2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Democrats Stifle Their Message - The Editorial Board/USAToday [View all]Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)55. In the GOP debates the conversation was stifled by the GOP candidates by the way the
candidates conducted themselves. In the DNC debates there have been issues and civil, there isn't a comparison and I am happy the DNC is much better at the debates. We could have 26 debates like the first GOP debates and we would look just like the GOP, we are better than that. It is not who we are, we don't have the Trumps, Cruzes, the Pauls, and the list goes on.
