@planoneck Four reasons: 1). Because Bennet is considered a serious senator and Steyer is ego-tripping; 2). Because historically Iowa and NH polls have dramatically fluctuated; 3). Because there's no such thing as a national primary; 4). Because debate exclusion has killed his fund-raising. — PolitiTweet.org

@Specialk6657 I can see using benchmarks (polls, endorsements) to decide which non-traditional candidates might warrant a slot on a debate stage. But I don't see it for senators or governors. — PolitiTweet.org
