1. Are Debates Like Job Applications?
Or are they just stages to sound off on? If a candidate has no delegates and no traction, it is a vanity candidacy. It is one thing if candidates were just being shut out, another when the American people clearly are not interested.

But if you don't think the debates are job applications, then fine. Let 'em stay and get out the message.

3. Other
My candidate should debate a non-candidate alone so he always comes out looking the best.

5. Couldn't resist - had to vote "Yes" (#1)
That's just too tempting an image: a debate with just "my" candidate! :D

Seriously... Of course, *every* (current) Dem candidate should be there.
