Inslee dropped out today, so he no longer factors into the next debate.

If the answer is yes, then maybe it would be interesting to see Steyer in there.

Five or six in a debate would allow time for more input.

and a simple agreement to have 11 instead of 10 for the debate. Don't know if they will do that - I guess it comes down to whether they think they will get more and better coverage with 2 debates with 5/6 participants or one with all of them - but this is not something that would require a constitutional amendment to change.
