The [[Democratic National Committee]] moved the goal posts to cull the field before the herd gets a chance to vote in February 2020. By the September 2019 nationally televised Third Debate, each candidate must have received at least $1 from 130,000 individuals or corporate entities, doubling the required number of donors from the First Debate. A candidate must register at least 2% from 4 doctored polls. By rule, the impending doom of the [[climate crisis]] was shelved and limited to just 60 seconds in the First Debate. All Senate Democrats were absent for the vote on emergency humanitarian relief for children and families in the "manufactured" border crisis. Fringe [[leftwing]] [[Trump-Russia]] [[conspiracy theorist]] [[Rachel Maddow]] was named a moderator of the First Debate. Rule changes apparently are intended to set up a Biden/Bernie contest between socialists and the more politically savvy factions. | The [[Democratic National Committee]] moved the goal posts to cull the field before the herd gets a chance to vote in February 2020.
