Trying to rig the process in Clintons favor by DWS is turning out to be more of a scandle than the stupid e-mail stuff.This is going to backfire and bite them in the ass.That's my take on this

(19,326 posts)when he "agreed" to the 6 debates, when DNC went through the motions of
"clearing" the debate schedule with known Democratic candidates. It's this
kind of shit that rots the Democratic party from the inside out.
Excuse me for believing O'Malley, and not DWS.
This kind of tawdry slip-shod manipulative behavior is disgusting,
making me ashamed to call myself a Democrat, but a Democrat I am.

(39,961 posts)It's pure horseshit that we haven't had a debate yet. Hell, the deadline for people in some states to register with the Democratic Party so that they can vote for the primary is Oct. 8th - 5 days before the first debate.
Who the hell concocted this "masterplan"?

(19,326 posts)who set the schedule. Team Hillary is passing the blame & pain around, so
it's a moving target. Maybe next week it will be Biden's turn to say he did it,
which would make some sense, since it sounds like he's going to announce
any day now, just in time for first debate.

She basically is saying "I'm incompetent as the head of the DNC so I'm going to play games with the debate schedule so that Hillary Clinton will get the nomination by limiting the other four candidates' ability to speak on policy issues during the debates."

(39,961 posts)Democracy looks like.
This is stupidity by the DNS and DWS in 5 foot neon letters.
Even Hillary supporters should be pissed off by this, because it looks like she is in collusion with DWS to throw things in her favor. Great candidates stand by themselves, and this rigging by DWS implies that she doesn't have faith in the candidates abilities to debate competently.
