Related: About this forumSo, only six debates and trouble for anyone who steps out of line.
Here is an idea.
No debate... A Democratic forum with those who want to share like ideas.
Show a united front on programs that all can support.
Sanders - O'malley - Chafee - two hours all talking about the things that must change.

(2,975 posts)But I'm afraid this is a trap. Participate and DWS sees to it the DNC ignores you and passively acts against you, don't and suffer only the exposure they allow while in either case they support primarily their (not our) favorite.

(108,978 posts)He could have agreed to separate debates long ago, but he's more interested in debating Clinton than the rest of the field. He's not going to jeopardize his debates with her in order to interact with the others. Which is a logical position for him to take, as frustrating as it might be to the other candidates.

Are town halls considered 'debates'? What if they had a question and answer without a moderator - would still be called a debate?
I hope someone other than you and I on the campaign teams are looking into this.
