21 candidates are now qualified for the first Democratic debates—which have only 20 spots.

There are 21 candidates who have now qualified for the first Democratic debates at the end of this month, but the Democratic National Committee capped the number of participants at 20, virtually ensuring at least one presidential candidate will be left off the stage at the end of this month.

Bennet cleared only the polling threshold clearing the thresholds implemented by the Democratic National Committee.But one new qualifying rule has reshaped the tactics employed by the candidates to push their donor base beyond the 65,000 threshold needed to qualify for the early debate. After the 2016 presidential primary, the Democratic National Committee implemented a new pathway to qualify for their nationally televised presidential debates: candidates can gain access through donations from 65,000 people, including 200 unique donors in each of at least 20 states, in an effort to prioritize grassroots fundraising.

But among the lowest tier, Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel, Miramar Mayor Wayne Messam, Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton, and Williamson have yet to make it on the stage.

You go with an NCAA basketball tournament format. Two number one seeds, Biden and Sanders, two brackets. One on one debates would reveal more about how a candidate would fare on a debate stage with Trump. Viewers vote thru their phones, winners advance to next round.

Each candidate will be allowed 5 seconds to answer questions.

Just take off Tulsi Gabbard.

Simple, if 21 qualified then make one debate w/ 11 and the other w/ 10. Adjust criteria for next debate, and move ahead.

Then a few more Dems need to jump in.

Have a different debate for the folks polling at less than 1% instead of wasting our time
