I like there are so many out there competing to get their message out. Dismissing folks who aren’t considered “Heavyweights” ignores the ideas these folks have that inspired their supporters to give them enough money and effort to get them on the stage.

Time will winnow down the field so what’s the rush to throw away passionate segments of the Democratic coalition?

We don’t have to push them off the stage,just let them quietly drop out over the next few weeks and keep their followers engaged through the rest of the process.

Notice not many folks talking about Bernie... the Bros won’t like that. I expect them to go HAM on every woman in the race...

All the "debates" have shown is how disorganized the Democratic party is, and it has a lot of work to do in crafting a coherent message to the American people.

Not disorganized, it is inclusive. Why not spend a few months passing around the megaphone and spreading Democratic ideals for a wide variety of policies from border to border and sea to Sea?
Giving these candidates their space will make it easier for their supporters to move their energy to a smaller and smaller group of candidates.

Chance are these voters won’t become the “or Bust” Bernie bros or the idiots who literally pissed away their votes on Jill Stein.

Inclusive means indecisive in politics.

---The Democrats got the voters—and the country got 9/11, Fort Hood, the Boston Marathon bombing, clitorectomies, an explosion of gang rapes, child rapes, sex tourism, slavery, voodoo, Russell Brand, billions of taxpayer dollars stolen in Medicare and Medicaid scams, an epidemic of heroin deaths, soccer, bankrupt school districts and hospitals, overcrowded prisons, and endless tax hikes to pay for all the immigrant services, as small town after small town goes all-Mexican, or all-Somali or all-Hmong.---

4 year old Ann Coulter pieces usually represent the peak of scholarship and the final word on any issue.  Good work, Luee!!!! I'm convinced.

---The Democrats got the voters—and the country got 9/11

Love to know how you peg 9/11 to immigration.

Well, not really, but you sure are reaching. Kind of like blaming the Negro slaves for the Civil War.

If people are entering the country "illegally" and are being "apprehended" then the borders aren't "open".  You don't need a Harvard education to figure that out, but perhaps a class in logic.  But before I go any further, once again, I'll wait on Kid's stellar research skills (I'm sure Twitter will serve up the info) to see who's advocating open borders.
 
Well, you said you were  not interested in the debates.
I guess you weren’t kidding.

Maybe you can help Kid with his research. Not by telling me who the Wall Street Journal tells you is advocating open borders, but who actually is. I'm open to learning.

And for the record, arguing for doing away with ICE is no more of an argument for open borders than the right wing argument for doing away with the IRS is an argument for doing away with the income tax.

In Spain, it got so hot that manure spontaneously ignited, starting a 10,000 acre wildfire.

Shit pretty much has been spontaneously combusting here since.1/20/17.

France set a record for heat --> 45.1 degrees Celsius (113.2 Fahrenheit)
Even I think that is hot.

But if you can find one candidate saying "I'm for open borders", have at it. I'm all ears and eyes. As an aside, as far as I know only one candidate made a regular practice of hiring "illegals."

I’m sure you have the necessary skills to read news accounts of the debates.

 I have as much interest in reading about the "debate" as I did in watching it.
