Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumSoooo, how soon before the DNC agrees to more debates?
Hillary is the one who needs the platform to turn her campaign around. Every discernible trend (polling, money) is running in Bernie's favor, and she's running out of time.
Joe Biden is warming up in the bullpen. . .

(11,785 posts)It will be interesting to see how the first debate plays out.

How come the last 2 debates aren't even scheduled yet? Are DWS and Hillary hoping that they won't be needed? Or just too chicken to admit now that the last two debates are contemplated, if at all, only after Super Tuesday (March 1).
On the bright side, I hope the stench from this ends Super Delegates and other means the DNC has of depriving us Democrats of democracy within our own Party, ffs. The DNC should be fucking impartial until the nominee is chosen.

(22,000 posts)It looks like they do now. Florida is March 15th and Wisconsin is April 5th. I would guess that Florida is going to be March 2nd or 3rd and Wisconsin in late March between the 16th-21st.

(26,549 posts)They are hoping to get through Super Tuesday with only 4 debates, and then skipping the last two because they became moot.
You can tell because there's very little time in February for 1 debate when you consider the primary calendar. Much less time for 2 debates.

(85,373 posts)I'm serious. These people who think they are in charge by divine right are not going to change their minds until they are removed from the Party's power structure by a revolutionary. epic failure.
If they were responsive to change on the ground, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

(22,000 posts)Why ever would the Hillary shills want to allow that (unless of course it benefits her).

(68,868 posts)her campaign is in a state of slow-motion implosion, like the air escaping a balloon through a small hole.

1) emails
2) imploding poll numbers

(45,251 posts)It's disgusting that she gets to decide.

(26,549 posts)So as soon as her SC numbers start doing what her IA and NH numbers have done.
Team Clinton will also suddenly become indignant that there are so few debates, despite spending the last few months insisting "6 is enough".

(45,251 posts)Scheduling four with the last two TBD looks like a compromise.
