Prediction:The date of the Jan. 17th debate will be changed

Reason: I read a post yesterday that stated the DNC had 3 weeks to answer the Sanders campaign lawsuit. That makes the return date Jan. 12th-the Monday before the debate. I'm thinking a week sooner or several weeks later will sound better to DWS...


Edit Monday the 11th is the correct date
