gabbard, don’t know much about Steyer. Maybe we can swap them for Castro and Yang. Next debate qualifications will be harder so we’ll be in single digits hopefully.

    We're already at 12 candidates. No thanks, I want less. Fuck Steyer. If he actually used his money to influence state and local races I'd have more respect for him, instead of throwing his money down the drain. Talk about completely aloof. And then I get this in South Philly:

    Guy panders and lazily runs a shit ton of Facebook ads just so he could "qualify" for this debate. He's done nothing of substance.

    He bought his way onto the debate by running a shit ton of ads on Facebook to meet the contributor requirement, which is lazy. Above is him stopping into a barber shop near my house, which is a complete fucking pander.

    Also - there's no single digits. We're at 12 candidates for the next debate which is just getting goddamn useless.

    I could be wrong , but I was under impression Tom Steyer had put lots of money towards different elections throughout the country in hopes of a more progressive country. I know he’s also done numerous town halls, even before announcing a run. Tom Steyer has been the leader on impeaching Trump from the very beginning.

    Yeah, we went from ten to 12 with Gabbard and Steyer. I was referring to the 5th debate which will have tougher qualifications. You’ll have to forgive me, I’m sure my horrible grammar skills got in the way of what I was trying to say.

    Then he should continue to put that money into real people running for office with real policy.

    Running a campaign on "Impeaching Trump"/"Anybody but Trump" is fucking hollow. All he's doing is adding to the clusterfuck. He's never going to poll any higher. People with money have a shit ton of ego, as we've seen.

    Yes, I get it. It’s just one more debate and we have a lot more to go and considering he’s been the leader on impeachment and the new developments, I look forward to hearing him.

    Everyone thinks they are the best able to be the president.  You have to be a bit of a narcissist to run for president to start.  I find your criticisms unusual because they could be applied to anyone.  Give the guy credit for putting his own money towards what he believes,  and his time.  Most are perfectly comfortable using the money of others instead.

    i got no problem with Tom meeting criteria. 
    Tim Ryan couldn't do it.  Kristen G and Bill DeBlasio couldn't do it.  Marianne Williamson doesn't look like shes gonna do it.

    the threshold for being eligible for the debates is laughable. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    I take poll results with a grain but I can't help but find this interesting in light of Biden still being referred to as "the front runner".


    Elizabeth Warren tops Democratic candidates in national poll for first time

    New Quinnipiac survey finds Massachusetts senator polling at 27% with Biden on 25% and Sanders 16%

    There is no doubt that she is trending upwards, and I find it interesting as well. It’s interesting what polls get highlighted when there are other polls, with larger sample sizes, that show something totally different.
