Not for themselves, but for two candidates who didn\u2019t qualify.<\/p>\n<p>The letter demands that the DNC change its rules on who\u2019s eligible for the debates in order to allow Cory Booker and Julian Castro to participate, even though they failed to meet the standards.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-241581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/00-Rush-Morning-Update-2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"137\">Now, here\u2019s the dilemma: Democrats spent months bragging about how \u201cdiverse\u201d their field was, but even before the first primary, Democrat voters already eliminated all of the minorities &#8212; with the exception of Andrew Yang.<\/p>\n<p>So now, it\u2019s time to beg. Even though they are unqualified by the very rules the DNC put in place, Cory Booker and Julian Castro want in. They want their quota. They want affirmative action. They want a special preference.<\/p>\n<p>But the DNC leadership is pushing back. They\u2019re insisting that the standards are the standards. It\u2019s about merit. It\u2019s not feel-good diversity objectives. The DNC doesn\u2019t care if the debate stage has just a bunch of white guys and gals with a lot of money, plus Andrew Yang. They say, &#8220;Screw affirmative action, screw special preferences and screw quotas &#8212; and by the way, Cory and Julian? Screw you, too!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what they\u2019re saying now, and the irony is delicious.
