All Democratic Debates Changed to Mondays at 3AM

Hillary totally benefits from the current debate schedule, and reduces the public exposure of her Democratic rivals. This is a satirical piece on what appears to be the DNC and Clinton campaign working together to lower audience numbers for Democratic debates by scheduling them at times when no one watches debates - you know, like the one on Saturday night (tomorrow).

Who benefits from lowering viewership of debates other than Hillary Clinton?

All Democratic Debates Changed to Mondays at 3AM

Hillary denies any role in Democratic debate schedule changes, claims 3AM time "complete coincidence" in no way related to political attack ad Clinton campaign ran against then-Senator Barack Obama in 2008.

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Today, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced all of the remaining Democratic presidential debates would occur on Mondays at 3AM. Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denied any involvement in the debate schedule changes, as most Americans accused her of pushing for the scheduling changes to reduce the number of Americans able to watch Clinton debate her more progressive challengers.

And...

"What's the problem now? First, everyone complained about debates being scheduled at times people don't watch debates, like the next one that was going to be on Saturday night. Now 3AM on Monday mornings is no good. Some people are just never happy," protested Wasserman Schultz.

She is the one that has been acting in a biased and unilateral way. I have an honest debate question for Hillary.


If elected POTUS will you retain DWS as DNC national chair?


I think that's a fair question that needs asked.

If she's a Republican plant, that's the only circumstance one could reasonably look at what she has done to the Democratic Party and say she has done a good job.

... he's got a more deft touch.

Oh, and he's actually a progressive, unlike your center-right preference.

I shifted my support from Clinton to Obama in 2008 when I was convinced he could beat the Republicans.

These conservatives in the Democratic Party are Wall Street collaborators, and she is one of the worst collaborators.
