    I had to check to make sure this wasn't satire.

    It just keeps getting better. They'll need stadium seating for the early debates.

    Be specific: How many candidates for a nomination do you think is too many?

    Because 18 is just a drop in the bucket?

    If you wanted to pitch this as an example of shit journalism, I'd buy it. Let's name every single person we can think of!

    I think they should all run. A lively debate help everyone, including the eventual nominee.

    Folks said too many Republicans were running in 2016. We had crowded debate stages, and even second tier debates. But, the eventual nominee went on to win.

    A large field would be the best possible scenario for the Dems, as opposed to the coronation they tried to stage this past cycle.

    Every Dem senator not listed is upset this morning.

    That's going to be embarrassing when the 1:30 pm sub-preliminary debate with Oprah, The Rock and Mark Cuban outdraws the prime time event.

    Michelle Obama made the list, but neither Hillary or Chelsea Clinton did.

    Watch out for flying ashtrays around the Clinton office today.

    Not a single Clinton or Kennedy listed. You know somebody's saying "Hold my merlot."

    Edit: YF beat me to the punch.

    Funny thing is, as we saw in 2016, based on name recognition alone, their poll numbers would put them in the prime time debated, while the senators and governors would be squaring off before dinner time.

    Excluding self-financing, about 30 of those names couldn't combine to fundraise bus fare to Des Moines.

    It's the mock draft of politic writing. Nobody should take it seriously - but CLICKS!
