This the fourth day in October that we have started the day without a single donation. Not one. That never used to happen. It wasn’t a question of if there would be donations to start the day? It was a question of how many.
We did not need many then and we do not need many now. But we do need some and we are not getting any.
We are forced to battle.

FOCUS: Frank Rich | There Are Only 5 Candidates Still Standing After the Latest Democratic Debate
Frank Rich, New York Magazine
Rich writes: "The opening question, a softball about impeachment, allowed every last one of the 12 candidates on the overcrowded stage to tell us what we already know: They are all for it! So the advent of the impeachment inquiry per se didn't change anything."

EXCERPT:
Among the seven also-rans, the low-hanging losers are Beto O’Rourke, Julián Castro, Andrew Yang, Tulsi Gabbard, and Tom Steyer (we hardly knew ye), the billionaire vanity candidate whose main attribute is that at least he is not Howard Schultz. Their time to gain traction in this cycle has come and gone.
Obviously O’Rourke and Castro are future prospects, though it may take a while for some Democrats to forgive O’Rourke for his vainglorious decision to run for president rather than to challenge the incumbent John Cornyn in next year’s Texas Senate race.
Cory Booker and Biden, two candidates who’ve always looked highly plausible in theory but repeatedly fail to deliver, are more complicated cases.
