Hillary couldn't handle 13 debates.

[wouldsman]

At this point in the election cycle of 2007 we were at 13 or 14 debates already. If Hillary is on stage next to two highly principled people like Bernie and Martin for too long everyone will start to see right through her.

1. ..

2. Which is why we have six, some on Saturdays.

The debate schedule was clearly designed to her advantage.

[restorefreedom]

8. yup. dws must have been promised something good. nt

[morningfog]

11. We really only have 3.

This is the second, the other scheduled "debate" was not a debate but a "forum" with only one candidate onstage at a time.

There is only one more debate scheduled before Super Tuesday.

[TDale313]

14. Yeah, iirc the other three were tbd. n/t

[merrily]

16. Did we get dates for the final 2? I think they're both after Super Tuesday anyway.

[Evergreen Emerald]

3. Wow you must be on some good drugs

That cause delusion!

4. She won the popular vote in 2008 after 27 debates.

7. there is NO primary popular vote

Some states do caucuses, some do primaries. In some caucus states, there was nothing that could be said to be the votes. This didn't matter because delegates are how they are suppose to be added. Some caucus states were not included in the total at all and the rest were far underweighted. It was adding apples and oranges.

There was no talk of the primary vote in 2008 until HRC under performed on super tuesday.

[mythology]

10. She lost the delegate count by around 100

Granted that is after giving full delegate counts to Florida and Michigan, but it wasn't a blow out for Obama. He had a much better plan and won based on that, but Hillary was close the entire way, even if consistently a bit behind.

[karynnj]

13. I agree it is close, but I really really did not want to let

The fiction of the "primary popular vote". I do get why HRC people floated it in 2008 as justification to possibly having a disproportionate number of super delegates going with the winner of that primary vote. THat did not happen. They went mostly to the winner of the most regular delegates.

[joshcryer]

12. Clinton's delegates seated in the DNC represented a larger population.

Than the delegates seated representing Obama.

This is a fact.

Regardless Clinton did not try to force a brokered convention, and she busted her ass campaigning for Obama.

[merrily]

17. +1

[Sheepshank]

5. Silly.....

But you are entitled to that opinion. Live it up.

[Thinkingabout]

6. Can you handle eleven hours of testimony?

[wouldsman]

19. I think I could

But if after 11 hours of testimony you can't change anyone's mind you might need 17 months more.

[Thinkingabout]

20. Wasn't trying to change minds but she has gotten great reviews and had an opportunity to show she is

Very capable of being president or anything else she wants.

[Metric System]

9. Bwahaha.

[ismnotwasm]

15. ???

That makes zero sense.

[revmclaren]

18. ?????

GOTV

[Historic NY]
