8. Patience, the first round of debates aren't for awhile, then you might see some movement

"The first debate will be held on June 26th and 27th in Miami, Florida, and will be broadcast live on NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo.

The second debate will be held on July 30th and 31st in Detroit, Michigan, and will be broadcast live on CNN."

The lineups for both sets of debates will be chosen at random from the candidates who qualify, with half taking the stage on the first night, and half taking the stage on the second night.

To qualify, candidates must register at least one percent support in three independent state and national polls determined by the DNC. Candidates must also receive at least 65,000 unique donations, including at least 200 from 20 different states. The DNC has capped the number of debate-eligible candidates at 20. If more than 20 candidates qualify, polling averages and donation numbers will factor into how those who make the cut are determined.
