      Reminder: if the DNC simply accepted polls conducted by the two largest newspapers in two critical early primary states (NH and SC) -- Tulsi would have qualified for the next debate. Their "rules" make no sense and that's why people are rightly cynical about this absurd exclusion

      I'll keep repeating it for the edification of media scolds. There have been zero "approved" polls from NH/SC/NV in the past 5 weeks: you know, the states where candidates are actually campaigning. There's no national primary. This party-directed "winnowing" process is nonsensical

          You can scream about "rules," but 1) The rationale for these "rules" have never been explicated by the party bosses who devised them in secret 2) The "rules" run contrary to how primary campaigns actually work, which is that you go campaign in the first states that vote

          Bernie gained traction in 2016 in large part because he surged early on in New Hampshire, despite trailing substantially in the national polls. That's because NH voters were the ones actually hearing from him. So unless you can defend them on the substance, STFU about "the rules"

          These "rules" were devised by party bosses with no transparency. This isn't some Constitutional mandate like the Electoral College, it's a set of arbitrary dictates constructed by DNC officials who above all are protecting their own interests (and those of their "media partners")pic.twitter.com/rOnf12KxYu

          It's not real sensible, but even less sensible is the whole early-primary states BS. Why are Iowans or New Hamsphir-ites given so much power in selecting our President?

          Maybe we should start the primaries in CA. You know, where a huge population actually lives. Just a thought.

          Yes, what we need to do is even further distort New Hampshire's already inflated role in our presidential selection process.

          Just because candidates are campaigning there doesn't make them bellweather states. Primaries should not begin in small non-representative states.

          So they all have the same exposure. If they aren't making it they either have unpopular ideas or bad strategy or both.

          Also, the @dnc works closely w/controls the "news" agencies conducting the approved, national polls. This is a way to regulate the field.

          Sure, we need to bow to polls from three states where a combined 1% of Americans live. The preferential treatment of Iowa and New Hampshire is undemocratic enough.

          but until you change that, it's not a national race so national polls are irrelevant

          Its only nonsensical if you believe the DNC isnt fixing the debates and primaries for favored candidates.
