20. More debates would help Hillary. Despite her campaign and DNC
Sun Aug 30, 2015, 08:59 AM

playing the game to support her Inevitable Nominee role.

Look at what Hillary is offering: Four More Years of Obama Policies.

People don't like peace and prosperity? Gradual change? Blaming the Republicans suddenly ain't the truth of the situation?

If Hillary had a dozen debates for her platform, most likely she would end up absorbing two ro three of Bernie's positions and otherwise running as an Obama surrogate. That's a winner.

Without the debates that is much harder to carry out. There's no focus.

Same time if the email fiasco blows up, it's going to be her aides doing cut-and-paste with classified information. Taking Top Secret items and moving them to emails in Hillary's server. That's not Hillary doing anything illegal -- it's a total disaster anyway.

Car hits tree and 60 mph kind of disaster. And at that point a debate would let Hillary issue a mea culpa and say that her aides were not trained properly on handling this material vs. the vagaries of server management. It's not their game. They had no idea.

Without the debate format? Without that neutral forum? Crash.
