2020 presidential candidate John Delaney compared the Democratic National Committee to the Marvel super villain Thanos for excluding him from an upcoming debate because he didn’t qualify.

“The way the DNC decided to do these debates is they effectively cut out half the field. I don’t think ultimately voters want that to happen,” Delaney told MSNBC’s Chris Jansing, who asked if he felt the DNC was trying to rush candidates out of the race.

“They’re kind of like Thanos, snapping their finger and trying to get rid of half the field,” Delaney said, referencing the main villain of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

“Some of the outcomes don’t make any sense. We have sitting Democratic governors who are not in the debate. We have sitting members of Congress who are not in the debate. We need a debate. We need an incredibly important debate about issues that haven’t even been touched on in this primary. Foreign policy, trade, all these very important issues that really haven’t even come up,” he continued.

2. In advertising, there's a saying: they didn't like the dog food

No matter how much you expose a product to people by advertising it or marketing it greatly, if the consumer doesn’t like it, they don’t like it.

3. They all knew the rules going in months ago. It's like the Rams complaining about....

....the last Super Bowl - "it's not fair that they make us play against the best quarterback in history and the team with the highest score is the winner!"

4. Wasn't he the FIRST one to declare his candidacy?

Back in...(checks Google)...July 2017?

What was he doing for all those months when he was the SOLE candidate?

5. Pretty sure the voters do want the field cut in half

Not going to get much meaningful debate with 20 people giving 30 second responses, and Chuck Todd not letting them finish their thoughts.
