Should there more debates? (Original Post) kstewart33 Mar 2016 OP

I agree. I don't believe the debates really sway anyone's opinions. They're a waste of time after beaglelover Mar 2016 #3
Agree, too. Same also for the Republican debates (nt) question everything Mar 2016 #9
That's the kind of stuff they will use against Bernie in a General Election too. book_worm Mar 2016 #4

that they're just repeating the same things over and over. Granted, last night we saw the clip about Bernie supporting Castro and Ortega, but without moderators like that who will dig up stuff, and that's proven unlikely, they're just a waste of time. Frankly, I'm pretty sick of hearing Bernie shout Wall Street, Wall Street, Wall Street to every question.

One of these candidates will be the nominee. At this point I think all we're doing is giving the Republicans more ammunition for this fall.

And I'm sure there is a lot more to be exposed. Every time they hit one another with something, there are Republicans everywhere taking notes.

From what I've seen the bias was atrocious!

Who needs fucking republicans when you have "democrats" like that?

Can't say anymore because then I would piss off a certain group that controls the juries around this place and it's not the Admins.

If I had to guess there will probably be one in California at some point. And maybe one or more prior to that. As to whether there should be more--probably not essential.

Bernie doesn't answer the how?

Stupid gotcha questions for HRC that only anti-HRC want to ask. Nothing to try flesh the good points only trying to rehash what republicans like to portray.

Since they're not saying anything new, I'm not paying attention any longer.

It does introduce the candidates to voters in upcoming Primary states, however, who may not have been paying attention until the Primary became imminent.

If both candidates want to, I say go for it. If they don't, then stop. But I expect that Sanders will want to go for it--he's too far behind to stand pat.
