Dates for last 2 debates

[Ino]

It looks like we have some firm dates for the last two debates:

Thursday, Feb 11, in Wisconsin

Wednesday, March 9, in Miami

I guess St. Patrick's Day wasn't available.

[Fawke Em]

1. Wisconsin in February?

[jfern]

2. The 6th one is after quite a lot of states have voted

DWS is hoping that Bernie will be out of the race by then, so there will only be 5 debates.

[Ino]

3. OFGS, yes!

Almost half the states will have voted by then!

[SoLeftIAmRight]

4. they should of had all the debates after the vote

wtf

[NurseJackie]

5. Not on a Friday or Saturday! Just what "everyone" wanted!

But, I imagine that someone will find something to complain about anyway. Just goes to show, you can't please everyone.

[cali]

7. How about debates before states start voting? Why not a single one in January?

Fuck the slimy DNC.

[NurseJackie]

8. See what I mean? You can't please everyone.

There's always someone who's gonna complain no matter what.

[cali]

9. I see that you are incapable of a cogent response

But you are awfully good at issue free cheerleading.

[NurseJackie]

10. As I said ... you can't please everyone!

[Blue_Adept]

12. We've already had four

I'm sure the candidates prefer to be on the ground doing what's necessary to press the flesh and get the votes out.

[Eric J in MN]

18. We've had three debates.

Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley would rather be addressing millions of people at-a-time in a televised debate than however many fit into one room.

[Blue_Adept]

19. Then you'd think we'd hear them advocating for more debates at each stop

While I hear that from O'Malley in a few tweets and press releases, that's about it.

The call for more debates is a dead issue. The two leading candidates are fine with the schedule. It's not going to change.

But people love pissing in the wind.

[Eric J in MN]

21. DWS wouldn't change her mind if

...Sanders and O'Malley called for more debates at every stop.

The people in the audience to see those candidates have no say over it.

[Blue_Adept]

24. So Sanders and O'Malley aren't standing up for what they believe in?

I thought they were the principled ones that would fix everything.

[Eric J in MN]

17. There is one this month. January 17, 2016. NT

NT

6. What a joke. Fuck the DNC

13. The alert swarm failed:

AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service
On Mon Jan 4, 2016, 02:41 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

What a joke. Fuck the DNC
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=973591

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Wait, what? This is still Democratic Underground.
The DNC's central focus is on campaign and political activity in support of Democratic Party candidates, and not on public policy. The TOS specifically states Vote For Democrats. It should not be okay to depress support for the DNC or Democratic candidates here on DU. A little community standards could go a long way in pulling people together on this forum instead of the prevailing divisiveness.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Jan 4, 2016, 02:47 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: What the? How the hell is this a tos violation? If you are so worried about divisiveness you should STOP ALERT TROLLING BERNIE SUPPORTERS.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The DNC is an entity which is certainly not immune to criticism, especially not with Debbie Wasserman Schultz in charge; who herself allies with Republicans when convenient.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: We are allowed to have an opinion about the dnc and express it here. Stop alert stalking. Grow up. Discuss issues.

[Ned_Devine]

27. Can we please start requiring the alerter to reveal him/herself?

This story is so old. By the way, most of you HRC supporters here are so awful that most of us have you hidden so we don't have to deal with your bullshit anymore.

[beam me up scottie]

28. I can't believe 3 people voted to hide that post.

Oh, wait, yes I can.

They've been alert stalking cali for months.

[Ned_Devine]

29. Before this year, I'd only blocked one person in my 12 years here...

...and of course that was back in 2008

[nc4bo]

30. That silly alert result shouldn't even have been that

Close. There's a "tell" there.

Seriously

[beam me up scottie]

31. Indeed.

That was a dishonest alert too, I hope they're proud of themselves.

[nc4bo]

32. Absolutely true. nt

[Warren Stupidity]

14. FYI - another failed alert.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[Major Hogwash]

20. I agree.

The only reason they are having so few debates is so that they can try and control the process even more than they already did in past years.

6 freakin' debates!

If Hillary loses the first 5 primaries, you can bet your bottom dollar that she will be the one who will be calling for more debates!

[Vinca]

11. Midnight or 1 a.m.?

[NurseJackie]

15. Ooooo! That's right... those pesky time zones!!

Prime time on the west coast is too late on the east coast. Prime time on the east coast is too early on the west coast.

And don't even get me started about Hawaii! If only there was some device that would allow people to record things on TV and watch it later.

[reformist2]

16. I'm suprised one of them wasn't on Super Bowl Sunday...

[NCTraveler]

22. First one might hit a weather delay. Nt

[tritsofme]

23. By March 9 there's a good chance Sanders/O'Malley already dropped out, and Hillary has it locked up

I would be pretty surprised if that debate actually happens.

Incredibly poor scheduling for these debates.

[neverforget]

25. It's a feature, not a bug. nt

[orpupilofnature57]

26. At least it's not the Saturday before Christmas, Debbie must be getting the E-mails .
