Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton on Saturday suggested she's open to more presidential debates, amid pushback from her competitors about the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) light schedule.
"I am open to whatever the DNC decides to set up. That's their decision," she said during a stop in New Hampshire. "I debated a lot in 2008 and I would certainly be there with lots of enthusiasm and energy if they decide to add more debates, and I think that's the message that a lot of people are sending their way."

O'Malley's campaign quickly pounced on Clinton's comments. John Bivona, the New Hampshire state director for O'Malley for President, said that "it is time for Chairwoman Wasserman-Schultz and the Democratic National Committee to take themselves out of this process and end the unprecedented exclusivity rule."

Schultz's dirty trick of rigging the debate schedule looks bad for Hillary, and she sees that. She has no choice but to say this, knowing it is about to blow up in DWS face.

(19,326 posts)esp since Hill's statement is oh .. "whatever the DNC decides", not "I agree 100%
with O'Malley and Sanders that the NDC needs to schedule more debates,
and/or remove exclusion rule."

On top of it, she is stopping Obama's Iran deal, so I expect if she doesn't resign, Obama will have her replaced. Most likely by another Clinton surrogate, but one not so openly corrupt and in openly in Hillary's back pocket.
