The DNC keeps changing the minimum individual donation limit for qualifying to be on the debate stage. It started out as 65,000 and they stepped it up to 130,000. This was designed to get rid of some candidates that the establishment types don't want on the debate stage like Tulsi Gabbard.
According to a POLITICO analysis, just eight candidates have received more than 2 percent of support in four early polls: former Vice President Joe Biden, Sens. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar and Cory Booker, Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas.
I am puzzled at how Joe Biden got that many individual donations that he wasn't even close to a week ago without cheating, I don't know. I personally don't know many people who like him as a person, much less as a candidate and the idea that he is the only one who is qualified to beat Trump is ridiculous because so many people, including many Republicans, hate Trump now.
I guess we will have to see on the debate stage how Biden, who told his supporters at a rally that he is the most progressive candidate, when we know he gets his money from Comcast and other big money Wall Street donors, we will see how that one shakes out when people actually listen to him on the debates. He also started out way late to even announce and he didn't have that many small donations.
I, personally, have to remember that there are a lot of older people who haven't got access to the internet and get all their information from the television and now that means mainstream media stations that are owned by six conservatives. I find that very unfortunate, because a lot of Biden's supporters are now old school Republicans who are never going to vote for Donald Trump embarrassing their brand again.
I can't wait for the debates and find it sad that Tulsi Gabbard from Hawaii got snubbed on the debates by the DNC minimum donation limit, because she is the other completely progressive candidate, besides Bernie.
