Two possible reasons I havent see discussed as to why Hillary reneged on CA debate.

1 - It's very possible that after such a long primary she is too exhausted to debate. Unlike Bernie who has built up reserves of stamina from his years doing long-distance running, Hillary just doesn't have the same reserves. If you recall, Huma commented in an email how annoyed she was that Hillary often complained of how exhausted she was. If Hillary felt continually exhausted back then when she was SoS how would it be different now? I'm not saying she has zero energy but it is possible that it's flagging.

2 - The other reason for backing out of the debate is that all her energy is being focused on prepping and being coached for the FBI interview. Answers need to be carefully crafted and that takes time.

Terry McAuliffe, Wang and Hillary's brother Tony were all involved in

Green Tech Automotive which was investigated by the SEC - all very complicated. I'm not saying there is any connection to the recent breaking story about McAuliffe and Wang but it's an interesting sidebar.

The Free Beacon has a concise strictly factual overview of the Green Tech story and the roles of each of the three but I believe FreeB is a no-no at DU so I won't be posting any link.

Why is it justifiable to censor (hide) an opinion by a well-known Black commentator?

Yesterday I posted a you tube of the Smoking Glass Hour, using as the same thread title that is at You Tube which BTW is a direct quote of Barron Glass. I did not add any comments of my own.

To repeat: The subject line was a direct quote of Baron Glass, host of the Smoking Glass Hour and it is the "name" of the YouTube, however, DUers who took exception to the title deliberately ignored that it was his opinion and clutching at pearls used that to get the thread hid.

How is it right that a Black commentator who raises a question of whether Blacks are best served by Hillary is being censored on DU?


MORE IMPORTANTLY, given that Camp Bansalot regard this YouTube and it's contents as DANGEROUS, I'm hoping it gets widely circulated elsewhere on line.
