Related: About this forumDebbie Wasserman-Schultz on data breach. Is she lying
I think Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is lying about the debate schedule, saying the Saturday debate schedule was set by the networks and that six is the right number of debates. What do you think? Maybe a journalist will call the networks and find out if DWS is lying about the fact that the Saturday debates are on Saturday due to scheduling conflicts. Why are Republican debates on week nights and Democrats on Saturdays?

(3,111 posts)If the debate schedule remains as is, if the DNC shows any more evidence it is in the tank for Hillary, then if Hillary wins the nomination they will have done great damage to her ability to win in the general.
Win or lose, Sanders and I would say O'Malley people want chances for their candidates to present themselves to as many people as possible (that's what broadcast TV is for), in order to compensate for the ridiculous advantage in name recognition that Hillary Clinton has.
The DNC and Hillary Clinton should be bending over backwards to make sure this process is fair and is recognized as fair by their electorate, or they risk losing an immense amount of support in the general election.
I wish more people were informed about the candidates, particularly outside the mainstream media spin that just assumes that Hillary is the candidate. If people chose not to vote for Hillary because of these apparent shenanigans, then that is also horrible for our party, for our chances, for the country.
But people need to have their proper chance to express themselves, and with a candidate like Bernie this may be their year to draw a line in the sand and call the bluff of those who seem to just take them for granted. How do I know? Because my emotions put me in that direction myself, and I'm a Democrat for over 40 years.
I'm sure I will vote Democratic no matter what, but this is no way to run a nomination process, this is no way to treat your base, and this is what we have been treated to for years, no decades, and it's wearing very, very, very, very thin.

(3,687 posts)and THIS particular Saturday Xmas parties, start wars opening, Saturday night - which would ALWAYS be the worst viewing night of the year. I wonder if she tried to schedule a debate during the Super Bowl and blew it.
I hate to think of what cabinet position she will have if Clinton wins and how badly she'll screw that up

(12,882 posts)Why didn't Debbie apologize for letting the vendor's inept ways continue EVEN THO she/they were aware of them way back in October? AND..... they were alerted to the vulnerability BY a Sanders operative.
Sanders reeks of INTEGRITY - that's why the apology. Conversely - the Hillary / Wasserman gang doesn't know how to SPELL the word.

(19,840 posts)My favorite bit was where she tried to brush off charges of favoritism by saying that IF she were favoring Hillary she would resign the chair and go to work for Hillary's campaign-- like naturally she could be more helpful there than as a party chair sitting on top pulling all the strings. Yeah, that's logical.

(10,751 posts)...that her action in denying the Sanders campaign access to their data, was in breach of the terms spelled out in their contract, which very clearly (a) require notice to the campaign in question and (b) allow the campaign 10 days to correct the situation BEFORE further measures can be taken.
She also says "We didn't go to the press with this"... Well if that's true, I wonder who did? Because if it was someone from the Clinton campaign, that would be, as they say, veerrryyy interesting...
MrMickeysMom
(20,453 posts)She started off by carefully crafting her words about the way the debates were arranged so that the limited number wasn't tied to her as a decision, and the venues (network, cable) were something that those entities wished. Let's face it... if during the week were worked out for the Republicans, what happened to the same logic for Democrats, especially when there are more Democrats available for viewership than Republicans, if you count the number of voters, and who the working stiffs are likely to be in front of the tube on a week night.
Shen then really lied about the timing of when Sanders was informed of the breech, claiming that she did. I noticed that she left off any date. What happened in October, Debbie?
I just got another e-mail from the DNC telling me how I should support all candidates running and then asking me for funding. Know how I answered?
PLEASE RESIGN, DEBBIE WASSERMAN-SHULTZ!

Hillary - let me be the first to apologize for this process. We love you! We all know you are the entitled one. Debbie's got your back, just put up with the show and you'll be in.
Long live the Queen!

Maybe, just maybe....the crazies will follow Trump and Dough Boy out of the Republican party, forming some kind of Orwellian Freedom, Guts and Guns organization or some shit like that. The SPLC would waste no time labeling them the hate group they are. Then DWS, HRC, Jim Webb and all the blue dogs can move into the now vacant Republican digs and won't have to lie anymore about what they're really all about. And we can take the Democratic party back to it's former glory. Pipe dream, I know, but one can hope.
