Democrats mull two stages to hold crowded 2020 field during debates

Democrats are considering using two stages to hold all the Democrats running for the White House in 2020 when the candidates gather for debates.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez said he is also thinking about whether place the candidates randomly on those stages, instead of giving preference to those who are polling ahead of others, according to the Associated Press. In contrast, Republicans gave polling leaders preferential placement near the center of each stage for their debates in 2016.

The AP said Democrats are thinking of capping the total number of candidates to 16 for the debates.

Perez plans to announce the specifics of the first two 2020 primary debates by the end of the week. Those debates are expected to be held in June and July.

Remember 2016 when Dems mocked (as a "clown car") the GOP for requiring this?  Pepperidge Farm remembers....

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Ladies and gentlemen, you're about to behold a sight so strange, so horrifying, so utterly monstrous, that I urge you who are easily frightened or upset, who suffer from nervous disorders, weak hearts, or queasy stomachs, who experience nightmares, and any children under the age of 16, to forgo witnessing this exhibit. There are only two kinds of freaks ladies and gentlemen. Those created by God, and those made by man . The  democrat creatures on these stages are living breathing proof of human beings that once were... well, that's another story. One that happened a long time ago, a long way from here. Look if you must.

Sounds like a description of Tolkein's Nazgûl.

And, you know what, with such a crowded field, one of those misshapen creatures might actually win.
