Many of them were, as the OP noted, Sanders supporters. Can't really have it both ways.

Personally, I think he should be there, but many have insisted otherwise, somewhat laughably, because he doesn't meet the donor limits.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

PLEASE, convince the DNC to exclude Bloomberg from the debates!!! PLEASE!!! [View all] Zolorp Feb 2020 OP

I hope you are being sarcastic, because Bloomberg if he qualifies for the debates, should be vetted still_one Feb 2020 #1

I don't think they are. Bloomberg needs vetting. Just his money shouldn't get him elected. n/t zackymilly Feb 2020 #3

I agree with you. Zolorp Feb 2020 #4

Then we are on the same page. It is good for Bloomberg, his competition, and the voters still_one Feb 2020 #13

Bloomberg probably wants to debate like Brer Rabbit didn't want to be thrown to the briar patch n/t thesquanderer Feb 2020 #10

I don't want to silence him. vlyons Feb 2020 #2

Although I am a very strong proponent of COLGATE4 Feb 2020 #6

Nah. Best to let him in to see if he sinks or swims. How else are we to know if he can stand te brush Feb 2020 #7

The Republicans would not let him in. We can be sure of that. randr Feb 2020 #9

The issue some have raised is allowing him on the debate stage is unfair to other candidates. hay rick Feb 2020 #11

The whole point of primaries is vetting of candidates, let him speak n/t Baclava Feb 2020 #14

Why should he get a pass? jcmaine72 Feb 2020 #15

But your candidate's campaign seems hell bent on making sure he's not part of the debate. Zolorp Feb 2020 #17
