10. That's just a lousy idea. Let the GOP have the spotlight! Don't distract from this Klown Kar Krash

with "other information."

The only reason I would call that number is to tell DWS "Great job!"

You do realize they can trace your number, and they'll know it's you calling in an harassing fashion every day? It's not like the same cranks, calling over and over, represent a "groundswell."

It just makes it harder for you to get clearance for the WH tour.

Highlight:

After watching the Republican debate, I'm floored the Democrats aren't starting their debates. [View all] PatrickforO Aug 2015 OP

Um, I think you should check out yesterday's news. FSogol Aug 2015 #1

What about yesterday's news? That the first one isn't 'til Oct 13? That's too late, I'm thinking. PatrickforO Aug 2015 #3

You call for the debates to be scheduled. They were scheduled yesterday. A debate in mid-September FSogol Aug 2015 #8

Your candidate complained about the schedule Armstead Aug 2015 #40

So? FSogol Aug 2015 #96

If you can't just be outraged over a thing, then you must actually argue your point. Outrage is all Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #46

The whole GOP message is based on fear. PatrickforO Aug 2015 #215

Why is Oct. 13th too late? DesertRat Aug 2015 #179

I'd like to know, that, too. This gives time for GOP mass stupidity to sink in with the public. ancianita Aug 2015 #187

who do we have to call to get rid of pscot Aug 2015 #2

Chuckles...nt jonno99 Aug 2015 #5

the Hillary National Committee, previously known as the DNC n/t virtualobserver Aug 2015 #9

+1 JackInGreen Aug 2015 #13

Does 411 have that number? KeepItReal Aug 2015 #59

A common mistake is thinking whatever that was by Fox last night was a "debate". Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #4

4 debates. Not 6. jeff47 Aug 2015 #7

Wait....I thought there were going to be 6 debates Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #73

The last two are scheduled for after 16 states vote. jeff47 Aug 2015 #94

So there are 6 DNC-sanctioned debates. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #97

Only if you pretend the last two will not be canceled. (nt) jeff47 Aug 2015 #101

So the last two are already scheduled to be canceled? Link? nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #104

Already explained above. jeff47 Aug 2015 #106

So there are still 6 DNC-sanctioned debates. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #109

If you think tax cuts always create a booming economy, yes. jeff47 Aug 2015 #110

So there are 4 debates. Do you have a link? I want to know why the DNC cancelled two of them. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #111

Perhaps you could pull out a calendar and try to follow along. jeff47 Aug 2015 #114

The DNC said there will be 6 debates. I heard nothing about 4. Link? nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #115

So, you can't handle basic math then? jeff47 Aug 2015 #117

If the DNC changed their mind, I would like to know about it. Link? nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #118

Why do you think the DNC changed their mind? I never said they did. jeff47 Aug 2015 #122

So there actually are 6 scheduled debates. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #125

Nope. There are 4 debates. There are 2 more meaningless debates. jeff47 Aug 2015 #126

Yesterday the DNC said 6. Do you have a link to where they changed it to 4? nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #127

Yes. jeff47 Aug 2015 #129

Nothing in that link says the DNC changed the number from 6 to 4. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #131

Oh, well maybe this one will. jeff47 Aug 2015 #132

Nothing in that link says the DNC changed the number of sanctioned debates from 6 to 4. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #133

Oh, well maybe this one will help explain why. jeff47 Aug 2015 #135

Still nothing saying DNC changed the number of sanctioned debates from 6 to 4. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #136

Oh. Well maybe this one will explain the problem. jeff47 Aug 2015 #140

The DNC said they will sanction 6 debates, not 4. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #141

And there's a problem with their schedule. As explained by this link. jeff47 Aug 2015 #142

Nothing @ that link says the DNC changed the number of sanctioned debates. Still @ 6. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #143

Hence the word "problem". jeff47 Aug 2015 #144

You said there will be 4 debates. The DNC has said there will be 6 sanctioned debates, not 4. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #146

Despite what the DNC is currently claiming, there will be 4 debates. jeff47 Aug 2015 #151

DNC said 6, not 4. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #153

Holy crap, I'm the DNC?! Oh wait...I'm not. jeff47 Aug 2015 #156

The DNC said there will be 6 debates. I heard nothing about 4. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #158

Except repeatedly in this thread. Complete with a discussion of how the DNC jeff47 Aug 2015 #167

There is no actual proof in this thread that the DNC changed the number from 6 to 4. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #169

Good thing I never claimed they did!! jeff47 Aug 2015 #170

You said there will be 4. DNC said 6. You have no link to back up your claim. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #172

