41. If Debbie is really that stupid - to put debates on at the times she did

Sun Jan 17, 2016, 06:37 PM

Jan 2016

expecting to "to maximize the opportunity for voters to see our candidates" then she's proven she really hasn't got a friggin' clue and should resign immediately.

Fact is the co-chair of the Clinton campaign is just doing what her candidate did this week and for much of her political career: lying.

Her candidate had a big lead and the schedule was to minimize anyone seeing a debate that could cut into that big lead. Sanders wasn't well known and co-Clinton campaign chair Debbie wants to keep it that way (which is why you need to be wary of the national polls).
