Conservative Filmmaker Seeks to Disrupt Democratic Debates

[RandySF]

Conservative filmmaker Ami Horowitz announced that he is running for president as a Democrat in an attempt to disrupt the party’s nominating process.

He’s seeking 65,000 donors, even at $1 apiece, so that he can be onstage at next month’s first Democratic debate.

1. Didn't the DNC say there would be a maximum of 20 candidates

in 2x 10 televised debates?

8. Yep.

[crazytown]

10. So Ami Horowitz thinks he can get in with 65,000 dinations

but if more than 20 qualify, that would be at the DNC’s discretion.

I have no idea how many have qualified so far.

There would be other requirements , like being a Registered Democrat. I’m guessing Horowitz is looking to set up a lawsuit then film himself standing in the rain outside the venue.

2. is he gonna sign the pledge?

good luck fool.

[Salviati]

4. I would assume he'd sign anything you put in front of him

He's a republican, their word isn't worth shit.

6. beat me to it. n/t

7. Yes, dishonorable people will pride themselves on it.

Can't sign on to the giant smear on half the nation, though. Most would not do this, of course.

Btw, I believe the belief of most in their essential virtue and morality is an enormous factor that can be used. Unfortunately, "most" would also have to choose/accept the leader who would bring them back to supporting functioning, cooperative democracy, but it could happen. And we know Trump is causing a significant number to want a much more suitable leader.

3. If the DNC chair doesn't refuse Horowitz for not being a "bona fide Democrat", he should step down

5. One way to get money from fools for a campaign

which he doesn't have to run.

He will probably collect lots and then run for something else using that war chest.

9. Tom Perez can exclude this idiot under the DNC rules

[Jose Garcia]

11. Might have worked if there had been less than 20 candidates
