Reply #65: I don't know what the rules are - how did the field get narrowed down to 8 for Dems? [View All]

I am not sure of what the procedure is.

But if a group or organization is hosting a debate and only wants to invite a certain number of candidates, that is up to them.
It is not up to the candidates themselves on who should be excluded or included.

There was a religious forum last month that only the present top 3 were invited to.


I know you support Hillary, but do you really think what she said was right?
I support Biden, and there are times when I want to smack him. Like when he made a snippy comment
about Moveon.org...I emailed his campaign and told them to tell him to never say anything
negative about Moveon again, what a great organization they are, and how they can make him or break him.

Gotcha politics are here.
They got caught saying something they shouldn't have.

The reason it hit a nerve with me is because it is too early for anyone to decide who is going to be
the Dem nominee (just look at 2004)
and it is not up to them who decides. It came off sounding arrogant on their part.
