, Elizabeth Warren, and Kamala Harris.
If you want to throw Pete Buttigieg in, even though he has made exactly zero inroads with black voters, fine, but those first four are the frontrunners, and everyone else is a no-hoper. What’s more, we need those four to debate on a smaller stage, where we won’t have Jake Tapper or Anderson Cooper throwing it to John Hickenlooper every 30 seconds for an irrelevant take.
After the debacle of the first two debates, it wasn’t unreasonable to think we might get there. Instead, for the next debate in Houston on Sept. 12, the DNC decided to do the following:There were ten or fewer qualifying candidates, in which case they’d all go on the same night. What that meant, in practice is that either the major candidates would be split up in smaller fields, or they’d be together in a really large one—both of which fail to meet the criteria of the ideal debate. exactly ten candidatesAnd because the criteria are so liberal, the few candidates who are cut off this time—Tulsi Gabbard, Tom Steyer, Kirsten Gillibrand, Marianne Williamson, among others—will likely rejoin in October, inflating the field back to an unreasonable 14 or more.
What makes the DNC’s self-owns so aggravating is that there’s an easy solution: Split the ten-person field into two nights five , and then do what the Republicans did in 2016, which is to put the lower-tier candidates together so that the big names can share the stage alone on their own night.
