Nor would it be a joke without a killjoy. Fearless Aug 2015 #17

If it makes you feel better, I wouldn't lob a joke at Bernie Sanders either... brooklynite Aug 2015 #22

There was no exclusivity clause last time. bunnies Aug 2015 #15

Interesting, debates have been limited but forums have not... Spazito Aug 2015 #16

So the purpose then, is to strictly limit the candidates interaction with one another? bunnies Aug 2015 #18

Forums do have their place as well... Spazito Aug 2015 #20

I agree with you re: the exclusivity clause. bunnies Aug 2015 #21

people didn't start watching till very end of 2007 BlueStateLib Aug 2015 #32

That might be an argument for only sanctioning 6 debates. It's not an argument winter is coming Aug 2015 #33
