There may be more contact in this round of Democratic presidential debates – including from the network host.

Half the candidates are staring at the end of the line with the September contests requiring at least 2% support in four polls to qualify.

Candidates will certainly want to stand out – but if they don’t play by the rules – they’ll be docked. CNN says it will cut a candidate’s speaking time if they consistently interrupt others.

The debates air at 8 p.m. eastern Tuesday and Wednesday with 10 candidates each night.
