FATCAT 60,888 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who presented herself in the presidential race as a champion of women and families, said Wednesday that she was withdrawing from the Democratic primary after failing to qualify for a third debate next month — a development she described as fatal to her candidacy. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/28/us/politics/kirsten-gillibrand-2020-drop-out.html?

FATCAT 60,888 Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 I'm expecting most of the candidates that don't meet the mark for the third debate to drop out. Edit: this also means that Tom Steyer & Tusli Gabbard are on borrowed time. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many candidates who haven't qualified for the next debate are expected to stay in anyway, especially those who are pretty close to qualifying since they'll likely qualify for the debates in October. Even so candidates like Marianne Williamson are planning to stay in the race regardless if they qualify. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
REALITY 80,166 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I hated her in the first debate, but I thought she did okay/well in the second. Maybe it sounds cynical, but I'm glad people are dropping out. Let's narrow this thing down and hopefully we can pick a candidate that can defeat Trump.

Lion Heart 15,041 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I don't really like her but I think she dropped out too soon. There's plenty of candidates who will not qualify for next month's debate, but probably can qualify for a future one. She probably ran out of cash. I wonder who her core supporters will now support? My guess is some will flock to Klobuchar and to Harris. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,550 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Good, she annoyed me in both debates. Especially in the first one when she decided to scream over everyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its about losing those undecided democratic voters though, as the race tightens people will begin picking, and with less and less on the debates it's gonna be harder and harder to get your message out.

They required polling above a certain percentage in a couple of states & individual donor counts had to be above a certain number.

I expect Tulsi to drop out soon but be involved behind the scenes and Tom steyer ugh you cant buy elections, oh wait ya can spread love ,kindness & compassion 👹🖤!!!!

PartySick 172,545 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I mean, let's be real. The choices are Biden, Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg, and Harris. In that order Everyone else is hardly in the race at all in my opinion. Hell, Kamala and Pete might as well drop out too but at least they have a chance.

TBH it's more of a Sanders/Warren/Biden split atm. I don't expect that to change much unless the others have major moves.

But I think that's highly unlikely here. Some good senate and cabinet choices though Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
