The podium order for the October debate has been announced.
Similar to the September debate, CNN/NYT used the 10 most recent qualifying polls to determine this order:
Possibly last hurrah for Tulsi, Castro, and Beto, so I fully expect them to go all out with the attacks.

And 12 people on stage this time.
Some critics are saying it should be 2 nights of 6 & 6.
Will be interesting to see what the final threshold for the November debate will be.

They already announced the criteria for the November debate: 165,000 individual donors and one of two polling requirements - 3% in four national or early-state polls, or 5% in two early state polls, all between Sept. 13 and midnight seven days before the debate. Also, at least 600 unique donors in at least 20 states, United States territories or D.C.

Count Bernie out.

Bernie is going to be perfectly fine. He's up and joking with all the nurses at Cedars-Sinai already. Mark me, he's going to be dancing on that stage when the time comes.

Yes, R2, although there are some critics who would like to see the threshold made tougher.
But for now the 3% threshold for November would likely eliminate Gabbard, Castro, Steyer & Klobuchar.

Can they really toughen it as they go along? I don't think that's fair. Yes for the December debate, but definitely not for the November one. If you put out a proclamation, you should stick to it.
