downballot as well. It's a disastrously bad idea and certainly appears designed to reduce the opporunity for people to hear an opponent's ideas. It's anti-democratic and beneath her.

Also, even if for argument's sake we say you're right and Hillary wins debates, DWS wouldn't know that ahead of time.

Putting your personal preferred candidate ahead of the entire country's open access to our ideas is one of the saddest and lowest actions I've seen. She should definitely lose her job. ''
