Yang qualifies for September debates!

Steyer "this close"


So this officially happened late last week, but I missed it because (well frankly) who cares a lot about Andrew Wang. But the reality is that the more Democrats who qualify the more chances there are for everything to be completely mucked up in the debate, which is good for Trump and the GOP.

I actually like Wang. Glad he qualified. 

Meanwhile Tom Steyer is on pace for a spot as well. He apparently got to 130,000 donors and has three qualifying polls so far. Many are upset with his rise in donors, largely because he spent millions in advertising in order to gain less money in donations. The accusation being that he has "bought" his donor base. Fair enough. But 130,000 donors are 130,000 donors. I saw people in downtown St Paul with dollar bills in their hand asking people to sign up and donate $1.00 to Amy Klobuchar's campaign. Were they offering to front the $1.00 or were they using it as a prop? 

Either way, neither Wang, Steyer, or Klobuchar is going to win the nomination. Probably hanging around looking for a possible spot either on the ticket or in a potential cabinet if the Democrat actually wins (at least for Wang and Klobuchar - not too sure about Steyer). 

Still hoping Williamson and Gabbard make the field. The more than merrier. Williamson adds some comic relief, while Gabbard can pick on her jail yard bitch Kamala Harris a little more.
