(3,111 posts)Anyone who asserts that this debate schedule isn't a little bit weird, if one actually wanted people to watch, tune in, learn, and become informed, is either not paying attention or would have to be accused of being at the very least obtuse.
To any regular person, this has to be seen as a rigged process, for certain reasons that are not clear but do not seem to be for the good of informing the people of this country who is running.
And then, the only real reason that no changes to the schedule can or have been considered is because Debbie Wasserman Schultz has made up her mind, and that is that. Now if that isn't a sick way to run a Party when substantial number of members are complaining about the process, I don't know what is.
I know that this debate schedule will have consequences, and they won't be pretty for the Democratic Party.
If the Democratic Party wants to run itself as corruptly as the rest of what many of us rail against, they are really playing with fire.
They should remedy the situation by reaching out to the candidates that want more debates and by trying to come up with a reasonable schedule ASAP. Otherwise, they are simply counting on people having nowhere else to go. What a pathetic excuse for a way to lead, to show you are the best, to govern, to run a political party or a country.
