12. Lighten up and make less assumptions

I surely did know that. And I also know that is not enough.

If Hilary wants the support of the Democrats who think more debates are the only way to go, she should explicitly ask for them. Then the debates would happen.

If she really wants the support of Democrats everywhere, I am suggesting she should be careful of this appearing to be a rigged game. Because some folks not only like Bernie and his positions, they are simply crazy over the top for them. If thwarted by an unfair process, they very well may not turn out next year. That would be a disaster, like the disasters the DNC has already orchestrated the past few elections through the same leadership.

My post was an appeal to Hillary supporters to get on the side of this that is more likely to lead to a unified Democratic Party next year.

Now, if the belief is that she simply cannot win that way, that is another story. But that is not my belief.

Why not have more free and fair debates like most commentators are saying makes far more sense than the current limited schedule at odd times?
