Hillary clinton. the d.n.c., i think has a good chairman, tom perez, weve had victories in elections, that is the important thing lately. on this quotaa system, i would have done it differently. when i ran in 2008, there was seven candidates, we had, i dont know, maybe 20 debates. we all would appear. toward the end, only quota was only had four candidates appear in new hampshire, top four in iowa and i made it as the fourth, but then i was fourth again in new hampshire, i had to get out because...

About it. i think the d.n.c. in their right mind have to do limitations. there is a few, 23 candidates. >> harris: that means an unknown among them. >> i am about diversity, i think 23 is plenty. the threshold has to be bigger -- >> harris: speaking of diversity, mayor of new york, deblasio says we are squashing diversity. the hill is reporting that 20 of them have met one qualifying threshold, which is max number the d.n.c. will allow on stage. those who dont make it will likely find their camp...
