Even a rudderless boat would be better than one being steered over a waterfall.

Has nothing to do with my point. If Sanders is declared the "winner" and no one watched it or is reporting on it then what difference does it make?

"Stellar job you're doing DWS (although a certain candidate probably thinks it's to her adavantage) "

Another certain candidate Sanders probably is working for his advantage also. A common talking point rebutted by the same.

Odds are, though, they're not that astoundingly high. Nothing on MSBNC is, really. It will be made up, mostly, of people who are very interested in politics. I suspect most of them already have made up their mind about the Democratic primary.

I couldn't watch it, due to other commitments. But, I know for whom I'm voting anyhow, so I might not have watched, even if I had been able.

After it ended, I called several people I know who are interested in the *debates* and they had no idea it was on. Every single one of them missed it.

The DNC, pretty much owned by the Third Way, doesn't need anyone understanding that there's a great alternative to that candidate of no-inspiration. They're banking on name recognition to win it for her and want to make sure no other names are recognized in the voting booth.

However they're sabotaging her as well. What are people talking about right now? The Republicans.
