The Federalist:
Former Housing and Urban Development Director Julián Castro will appear on stage in the third round of Democratic primary debates on Sept. 12 in Houston.
In order to qualify for the Houston debate stage, candidates must meet two criteria: 130,000 unique donors from at least 20 different states and an average 2% support in four different national polls.
Candidates may use any of the following polls to qualify:
- Associated Press
- ABC News
- CBS News
- CNN
- Des Moines Register
- Fox News
- Monmouth University
- NBC News
- New York Times
- National Public Radio
- Quinnipiac University
- University of New Hampshire
- Wall Street Journal
- USA Today
- Washington Post
- Winthrop University
Castro had garnered more than 130,000 donors and was averaging 2% in three national polls. On the morning of Aug. 20, Castro reached 2% support in a CNN poll conducted Aug. 15-18.
Castro will be the 10th candidate to join the Houston debate stage. The other qualifying candidates are Joe Biden (29%), Cory Booker (2.2%), Pete Buttigieg (4.6%), Kamala Harris (7.4%), Amy Klobuchar (1.4%), Beto O’Rourke (3.4%), Bernie Sanders (15.4%), Elizabeth Warren (15.8%), and Andrew Yang (2%).
If any other candidates qualify for the September debates prior to the cutoff date of Aug. 28, the event will most likely extend from one night to two. ABC News has made it clear it would prefer only 10 candidates on the stage, but it is willing to turn the debate into a two-night event, extending into Sept. 13. MORE HERE
Mongo Lloyd is good for one more chuckle, then he needs to GTFO.
I heard on the news this morning that that booger eating moron, Inslee, is still trying to qualify on both criteria. Non supporters have been chipping in hoping that he gets another crack at exposing his brand of one-way enlightenment of the benighted to a national televised audience.
efinitely “Much watch TV”???
This is one of those events I will probably not watch, but cull from highlight reels all I need to know.
I’m thinking I’m beginning to figure this out-
I consider that they want to load the stages with losers like this guy at the debates so that they draw less attention to their ‘front runners.’ It wouldn’t surprise me at all if many of their donors were subsidized by their competitors’ campaigns. When one of the ‘leaders’ makes a blunder, they can immediately go to one of the losers and divert attention. No follow up questions, just move over to another ring in the circus.
Does this guy honestly think he could, or ever would, be elected? If so, that in itself shows his bad judgement.

Perhaps we should start a go fund me for Inslee.
Send a booger to Jay.
With your donation of all your boogers we could stop droughts and floods and new highs and lows and tornadoes and hurricanes.
Imagine all the people living for the Earth.
It’s so beautiful Man.
