Although I find Beto intriguing, he is too green and inexperienced to be POTUS. Get some seasoning and try again in 8 years.
Bernie and Joe? A bit long in the tooth now. Bernie has some good ideas that support We The People and should be a consultant to the eventual nominee. Joe should have primaried HRC last time. He doesn’t strike me as high energy enough to make it work.might ma

Beto needs to unseat CRUZ before he can get elected.

AS, Instead of wisecracking about community organizers I challenge you to google Obama and review what he did after college and prior to attending Harvard Law. I know he’s an ‘other’ so the whole community organizer schtick works for certain minded people, but let me know if you think what he did as a volunteer was a worthy endeavor.

There is also the most recent one I am aware of, in which Trump ranks last in a poll of presidential politics experts. 44th out of 44 among Democrats, next-to-last (43rd) among Independents, and in the bottom five (40th out of 44) among Republicans.

1% polling number in three different accepted polls gets you in, or if you have 200 actual donors from a set number of states gets you in.

Funny how on another thread it's all about how MSNBC has horrible ratings & their news can't be trusted, yet majority of links used are typically MSNBC articles.

20 is the maximum number on the stage. Only 13 are assured a spot as of this article's posting.

Funny how on another thread it's all about how MSNBC has horrible ratings & their news can't be trusted, yet majority of links used are typically MSNBC articles. This is not a MSNBC article. This is from "Politco" posted on MSN. Is Politico, an arm of MSNBC? I do not think so...... MSN is my homepage, and has been since we bought our first computer with internet capability. Do you think it strange a conservative can post from a possible liberal site? Quite frankly even though I am very political opinionated, when I post links, many times I never know whether they are from a liberal or a conservative site. If I see a link that is interesting, I open it, and if I feel it is good enough to post for discussion, I post it. I would hope everyone is open minded enough to post from either side of the political spectrum. Since this one listed the people that are "in" for the first debate, and who is on the bubble, Ithought it should be open for discussion.

Somehow, someway, I think you do care

I think it is mildly interesting. but honestly, I really don't care what they do or how they do it. I haven't voted Dem in the GE since 1996, and I probably won't this time. Tulsi Gabbard is anti-interventionist. I believe that Mike Gravel is, also. I will probably vote for one of them in the primary. but they won't win.

the polling for Biden has been remarkably steady.
it is difficult for me to imagine him losing, but I recognize that possibility.

I want to see if that steady number inches up as those who don't gain any traction drop out. I think the risk to him is people consolidating behind one other candidate. Don't see it happening but that is where I see possibility.
