Congratulations to Rachel Maddow. I'm going to trust that she will be fair to all of the candidates on the stage and not bend questions toward or away from candidates she may like or dislike more than others. I believe she will do a great job.

I just read that this will be a forum, not a debate, meaning that the candidates will not be on stage at the same time.
Debbie W-S's edict of few debates with an exclusivity clause is bullshit and a genuine disservice to the party as a whole. It is, however, advantageous for her candidate of choice in their effort to claim victory based largely on name recognition (meaning the OTHER candidates are not very well known) before a single vote has been cast.
And here I thought democracy had broken out ...
