This guy is amazing: apparently his greatest fear is that the “Democratic” candidate will be selected by a democratic process, and so he has to come up with a number of schemes by which the party elites can maintain their power as party elites.

My favorite line: “To paraphrase Rod Blagojevich, the DNC has these debate slots and they’re [very] golden, so the DNC should not give it up for nothing.” Presumably he’s forgotten that Blago is wearing an orange jumpsuit for following through on that insight.

Battle Royale to the death. Who would you bet on? Is Yang a kung-fu Asian or a math Asian?

The problem is most of these Democrats keep trying to out-left each other. So they are all right now fighting for same niche of voters. They all want to be the left-wing candidate because they believe that’s where the party energy is. It’s a bit of a miscalculation. The far-left is loud. And the media is on their side. But that doesn’t mean that’s where the majority of voters are.

This is why Biden right now has such a massive lead over the pack because he’s attractive to the more moderate Democrats not enthralled by the extreme left.

When the number gets to 64, use the same basic structure as the NCAA basketball tournament. Let Obama choose the rankings. Use the convention as the site for the Final 4.

More room on the stage for each contestant, and allows for focused audiences. And just like the college rankings, the fans can argue about who made the cut just to get in, and which candidate is this year's Cinderella candidate. (no, that's not a Pete Buttiegieg joke, but it could be.)

Added bonus; the candidates could sell hats, shirts, key-rings, guacamole bowls, the list goes on.
