we aren't having debates

[ibegurpard]

And DWS is emailing me to watch the Republican debates... after presiding over one of the worst electoral disasters of my lifetime in 2014. How long are we going to allow this clown to chair the DNC?

1. What does Obama say about this ?

There used to be theories around claiming that some Democrats want the Democratic Party to be in second place. Hmmmm

[HooptieWagon]

3. She accomplished that in Fla.

Even endorsed her Republican friends, when she couldn't get an ex-republican to run.
BTW, even with people leaving party in droves, Dems still outnumber Reps by over 500,000 registered voters. There's just no good candidates to vote for...party chases them out to clear the way for their 3rd Way candidates.

2. It's really too bad that there isn't a Dem debate tomorrow night.

What a great opportunity (is being missed) to demonstrate the sharp contrast, not just between political ideologies but between behaviors and mannerisms and psyches. And, I would hope, the types of questions asked. Tonight, for instance, the Republican candidates were asked what they'd like their Secret Service nickname to be, which led to an exchange between Bush and Trump that was laughably unpresidential.

The Republicans have already had 2 "debates," which equates to massive free advertising, and the first Democratic candidate debate is still a month away?!? Wow.

4. yup

It's completely outrageous. They are being given free reign to control the narrative. Again.

5. The DNC would see the party burned to the ground before serving the interests of all the candidates

[ibegurpard]

7. Not just the party

All the non-political people that I know are talking about the Republicans.

[slipslidingaway]

6. Is it the Repubs turn to win? Is there another candidate running in the Dem party ...

besides Clinton? When will the American people be introduced to the Dem candidates?

What a screw up by our party, the Repubs are getting millions of dollars of free air time.

New Yorker's will not even be allowed to register to vote for a Dem candidate after the first debate.

9. I wondered if they felt that way too, ever since W got his second term

"It's the Republican's TURN to win." As if they were in a school yard waiting to use a swing. DWS has shown she is very friendly with Republicans. She might just feel it's their TURN, and is letting the Democratic primary go to hell.

Only a pretense of a fight. They're really TAKING TURNS.

[ibegurpard]

8. we are talking about the Republicans

We are responding to the Republicans and giving oxygen to their insane ideas. It's fucking bullshit.

[restorefreedom]

10. 24 million people watched last night

we know that Wasserman Schultz is in the tank for Hillary, but where the hell is Obama? How can he stand by and let this dysfunction continue? I tend to be an evidence-based person, and the evidence is starting to lead me to believe that none of these people even want the Democrats to win. It's getting hard to reach any other conclusion. And the only thing I can draw from that is it looks more and more like Bernie is going to be the Democratic nominee, and they would rather just throw it to the Republicans this time than let Bernie get any power. when there is evidence to the contrary, I'll be happy to reassess.

[ibegurpard]

12. I don't even care about that at this point

They are unanswered in the public discourse because we aren't having any. And instead of talking about our ideas we are responding to theirs. It's the same old failed run against a repub instead of run AS a dem strategy. DWS needs to go YESTERDAY!

[liberal_at_heart]

14. They are getting arrogant and lazy. They think all they have to do is wait until the

republicans get done spouting their hatred and then point and say it's either vote for Hillary or get some bat shit crazy Republican who will take your reproductive rights away. What I can't believe is that they can be this arrogant after the 2014 loses.

[restorefreedom]

15. fiorina was right about one thing

last night. When you're in politics for so long, you can almost forget what the real world is like. I think were watching that now.

[99Forever]

11. If the Democratic party won't do something about Schultz...

.....that's on them. I will make each have and every political choice and decision with that in mind.

Without apology.

[YabaDabaNoDinoNo]

13. Debates interfere with the coronation besides why would The DNC want an informed electorate?

An informed electorate means less of a chance of corporate Dem being elected is my guess

Yes we are better off losing elections out right then electing corporate dems
