Xochitl Hinojosa, the Democratic National Committee’s communications director, tweeted Tuesday evening that “of course the threshold will go up.” “By the time we have the March debate, almost 2,000 delegates will be allocated,” Hinojosa wrote. “The threshold will reflect where we are in the race, as it always has.”
That sounds right. Nobody in the Democratic Party wants Tulsi.
How about all the other states that have had primaries thus far? Was there a town hall or a debate including all those 6 candidates prior to your state’s primary?
For anyone who feels genuinely concerned about the prospect that T Gabbard won’t be on the debate stage, maybe you could consider voting for her in the 2020 Presidential election rather than D Trump.
Surely if D Trump had participated in a Republican primary debate Fox News would have covered it? Why did the RNC not schedule debates prior to all primaries where there was more than one Republican on the ballot?
William Weld received 6.5% of the vote in Utah. That’s way more than Gabbard has received anywhere…except of course American Samoa, where the votes are mostly symbolic.
Nationally, Weld is polling at 5-8% amongst GOP primary voters. Gabbard has consistently been at 1-2%…and the Dems let her participate in early debates. Trump has never debated Weld.
Why is the GOP conspiring to keep Weld’s candidacy a secret from the American people?
It is a strategy to sow the seeds that the eventual outcome of the primary is somehow illegitimate and that the nomination was “stolen” from whoever loses. It doesn’t matter who actually wins, the argument will be the same.
