@rachel_x_graves Of course, lots of candidates who were at minuscule level in the polls at this point did very well in the primaries from Gary Hart in 1984 to Rick Santorum in 2012. — PolitiTweet.org

@sjdemas That said, having seen Warren revel in campaigning in Iowa last weekend, I think the comparison to Hillary is mostly off-base for non-policy reasons. — PolitiTweet.org

@davidgoldiner Raising the criteria for September will mean that there will be one instead of two debates. And prematurely winnowing the field, five months before Iowa, will be a disservice to the voters and the candidates. The order of the first debates is just a symptom of a large problem. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Once again, the DNC is letting its debates be used by the networks' in their soulless quest for ratings. This is the mistake that the GOP made in 2016 with Trump. And especially by raising its criteria for September, the DNC is becoming a spineless arm of the TV networks. — PolitiTweet.org

@terryshumaker @Nate_Cohn The weird advantage for Bullock had also occurred to me. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Most important political piece of the week -- @Nate_Cohn on the foolish obsession with premature polls. The history of candidates who broke through from tiny ratings is long (and he doesn't even mention Gary Hart in 1984): https://t.co/ikPj2surBG — PolitiTweet.org

@dieterich_mk Buttigieg is also polling exceptionally well in Iowa -- and not bad nationally. A little to make that case for Williamson or Yang. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattizcoop I think she will defy the cliches of redemption by going to Axelrod's Institute of Politics in Chicago instead of the Kennedy School. Also, in light of her father's original hustle, I think her book is "From the Pulpit to the White House." — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@mattizcoop Plus an exclusive interview with PBS "News Hour" in which she courageously confesses, "Mistakes were made." — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
A political party that wasn't afraid of its shadow would give priority to a sitting governor and a former head of the Democratic Governors Association over Marianne Williamson and Andrew Yang, who have never held office and have never done anything for the party. — PolitiTweet.org

I assume that Sarah Sanders is headed for a nice fellowship at the Council on Foreign Relations. — PolitiTweet.org

@PanderingStooge @JamesDakinOwens As I say in the article, I see no reason not to have rotating debates with 10 candidates per night. Why should the networks get to winnow the Democratic field eight months before Iowa? — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
From the superb @MarkLeibovich: "In the event of an emergency, as many Democrats view the prospect of a second term for Donald Trump, it’s natural to gravitate to a security blanket, no matter how itchy: Joe Biden, in other words." https://t.co/G4URZ7ZfwS — PolitiTweet.org

@aedwardslevy That one wins. — PolitiTweet.org

@okrent The interpretation is that the only reason Bullock's lagging is that he got into the race late. It could be that he would also be lagging if he got in during the winter. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@jacobbendicksen Not when the thresholds are completely arbitrary -- down to the difference of a single extra supporter in a recognized national poll. Also, I strongly feel that established political figures (Bullock, Bennett) should have time to develop their campaigns over eight months to Iowa. — PolitiTweet.org

Debate Rules: For fairness, all the DNC had to do in its debate criteria was to add the line: "In case of minuscule differences in poll numbers, preference would go to sitting or recent governors and members of Congress. Past service to the party would also be a factor." — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
A very effective web ad by Steve Bullock putting the best possible interpretation on the DNC bouncing him from the Miami debate stage for, gulp, Marianne Williamson. https://t.co/qBS24TxkiJ — PolitiTweet.org

This is the Jean-Paul Sartre campaign. Buttigieg this morning: climate change is "an existential threat." Biden this afternoon: Trump is an "existential threat." Inslee press release: "climate crisis as an existential threat." Maybe I should just read "Being and Nothingness." — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs I had all my money bet on a vicious Biden slam of Marianne Williamson. — PolitiTweet.org

Important piece on the homelessness crisis on the West Coast and how surprising it is that most Democrats, even with the March 3 California primary, just aren't focusing. https://t.co/G6XuyoiKVM — PolitiTweet.org

@markzbarabak The 1968 Democratic convention, where one-quarter of the delegates were chosen in back-room caucuses in 1967, transformed how we nominate presidents. In 1968, there were 3 binding primaries (not beauty contests). In 1980, 33 such primaries. Kudos on these facts to @EKamarck. — PolitiTweet.org
