purposefully scheduled few and inconveniently timed debates...so as not to give Bernie any quality air time. That really went over well...not. Same with the Corporate MSM...in on the fix.

It's certainly not over but what a stunning reversal of fortunes for both. Bernie didn't even think he stood much of a chance, either. Hillary thought she had it in the bag.

Reminds me of an old Proverb. Pride goeth before a Fall. Or, The higher they fly, the harder they fall.

This whole schedule thing did a disservice to the entire Democrat party, including the down ballots.

There probably still is time to squeeze in a debate before IA and one before NH. YEAH RIGHT!



But, seeing how screwed up the DNC is, I doubt they can walk and chew gum.

10. I feel the same way. The Clintons don't give a shit about growing the party if it hurts Hillary.

They and their fans are a blight on the democratic process and the Democratic Party of FDR.

HRC's a good debater? IIRC, there were three different focus groups we saw on the night of the first debate, and all three of them thought Bernie won the debate, much to the pundit's surprise.

And when the second debate rolled around, there were no focus groups.

9. Terrible campaign run by a terrible candidate.

The one bright spot here is that we are getting a look behind the curtain before our party makes a terrible mistake.



I hope we are collectively intelligent enough to make the correct choice.
