The Week: Why 2016 Democrats need more debates

The Week: Why 2016 Democrats need more debates

1. It would stop Republicans from dominating 2016 coverage

2. It would give the political press something to talk about besides the endless, pointless Clinton email story

3. Clinton could probably use the practice

Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a certain Clinton supporter, has declared that there will only be six debates, period, and that any candidate who participates in non-DNC debates will get kicked out of the official ones. It smells very much like a classic Clinton hack's effort to protect her from criticism. But the only person she's hurting with that stance is the Democratic frontrunner herself.

Clinton needs to get out there and start mixing it up.


Not my reasons, but I'll take them.
