So, there's no time set for the October 13 debates?

Is this a difficult thing? Could somebody get Debs a watch and teach her the difference between the big hand and the little hand? Seriously, what the hell? Everyone's trying to set up debate parties and nobody knows what the starting time is.

One might think that she doesn't want people to watch the debate. Wonder why that would be.

Until the second debate start time.

That's why she's so worried about it cutting into 'campaign' time.

of "hide the debate". she is doing everything possible to keep viewership low.. and we know why.

too bad it is going to be live streamed in virtual reality

Oh. My. Fucking. God. Do all Hillary Clinton Supporters really think people are seriously THAT fucking stupid? CNN isn't the the entity that's HAVING the debate, they're only AIRING the debate. CNN is in the business of making MONEY. So, how much intelligence does it take to understand CNN would want it in PRIME TIME?

Prime time makes sense.

I have no idea whether all Hillary Clinton supporters think that. I'm not a mind reader.

Isn't that usually the time they pick for a weekday debate? I'd be pretty surprised if it were not within half an hour of that time.

With the exception of the kiddie-table debates the GOP has had, debates usually start around 8 or 9pm EST. Although it wouldn't surprise me if DWS has set them up to be at some other time when fewer people will see the debates live.

Maybe she will try to schedule it at 12:01 am thinking that Bernie will be tired and not do well.
