[bigdarryl]

Said it on MSNBC with Alex Wagner.He said he still thinks there will be more debates regardless what the DNC says.He said they need to get rid of the excursions rule that was put in place after he left.

1. Exactly. Restore the right to unsanctioned debates.

2. Hillary supporter Dean limited the debates?

No surprise.
The Establishment dems rally to protect Hillary

[bigdarryl]

4. He did this before Hillary even thought about running

There thinking was in 2012 the republicans had so many debates that Romney came out of the primary bruised and battered and never recovered.Which is nonsense Allan Lichtman predicted before.he knew who was running on the Republican side that Obama had enough keys in his favor to win reelection

5. Hillary was not thinking about running in 2012?

Oh, please. IMO she has been thinking about it since 2008. (I voted for her in that weird Florida primary, but issues that I had not thought about back then are what make me a Bernie supporter).

6. She's been dreaming of becoming President since LONG before 2008 lol. n/t

3. This, from Mr. Has-Been-Populist-Turned-Third-Way Hillary supporter, comes as no surprise. nt

7. Then he was fucking stupid too.

9. So who's responsible for the exclusivity clause?

10. it was a bad idea. Even Nancy Pelosi thinks mmore debates are a good idea.

Pelosi joins calls to add more Democratic primary debates


"Hillary does well -- I think they all do well on them -- and we should have more debates," said Pelosi, who has praised Clinton but not officially endorsed her.

"They thought 26 was too many, and I think it is, and you probably should have something in between," Pelosi added, referring to the marathon debate schedule during Clinton's first run in 2008. "But I don't know that we're going to have more debates."

11. Six debates is MORE than enough... but the exclusionary rule is stoopid. nt
