Notable Quote of the Day ([link removed])
“Indeed, major party turnout in Wayne County [in Michigan], which encompasses Detroit and is strongly African American, fell by more than 64,000 votes in 2016 as compared to 2012. That’s especially important since Trump leveled the Democrats’ famed ‘blue wall’ with narrow wins in states that were supposed to comfortably go to Hillary Clinton: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, which he won by just 10,704 votes out more than 4.8 million cast.
Tuesday will be the first test of Democrats’ ability to take them back.”
– Will Weissert and Kat Stafford, Associated Press

On Friday, the Democratic National Committee announced the criteria for the MARCH 15 PRIMARY DEBATE ([link removed]) in Phoenix, Arizona. To qualify, a candidate must receive at least 20 percent of the pledged delegates awarded in primary contests up to March 15, the day of the debate. With only two pledged delegates as of Super Tuesday, it is mathematically impossible ([link removed]) for Rep. TULSI GABBARD ([link removed]) to qualify.
*
GABBARD tweeted about the new requirements, “To keep me off the stage, the DNC again arbitrarily changed the debate qualifications. Previously they changed the qualifications in the OPPOSITE direction so Bloomberg could debate. I ask that you stand w/ me against the DNC’s transparent effort to exclude me from the debates.”
