What's this?

According to this editorial that he should avoid the debates, he is one

DNC approved poll of 10% or more away from qualifying for the next one on Feb 19.

Interesting that the editorial says he should avoid the debate, I guess because he can only do himself harm in the polls. He's going to have to face the questions about him, and show he can handle them, sooner or later, and I say the sooner the better.
