Tulsi Gabbard and Andrew Yang could get more airtime than ever to introduce themselves to America with just one more poll — or they could spend the December debate sitting at home.
For both Gabbard and Yang, being excluded from the debate stage could starve their long-shot campaigns of the oxygen that comes with the nationally televised platform — which has helped sustain their small-dollar fundraising and marginal poll numbers — as the rest of the field continues to winnow.
But if one or both qualify, they are likely to get greater shares of the speaking time than ever before. No debate thus far has included fewer than 10 candidates — and even if both Gabbard and Yang qualify, this one would include just 8 participants.
Yang, in particular, has come tantalizingly close to qualifying for the December debate. He’s hit 3 percent in 11 different approved polls, both nationally and in early states, leaving him in some cases just a couple poll respondents away from that elusive fourth poll.
Gabbard recently cried foul after she hit 6 percent in a New Hampshire poll released by The Boston Globe and Suffolk University, arguing it should qualify her for the debate. The campaign argued that the DNC should recognize the poll because other Suffolk University polls, when conducted in conjunction with USA Today, count toward qualifying. But previous Boston Globe/Suffolk University polls have not counted toward qualification for the five previous debates, and the DNC has not given any public indication that it was considering otherwise.

Williamson’s the one!
Thank you for the post CP.
But... Diversity
Clown car idiots. All of them, not just these bozos. When it comes to Pres candidates, the Dems are so scruuuud.
“Williamson’s the one!”

I’d pay to watch a debate between her and Trump. It would be both surreal and epic at the same time!
For sure they are working to keep her from being the nominee.
If she gets in, the U.S. world wide intervention corruption gig will be the same as the one Trump is running.
The smartest by far of the Dem prospects, which automatically disqualifies them.
They can go sit in the corner with mike Bloomberg
Yang is a squirrel, Tulsi is way left but has a nice rack, if I voted today I’d vote Tulsi for the debate. Truely though I don’t have a dog in the hunt. The clown car can crash and burn for all I care. Dems suck, end of story. Oh and maybe Tulsi the destroyer can drill another anal orofice.
Tulsi was supposed to come to NH yesterday and visit several towns including mine. She canceled because of a snow storm we never got. She was going to Visit a local guys house who I know. He was deeply saddened . Lol. She could have made a Nitch for herself as a sane socialist if she hadn’t voted to impeach.
Problem is, Yang and Tulsi just aren't white enough, and too young.
The irony is strong with this one.
Crazy how candidates do the ONE THING, that will knock them out of the race and haunt them forever. What was Yang thinking? Can you imagine Trump doing anything close to this? Amazing!

Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang was caught on camera in a candid moment with supporters Tuesday night while opening a new campaign office in Manchester, New Hampshire.
It’s a loyalty test. Get down on your knees and take whatever Yang shoots in your mouth.
Yang is full Biden with that Whipped Cream spray can photo. You never go full Biden.
*shudder*
Why dont they just run 3rd party?
Tulsi is leaving the HoR, and Yang isnt even in government.
Their positions suck, but why not make a play for those people that support it when the Dems rig the whole damn thing again?
