Lily Adams, spokeswoman for Clinton's Iowa campaign, said Clinton isn't running away from debates, but trying to use them to her advantage.

"Hillary Clinton has used the debates to do what she’s done the whole campaign: demonstrate that she is the best candidate to take on the Republicans and to address the key issues facing American families, from rising incomes to national security," Adam said. "Given her three decisive victories, we hope as many viewers as possible are watching the debates to get a real view of where she stands and how she’ll fight for them."

1. A stinky ball of lies wrapped in spin!

[cherokeeprogressive]

2. "we hope as many viewers as possible are watching..."

No. They don't.

[NCTraveler]

3. Amazing campaign she is running.

Those results are shown in poll after poll. Debates helped her. No doubt about that.

With the recent and very strange attacks from Sanders supporters, the Sanders campaign itself changing tactics over the last two weeks and now standing against everything instead of for things; I'm more confident now that it's getting really close to party time for Clinton.

14. I am amazed too, but in a very different way.

Hillary Clinton, leave our grandmothers out of it


Updated 8:48 AM ET, Wed December 23, 2015


On Tuesday morning, Hillary Clinton's campaign released a post on her campaign site with the headline "Seven ways Hillary Clinton is just like your abuela." "Abuela" is the Spanish word for "grandmother," so presumably this list was designed to appeal to potential Latino voters.

On the list were items such as, "She reads to you before bedtime" and "she had one word for Donald Trump ... 'Basta!' Enough!"

With all respect, Clinton's latest effort to connect with Latinos is beyond lame. Her campaign's list is an example of "Hispandering" at its worst. It is condescending to Latinos and has generated deserved pushback on social media.





Amazing, no doubt about it.








Just Freaking Amazing!!!!!

[Duval]

17. Ooops!! Not good, Hillary.

[Motown_Johnny]

38. Amazing campaign she is running. n/t

[roguevalley]

42. the debate schedule is a scam. her spokeswoman is a sad sack for what she said

[tazkcmo]

4. Spin spin spin

Round and round she goes, where she stops everyone knows.

[Bubzer]

34. ...

[Dustlawyer]

5. Then she should love more opportunities to reach the American people in preparation for the

General election! Why doesn't she join in the call for more debates in Prime Time?

[libdem4life]

7. Too busy Listening.

[pandr32]

24. 6 sanctioned debates are the norm

It is unsanctioned debates that are getting reined in. This whole idea that HC doesn't want debates is nonsense. Debating is one of her strengths. Don't forget how she kept her cool and train of thought together for eleven hours against Republican bullies during the latest Benghazi inquisition.

[Bubzer]

36. If it's nonsense, perhaps you can show where she's in favor of more debates?

[pandr32]

39. Did you read my post?

Why is it you are twisting this?
The first premise you are making (falsely) is that six sanctioned debates are somehow fewer than they would be if not for something nefarious. Then you come up with your conclusion based on the first false premise that HC doesn't want any more debates, becoming part of the problem that doesn't really exist. The fact is she did not call for more (she could), though she has said she would participate if more were scheduled, be they sanctioned or unsanctioned.
Here is a fact. HC does better than the other two candidates in the debates. While both BS and MOM did better in the last one than the first two, they still didn't change anything. Why, then, would the DNC go through the additional cost and trouble of scheduling any more than the six? There are still three more sanctioned debates to go.
Unsanctioned debates can be scheduled. Why not press your candidate into setting some up? Let him pay for them.

[Bubzer]

40. "This whole idea that HC doesn't want debates is nonsense" Useing your own words is twisting?

My first premise is that if hillary wants more debates, it should be easy to cite.

Thanks for trying to speak for me, but it turns out I'm very capable of speaking for myself. In fact, it would seem I have a whole life-time worth of experience doing it versus your couple-of-sentence attempt just now.

Being willing to participate in more debates is not the same as wanting more.