I would only need a link if I was claiming the DNC said 4. jeff47 Aug 2015 #173

You said the DNC will only have 4 (no proof provided). DNC says 6. Who to believe? Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #174

How 'bout the one who actually shows you a schedule jeff47 Aug 2015 #175

DNC says 6, and they will release additional details. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #176

They have released details. Their details do not allow enough time to get all 6 in. jeff47 Aug 2015 #177

Details so far: Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #178

And I pointed out there is not enough time in February to fit in 2 debates. jeff47 Aug 2015 #180

Who to believe, the DNC or an anonymous poster on the interwebz. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #182

Well, who's got the better track record? jeff47 Aug 2015 #192

You're nothing more than an anonymous poster with no proof to back your claim. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #195

Then it would be so easy for you to show where those two debates fit in. jeff47 Aug 2015 #197

DNC says 6 sanctioned debates, not 4: Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #201

And their schedule does not allow all 6 to occur. jeff47 Aug 2015 #204

Yet you provide no proof the DNC has cancelled any of the debates. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #205

Do you not understand the difference between future tense and past tense? jeff47 Aug 2015 #207

Do you not understand the difference between 6 and 4? nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #208

Your patience is astoundingly admirable with dealing with CT, Cali! Cha Aug 2015 #202

Thank you. I try my best Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #206

"Basic math" OilemFirchen Aug 2015 #181

Would only be relevant if "throwing them away" caused them to not exist. jeff47 Aug 2015 #185

It's not an analogy. OilemFirchen Aug 2015 #186

Yup. Agschmid Aug 2015 #189

First, counting is still math. jeff47 Aug 2015 #191

You still have no real proof the number of DNC-sanctioned debates fell from 6 to 4. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #193

Do you have a time machine? 'Cause that's about the only way to fit them in. (nt) jeff47 Aug 2015 #194

Still no real proof the number of sanctioned debates fell from 6 to 4. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #196

I'm kind of stupid let's see if I get what you are saying SwampG8r Aug 2015 #198

Almost. I'm saying the last two will be canceled after Super Tuesday. (nt) jeff47 Aug 2015 #199

OK I hadn't taken an outright SwampG8r Aug 2015 #203

The notion that two will be cancelled is nothing more than speculation with a little CT Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #210

Not anymore. (For the next 24h anyway) AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #159

Wasn't my alert. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #162

I haven't alerted a single one of your posts in this thread. Also, I'm a he. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #161

My apologies. I had you confused with someone else. (nt) jeff47 Aug 2015 #165

Apology accepted, but still no link proving the DNC changed the number from 6 to 4. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #166

But, he was soooooooo Sure.. just like the "4 debates instead of 6" theory Cha Aug 2015 #214

Making personal again... Agschmid Aug 2015 #155

I don't mean to jump in here between you two but there is no need to be obtuse. Juicy_Bellows Aug 2015 #116

So there are 6 scheduled debates. nt Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #120

It's a mistake to believe she doesn't understand. She's fishing for a hide. (nt) jeff47 Aug 2015 #121

Well I tried. Juicy_Bellows Aug 2015 #123

Thanks for trying. (nt) jeff47 Aug 2015 #124

Betcha it felt real nice to get that insult in. Agschmid Aug 2015 #138

that's their MO.. must think it helps getting their point across.. when actually is says everything Cha Aug 2015 #217

plenty enough for Hillary virtualobserver Aug 2015 #12

Common mistake thinking last night was a "debate". Seriously, it is early August, 2015. 2015. Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #15

The exclusivity rule is totalitarian, not Democratic virtualobserver Aug 2015 #23

Good point 7962 Aug 2015 #95

"6 actually debates is plenty enough" whatchamacallit Aug 2015 #34

Why do you go from one extreme to the other? frylock Aug 2015 #119

You know, Jeff47 makes a pretty good point below. PatrickforO Aug 2015 #216

First Dem date is schedule for October. winter is coming Aug 2015 #6

I think it's great strategy to let the 17-member nut panel play itself out frazzled Aug 2015 #14

By the time we start, they'll be bored with debates, period. winter is coming Aug 2015 #17

There are no swing voters frazzled Aug 2015 #19

This is the primary not the general. Agschmid Aug 2015 #33

Yeah, it is a big deal. There would be no need for an exclusivity clause winter is coming Aug 2015 #49

IMO nothing turns off voters than rediculous debates like we saw last night. Agschmid Aug 2015 #53

No, nothing turns off you. You are not "voters". jeff47 Aug 2015 #168

Your darned right! The exclusivity clause really sucks. PatrickforO Aug 2015 #212
