What Went Down On Day Three Of The Democratic Convention

With the exception of some kind of outburst from the California delegation, it seems like there’s a positive reception for the speeches tonight, including former CIA Director Leon Panetta. This is a pretty strong contrast with some of the debates between Sanders and Clinton, in which Sanders fiercely criticized Clinton’s Iraq War vote and foreign policy approach. Her actions and positions, including her praise for Henry Kissinger in that debate, have drawn ire from progressives. For her part, Clinton questioned her opponent’s credentials and readiness in foreign affairs. As I wrote this, delegates began to chant “no more war” — which could be directed at Trump as well as the Democratic nominee.

Answer

It doesn’t seem particularly likely right now. A candidate needs to be polling at 15 percent to make it into the debates. Johnson is averaging just 8 percent in the polls, and Stein isn’t anywhere close to that.

I would say the U-S-A chants, Nate, were the biggest of the night so far — crowd seemed really frustrated with the interruptions.
