And then there were ten. Democratic candidates on stage, that is.

The New York Times reports that the DNC has whittled the Dem field down to 10 candidates-enough to fit on a single stage for the next debate-after another round of dismal polling for the tail-end vanity candidates.
" Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.
" Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey
" Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind.
" Juliin Castro, the former housing secretary
" Senator Kamala Harris of California
" Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota
" Former Representative Beto O'Rourke of Texas
" Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont
" Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts
" Andrew Yang, a tech entrepreneur
Pause to consider how overwhelmingly important it is to lower-ranked Dem candidates to be on that privately-owned, legacy-media stage.
