Excluded from the debates, Bullock plots an increasingly unlikely path to the White House by blrshepherd
NEW YORK — On Tuesday, the bulk of the Democrats running for president were prepping for the first debate after the start of the impeachment inquiry. Sen. Elizabeth Warren took a walk around Columbus. Entrepreneur Andrew Yang threw a ball around with staff on Otterbein University’s lawn. But Steve Bullock, the only governor of the group, was hundreds of miles away from the spin room. He watched his rivals duke it out onstage at home with his family.
Bullock, a Democratic governor from a Republican state, did not hit the DNC’s threshold for the Ohio event — not a new phenomenon for the candidate. He announced his bid in May and was unable to qualify for the first, jam-packed Democratic debate in June or the third round in Houston. Bullock’s calculus is a lot more traditional, one that forgoes viral headlines and breakout moments in favor of face time in consequential states like Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. It’s a well-worn strategy, and one that many of his top-tier rivals are doing with ratcheted-up staffing numbers.Yet it’s also one that has not yielded huge national polling numbers for Bullock: 0.2 percent, according to RealClearPolitics.

It is not set up for actually making sure that you can get things done.”“I'll be on CNN later today, MSNBC tomorrow; I'll continue to do those efforts to both connect with people and raise that visibility.”
