I dont think he will. Yes, I despise Clinton and I am not a Bernie fan boy. I would prefer he scare her a bit and the party is doing their best to prevent that. Thats what I find annoying.

I believe he would scare the hell out of her if there were more debates or debates during times people actually watch. Scare her in a few primaries and eventually get blown out is how I imagine it would play out.


If the objective is for Bernie to scare Hillary and eventually gain the nomination, fair enough. But then what? You have a candidate on the democratic ticket for the general election that the majority of the voting populace has been led to believe (rightly or wrongly) is a socialist who will take America away from it's capitalist principals. Too risky if, like me, the idea of another Republican in the White House with the potential to dramatically re-shape the construct of the Supreme Court, as well as undue the progress of the last eight years, is really scary.


Sanders isn't about getting rid of capitalism.


Perhaps not, but most people don't realize that or believe it.

She has very detailed plans for almost everything. If you'd like to know what she wants to do for the country, please read them, or watch any of her major policy speeches.

I'm confident you won't do any of that.


Nor will the average American voter because - NEWS FLASH - they are not very well read. She is TERRIBLE at explaining it. Instead, she choses to be quiet during the debates and let Bernie spout out his gazillion plans that he has no explanation of how we will pay for it all.


Funny, I haven't at all noticed Hillary being quiet during the debates. I guess we watch different ones or something. I find it easy to understand her plans, except for the financial ones because I know little about that field. So she can't be that terrible at explaining.

But since you're better informed than the average American voter, please go read her plans and watch a few recent speeches. Then come back and tell us you don't know what she plans to do.

He's not, I agree, but when he was asked if he's a capitalist, he said, "No, I'm a Democratic socialist." He chose to frame it that way.

DWS is a fraud. To bury these debates to maximize little viewership and interest is absurd. This is some stupid version of saving your "best" player for the playoffs by protecting her from prime time and possibly looking silly.

Dems dont need to have 900 debates like the GOP. At least have them on during the week so people can watch and see what the party offers thats different than the other side.

If this nonsense was done in 2008, Obama probably would have never gotten the nomination since nobody would see him perform in debates. Much like Bernie, all the momentum Obama would have built would have died by the lack of debates and do nothing by the DNC.

Shameful.


I don't think the DNC is a joke, but I see your point. I thing Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been in the Hillary camp for a while and doesn't want her chances challenged. So far, the debates have done nothing but bolster Hillary's candidacy, so I don't see the harm in having more of them.


DWS and HRC are. . . not friends. I think that's widely known. I suspect HRC would love to replace DWS with Jennifer Granholm.

Yes, the debates clearly bolster Hillary's candidacy. She agreed to do more.

Wahh, wahh, wahh. Just another Republican starting to cook up some conspiracy theory to explain why America is going to vote against your candidates again. Instead of making up more conspiracy theories, you should look at the obvious answer: Your candidates offer no constructive messages. Their platforms are mostly based around fear, hate, and divisiveness. Those are rarely winning messages.

I actually think the debates hurt Bernie and help Hillary. She comes of cool, collected, and capable. He seems to rant. I agree with his positions on MANY things, but when I see him in a debate, I worry about his ability to actually lead the country.

It's really up to him to show that his candidacy is something more than him trying to pull Hillary to the left by lengthening out the process. That may be something you desire, but parties are made to get people elected, and they aren't that interested in sacrificing that goal.



I do think he's doing more than trying to pull Hilary to the left. I believe he thinks he can win. And honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he did. I think I'd prefer him to Hillary, but I would be happy with either. Cruz and Trump truly terrify me.

Well Sanders just got busted for downloading her private voter data today, which I am sure scared her. So there is that.


Can you imagine outrage if the Clinton campaign had done this?
