      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

          He’s also the VT senator. New Hampshirites are very familiar with him. That’s a reason.

          I was under the impression that the DNC polls, debates, etc. were just to satisfy the public. The DNC chooses who the nominee is (see HRC). Everything else is just "show" to placate their minions. And why fund-raise in Mexico?

          (It was because he was from a neighboring state, and because their electorate is one of the whitest in the nation.)

          Cool story. It’s crunch time and it’s time for Tulsi and her following to get behind Bernie and get this done. Too much at stake.

          All of the candidates were free to be, speak, fundraiser etc. wherever they wanted and whenever they wanted. As a result of that total freedom: Some made the cut. Some didn’t. 🤷🏻‍♂️

          Bad example. Bernie is a Vermont senator so of course he surges in NH.

          Bernie gained traction because the DNC ran a ton of online ads for him in fall 2015 so it wouldn't look like a coronation.

          Yes, Bernie gained traction because lily-white NH was early on. This year CA is on Super Tuesday so I doubt he'll do as well.

          The old system also placed outsized importance on NH and Iowa, two of the whitest states in the USA.
