They made it harder all along for others squirecam Feb 2020 #71

How did they make it easier? lapucelle Feb 2020 #72

They dropped squirecam Feb 2020 #74

So? How does that make it easier? N/T lapucelle Feb 2020 #75

By not having ANY squirecam Feb 2020 #77

Your Fox link concerns the January debate. The rules were the same for everyone lapucelle Feb 2020 #83

I don't get your point squirecam Feb 2020 #85

Usually becoming more stringent in regards to donations, not eliminating them, Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #40

Yes, because it was thought to be indicative of grass roots interest. lapucelle Jan 2020 #50

They didn't need to eliminate donations in order to add delegate counts. n/t Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #55

Those numbers will still be reported. N/T lapucelle Jan 2020 #63

That's not the point, donations won't be a qualifier for debates as of February 19th Uncle Joe Feb 2020 #73

Why should donations be a qualifier at this point? lapucelle Feb 2020 #79

Why not? I thought the goal was to narrow the field Uncle Joe Feb 2020 #84

Isn't that the truth. If Bloomberg the polling criteria they should welcome it to hold his feet to still_one Jan 2020 #56

Oh please, just stop C_U_L8R Jan 2020 #19

Umm, are they trying to piss off half of the party? DanTex Jan 2020 #20

At this point, since Bloomberg is moving up in the polls, The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2020 #24

That makes sense. But still, it's bound to piss a bunch of people off. Which we don't need. DanTex Jan 2020 #25
