Curious about more debates

I can see Republicans need them, look how Rubio, and Perry in 2008, stumbled during a debate.

But when can Clinton and Sanders add? I think that most voters by now have made up their mind.

In New Hampshire, while Republican voters did not decide until the last minute, Democratic voters did a month earlier. At least, if one believes polls..

To try and repair her severely damaged reputation? That's why the DNC caved and allowed more debates? Remember how two months ago, before H made all those flubs, the DNC said NO to more debates?

So, in a desperate move to stop the H slide, DNC is changing course. Too little too late, but what good Democratic Party member is unhappy that there are more debates?

You would be surprised how many people are just now getting to know who Bernie is.
The debates help him a little with that.
It helps him and Hillary to show differences.
It helps the Dem Party to get our message out and show that our two candidates are much more intelligent, and sane, than the clowncarevangelisticrealityshowwarmongeringnutjobs.
