Despite claims that the field would be pared, the CNN debate stage will be packed with 20 candidates.

Montana’s Bullock will be joining the debate stage, Eric Swalwell has left the campaign. New candidates Joe Sestak and Tom Steyer won’t be there. But Marianne Williamson will be bringing his own special brand of crazy to the debates. Non-candidates like John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard, Jay Inslee, and Kirsten Gillibrand will still be around even though they have no chance whatsoever of winning.

Meanwhile the clown car rolls on.

Can 20 candidates really hold a debate?

And it’s an overcrowded clown car with too many candidates whose only role is reciting leftist talking points at each other.
