Wait and see if Sanders wins Iowa. If he doesn't, more debates is a waste of time.

Hillary wanted as few debates as possible. Oh, wait, that was when she thought she'd be coronated; I guess reality has finally set in...

Actually, that was only DWS's idea, at least in the last few months. Hillary said around October that she wasn't afraid of debating and "open" to adding to the debate schedule.

She said that; it doesn't mean she was actually willing to.

Debbie was involved with Hillary's campaign, she is more of a stooge. Multiple sources say she vetoed proposals. Why did she NEVER aggressively this hard for a debate zeroing on a date, location & calling Bernie out harshly. When Sanders called for debates for months, Clinton campaigned uttered no word & their proxy DNC said 6 is optimum, people watch on Saturdays and what not.

Now Hillary is like - Sanders should agree, WE would get the DNC to arrange. Why did she veto & never shown any INTEREST earlier when Sanders was calling for debates.

I have no idea how can people support such a morally bankrupt person. Hillary = Lesser & more gentle version of Trump

I'm consistently annoyed by your posts. Not because of the actual content, but because of that fake logo. It is poorly made, with that paperthin white line between the middle line of the H and the 'head' of the arrow going downwards.

Well hopefully there's an easy way to cancel the April and May ones after it's clear by mid-March that Clinton will be the nominee.

There should have been more debates from the start, and move them from non-Saturday dates please?

I mean... her campaign headquarters in in Brooklyn, so I don't think she has anything against it.

I don't think the Hillary campaign wants to admit that she's not going to totally landslide New York.

At least as of a few hours ago, the issue of whether the proposed NH debate this Thursday will actually go ahead had still not been resolved.  It sounds like Sanders is still holding out for more from Clinton:

Given the track record so far it will not surprise me if the DNC decided to hold the next debate at the same time as the Superbowl.

Bernie got Hillary to agree to 3 more debates after NH (4 including NH) @ not Weekends or Super Bowl or Big games, so that's a plus. But Clinton is playing hardball asking for debates on only her locations. Bernie agreed to her locations, she should agree to New York, it's where she has spend her entire political career, her campaign office is located.

If she refuses New York, Bernie may not agree to may squeeze her. Frankly it makes no sense, Bernie will win NH anyway, better focus on his ground game where Clinton is very very strong

I'd like to see an all-party debate.  Five hours.  No dodging.  Intense, white-hot light shines on the candidate as he or she speaks.  No podia, chairs, or desks.  Candidates stand on a one meter by one meter by one meter block of granite.  Candidates may request assistance on and off the block for toilet breaks or cigarette breaks.  Debate continues during their absence.  No Commercials.  Audience members who clap, cough, cheer, heckle, laugh, or make any audible sounds are to be escorted from the hall immediately.  If a question is evaded, the moderator must stand and say loudly, "You have evaded the question.  You must either answer it now or exit the stage immediately."  Invited candidates should include, but not be limited to, Sanders, Clinton, Cruz, Trump, Rubio, Paul, Christie, a Libertarian, a Green, and a Socialist.  The moderators should be the Bill Clinton, Bill O'Reilly, Bill Nye, and the guy who played Frasier.  The moderators will not see the questions in advance, but each moderator may follow up each scripted question with an original question.  The questions will be written by a team of eleven posters (including banned former posters) from Dave Leip's US Election Atlas forum who will meet each day for one week to agree upon 200 questions and rank them for importance.
