The thresholds for the first two debates have already rankled candidates and the third and fourth debate thresholds are sure to do the same. "That's an odd measurable," New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who has yet to reach the 65,000-donor threshold, told CNN earlier this month in New Hampsire. "Like, why do you make that your measurable as opposed to have you won elections before and have you ever run statewide before and how many votes have you gotten before and have you passed legislation and are you effective in your job?" She added: "I think it's random and inaccurate, but it's their choice. They're the DNC, so I'll follow the rules that are given, and I'll have to play by the rules."
