Bill de Blasio doesn’t make cut for third round of Democratic presidential debates
[NYPOST] It’s official — Mayor Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly...
will be on the sidelines for the third round of the Democratic presidential primary debates.

ABC — which is hosting the Sept. 12 affair in Houston — made the announcement on Thursday afternoon.

The network confirmed that 10 candidates — the smallest debate field yet of the 2020 campaign season — met the Democratic National Committee’s entry requirements for the next showdown.

The presidential hopefuls include former Vice President Joe Biden, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro, California Sen. Kamala Harris, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and entrepreneur Andrew Yang.

Ten other candidates in the slowly shrinking primary field were left out.

Next month, candidates will have the opportunity to give opening statements, but unlike the first two debates, there will be no closing statements.
Meaning the opening statements will go on and on, never closing...

#2 Tulsi Gabbard came close and would have made it if the polling requirement had allowed more polling sites to 'count'. She had over 2 dozen poll showings of 2% or greater but all but 2 didn't count per the DNC rules.

Tom Steyer also came close.

#3 The DNC can't stand that Tulsi devastated Harris the way she did Biden. Arbitrary rules in play. Truth is, the Harris clown car was already speeding toward the cliff...Tulsi just nudged the gas a little.

#4 It's hilarious listening to Tubby Flabbard fans whine. She's totally anti 2A and a full on communist. But her fans sell her as a True American(tm)

#5 Tulsi Gabbard is probably the most to the right of all of these ten wingnuts. And she is easy on the eyes. It looks like the DNC chairmen are trying to make this election easy for Thump by promoting the most radical lefty socialist candidates.
