Bloomberg: Top Democrat Anita Dunn Defends Debate Schedule

Former Obama adviser Anita Dunn says six debates are enough for Democrats and accuses critics of the calendar of practicing “revisionist history” for suggesting primary debates in 2008 helped prepare the future president for his general-election bouts with Senator John McCain.

“Anybody who worked for Barack Obama in 2008 is not going to sit here and say, 'Oh, you really need 25 debates,'” Dunn said in an interview with Bloomberg's With All Due Respect co-host John Heilemann. While a protracted nomination battle running into June 2016 could force more debates to be added later, she said, “I think that six is a good number right now.”
