For those who've forgotten, here are tonight's contestants: Sen. Elizabeth Warren(MA), Mayor Bill de Blasio(NYC), Rep. Tim Ryan(OH-13), Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, Sen. Cory Booker(NJ), Former TX Rep. Beto O'Rourke, Sen. Amy Klobuchar(MN), Rep. Tulsi Gabbard(HI-2), Gov. Jay Inslee(WA), and Former MD Rep. John Delaney.

I like Warren, and Inslee seems pretty good, at least insofar as being the climate candidate.

Interesting that we don't see Warren and Sanders together.

I'd like to see them talk about the nuances between their policies.

Id like to see them both offer more left-leaning/anti-corporate arguments to all the paticipants instead of sectioning them off. They'll eventually get to debate each other, unless the DNC are shitbrains again.

So maybe in the end you're right lol

idk who, but its because each candidate needed so many donations of a certain size (something small iirc) to be able to be in the debate.

You either need to be polling at or above a certain level nationally/in Iowa or New Hampshire OR have 65,000 unique donations. Candidates who meet both criteria are given precedence, though none of the excluded candidates met either criteria, IIRC. There will be another debate under the same criteria, but starting in September, they start raising the floor on candidate participation(not sure on polling, but you need 130,000 donations).

Edit: I wish Gravel were on-stage myself.

Oh boy, imagine if the President live tweets about the candidates throughout, then there's a round near the end where the tweets are brought up on screen and the candidates have to react to them.

They need to talk about more than healthcare or at least do more like Booker did (I dont like him) by bringing up other topics that are affected.

Marshall Plan for Latin America necessitates more US involvement in those countries, and inevitably that will not be good.

I feel like it's going to be awkward for Beto to try to act like the most hispanic candidate on stage with an actual hispanic person.

It's possible, but I don't know how likely, that they might bring it up but only under the framing of "AOC says these camps are concentration camps, do you agree"