[99Forever]

6. Bwahahaha...

... Good one!

[Warren Stupidity]

8. Why does it seem like you have a target on your back?

[leftofcool]

9. Yes, she has won all the debates and has the clear advantage. Thank you for posting this.

[Bubzer]

41. Said no online poll ever...

[Ivan Kaputski]

10. I only wish I could have seen the debates. Could they have picked better times and days for them?

I have been able to see some online but geeze they might as well not have them at all for all the exposure they don't get.

[Motown_Johnny]

11. I support Wall Street because.. 9/11. We hunted the Chinese and crashed their meeting

etc etc etc...

[MrMickeysMom]

12. Oh, I'm SUUURREEE that's why they are limited to 6, primarily on Saturday/XMas shopping...

In fact, her handlers who are MOST familiar here have covered the debate schedule as best they could so that there's virtually no chance of hearing Bernie Sander's WIN those debates.

If there weren't such a ridiculous claim, it MIGHT be funny, but honest to Goddess, WillyT, it's fucking insane and nonsense.

Her party girlfriend, DWS has done the level best job to control the debate schedule in FEAR of the obvious winner and best suited Social Democrat.

It HURTS these people to claim anything else, but whoever is following history, including well documented 2008 presidential run DU history, knows that it's going to take an extreme amount of manipulation (hey, the got it, based on the everyone in the 1% who are in positions to control the message) to "get HRC in".

They think it's going to be that simple, and THIS is the JOKE!!!

[99th_Monkey]

19. If we even get 6. There's talk of only 4. But we'd better at least get 6

of I'll be even more pissed.

[MrMickeysMom]

44. How could you be more pissed?

Unacceptable already!

[ViseGrip]

13. So all candidates wanted more debates and she didn't. PROPAGANDA THE REGISTER IS!

[Cassiopeia]

15. Oh, that's rich.

I hope that after this primary is over the Clinton's will fade away like a cloudy sunset, never to return to a national spotlight.

[marble falls]

16. Stop you'll make yourself dizzy! Oh what the heck - hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[Duval]

18. Oh, really!! Her three decisive...ugh, just forget it!

WillyT Great post!

[SecularMotion]

20. Go Hillary!

She is the best candidate to take on the Republicans and to address the key issues facing American families, from rising incomes to national security

[mgmaggiemg]

22. I am up voting you ...you are so cool ;)

[mgmaggiemg]

21. did you see the saturday night live sketch?

did you see the victory dance on the national stage? you're buying the beer on election night HRC 2016, Cheers, Maggie

[stupidicus]

23. the advantage of being on the right side of things

is that you don't have to just make shit up -- like that

[Sunlei]

25. The 11 hours of Congress interrogation also boosted Mrs. Clinton's advantage.

[jwirr]

26. And another ha ha.

[Ilsa]

27. "rising incomes" are a key issue?

I didn't realize incomes were rising. Is that some form of subliminal messaging for billionaire voters?

[Punkingal]

28. She thinks she is the best candidate. I don't.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

29. Why do I picture the establishment talking to Biden again?

[gordyfl]

30. "It's not Right" says Howard Dean

Not allowing the candidates to debate in any non-sanctioned debates (such as set up by unions), Howard Dean says "It's not Right."

[MisterP]

37. so there'd be no problem with allowing more, then!

[Jackilope]

32. In terms of acting, this is like professional wrestling.

It is transparent and pathetic to most that realize it's all an act and not real. We are being set up by the 1%. The handlers of the actors in the ring will take our money, clean water, send us to war, point out distracting crap for us to get worked up over to avoid for us to see the scam.

Spin about limited, crappy timed debates is still circus talk. It is getting really tiring and not entertaining getting played.

[Ed Suspicious]

33. Reality is what they say it is over and over and over again.

[Sheepshank]

35. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah....

Sanders supporters think that debates are helping Bernie

[name not needed]

43. I was wondering where he ran off to...
