Per my DNC contacts...

If the debate field remains 10 or less, there will be one debate on Thursday, September 12. If there are more than 10, the field will be divided, and a second debate will be held on Friday, September 13.

I think that even 10 is too much.

Having six or seven will give more time for all to talk.

Not questioning your info, just don't see what there is to "decide". Weren't the criteria objective and can't we already see who met them and who didn't?

I think the candidates have until 5 PM today to certify the donations component.
