first the move was made 'immediately' after he made the donations...but it was made over 2 months after. then the move was made as he started clearing the polling threshold...when they doubled the polling threshold and actually made it harder for him (he has only cleared the new threshold in *one* outlier foxnews poll).

cmon.

you are searching for (factually iffy) details to confirm your pre-existing bias.

we are supposed to be the fact based side in our political battle. lets not start throwing around disinformation to reinforce our perceptions/grievances like the youknowwhos.

i have a lot of issues with the bloomberg candidacy and the influence of big money on our political systems. but your specific original claim (which you are working hard to blur/muddy by flooding the zone with a bunch of other details) is bullshit.

the donor threshold itself was something intentionally placed in the debate requirements (1st time in history) by sanders allies to give him an advantage. his folks (konst, zogby, etc) were pretty blatant/transparent about this back during the rules debate.

you still didnt answer one basic question...if people are already voting (which they will be by the time of the debate)...whats the point of having a donor threshold to 'measure' support?
