4. I didn't suggest that they be forced to withdraw.

Nor do I think they should. My question was more to those candidates, actually.

At some point, if you are unable to garner enough support to meet the debate requirements, wouldn't you begin to recognize that you were not a viable candidate?

There is a long, long list of people who have filed to run, but who are not even being considered as real candidates here or anywhere else. They know that, too.

We have 24 declared candidates who wish to be considered as serious candidates. What is the line they should draw, before simply ceasing their campaign? That's my question. It's not about telling them they can't continue.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
