In a bizarre way, I am glad that Steyer is qualified

Yes, well, I object to both business owners running for the presidency. Been there, done that..

But having 11 in October means that they will be split between two days and will have more time to detail their platforms.

I've heard the other day that each candidate will have only 8 minutes to talk.

Wish they were split this time, too.

(Of course, I'd rather it were Bullock or Bennet qualifying..)


If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

a perk to Steyer.

How did he qualify and Gabbard didn't?

Thanks.

money to spend on buying your way into the debate.

Guess it wasn't such a perk after all.. if the Steyer bros are going to go negative on other Dem candidates with a bottomless pit.

Thanks, crazytown

I look more favorably on campaigns that threaten going negative but do not follow through that much, than those promise to stay positive, while their surrogates get as vicious as hell, or in the case of David Sirota, go full negative while denying links his boss.

David Sirota is a Liar

OP was new and I was going to KR it.. Thanks for the reminder, though.

Yeah, I don't think they're fooling too many with that.. ".. not going negative.. " when the surrogates are out there doing that very thing.
