There are still too many hopefuls who don't have a chance.

I'm disappointed it's already up to 8. I wish it were only the top 5 at this point. We've had four debates now where a huge number of candidates have been able to participate. It's pretty silly that going into November, we're still having such crowded stages.

I would almost rather the DNC narrow down the official debates drastically and loosen the requirements for the CNN town halls so that maybe the top 10-12 could keep participating in those. That way those people wouldn't completely drop off the map (probably only people who are really interested in politics watch those anyway), but the debates wouldn't turn into game shows where everyone piles on the front runners.

Fewer candidates. More time for each person to speak. And for goodness sakes, could we switch the questions up from debate to debate?
