such an contentious vote. this was expected to pass easily. so i decided to be down in miami, to advance my presidential campaign, where obviously there s a lot of attention being plaid to these debates. it s a vote i hate to miss, but it s a trade-off i had to make. let s talk about your campaign. you didn t qualify for the first round of democratic presidential debates houses are you going to stand out on a field. i was one of the last people to get into this race, but who the washington establishment at the democratic national committee decides to include in debates that are 7 1/2 months before voters go to the polls is not going to decide this ebeck. voters on the ground are gore to deciding this election.
