win the GE. I also think we need her in the Senate. However, I absolutely want her in the debates.

200,000,000 registered voters in the U.S. know her name, so qualifying by polling is basically in the bag. Coverage is focusing more on why she already isn't polling in double digits, not that she won't meet the basic requirement of getting 1% in 3 polls etc.

As for funding, she just belatedly shifted to a full, rather than partial, grassroots funding campaign. 65,000 donors will be a shoo-in, but organization is required to be sure to meet the 20-states requirement.

More than twice the requirement. That's encouraging.
