The Democratic National Committee has dropped grassroots fundraising qualifications for the party's February 19 debate before the Nevada caucuses, opening the possibility that billionaire Michael Bloomberg could make his first appearance on stage.
The party announced Friday three different ways for candidates to reach the debate stage that involve reaching certain polling thresholds or banking a convention delegate in the first two nominating contests held in Iowa and New Hampshire.
All previous debates have included a fundraising element, and since September, candidates have had to reach both polling thresholds and grassroots fundraising marks.
Bloomberg, a former New York City mayor, has not yet hit the polling marks, but he will have until Feb. 18, the day before the debate, to do so - a prospect that pleases some rivals and incenses others.

This has everything to do with cutting down Bernie Sanders and his path to the nomination. The DNC did all kinds of shitty things to him in 2016 and are going to steal the nomination from him in 2020.
