I CANNOT wait for the Democratic debates...getting antsy



We can then show the republicans how adults actually talk to each other.. how adults debate issues looking for the one person who can best fulfill our platform..

I wish we had more.. I wish we were out there now, letting our voices be heard..

We have to have more than 2 after the Iowa caucuses Feb. 1st.. have to .. absolutely have to.. so the unaligned 40% can hear our message.

voices need to be heard.

You created a post criticizing the lack of debates without bashing any candidate, well done.

Hillary needs to know that by forcing DWS to limit the debates, she is pissing people like me off who support her if Bernie loses.

Forcing is the wrong word, DWS is gladly doing it, of course.

The right is getting all kinds of free passes because our people are not debating...even when they respond.. it just does not get the air time the debates get.. the pre debate..post debate coverage.. we have shot ourselves in the foot so to speak..
