The DNC. Warren Stupidity Dec 2015 #37

If Bernie can't manage the DNC, how will he manage China? yardwork Dec 2015 #49

Could be, I guess. SusanCalvin Dec 2015 #61

Maybe he'll just decline to engage on the debate question, like Hillary. AtheistCrusader Dec 2015 #72

And Dean and O'Mally know this fasttense Dec 2015 #82

O'Malley is a Hillary supporter? yardwork Dec 2015 #96

I've never heard anyone say a bad word against O'Malley (until today) nxylas Dec 2015 #80

If he said something like this AtheistCrusader Dec 2015 #89

Funny how you think a lie of omission is 'the truth'. AtheistCrusader Dec 2015 #44

I don't think a lie of omission is the truth. NCTraveler Dec 2015 #52

And yet here you are, still calling it the truth after multiple posters supplied you with documentat AtheistCrusader Dec 2015 #55

Correct. I believe O'Malley and Dean. NCTraveler Dec 2015 #58

It's not a conspiracy if it's right there on the DNC website. AtheistCrusader Dec 2015 #65

Rachel Maddow et al, found a way around the "debate" issue Sheepshank Dec 2015 #20

And it's hardly a debate w/o Hillary there. Schema Thing Dec 2015 #21

In other words, he's only interested in doing something if it's politically beneficial? Amimnoch Dec 2015 #62

Bernie very openly asked for more debates. Schema Thing Dec 2015 #79

Read the OP? Amimnoch Dec 2015 #99

I think DWS and Hillary would be perfectly happy cancelling the remaining debates thesquanderer Dec 2015 #29

Per Omalley, Sansders was comfortable with 6. Contradicts what you are saying. NT seabeyond Dec 2015 #26

O'Malley is omitting the exclusivity rule. AtheistCrusader Dec 2015 #45

No, it does not make Omalley a liar and it amazes me how quickly Sanders supporters will point to seabeyond Dec 2015 #73

Dean did craft the 6 debate schedule. AtheistCrusader Dec 2015 #78

But of course we know this isn't true because we use our big ears to listen. Schema Thing Dec 2015 #46

But that just reinforces the fact... ljm2002 Dec 2015 #48

Sanders could have equally been lying. I do not know. You do not know. What he said to Omalley seabeyond Dec 2015 #68

Actually, we DO know... ljm2002 Dec 2015 #76

They could have gotten around the exclusivity clause in any number of ways if they'd wanted to. ucrdem Dec 2015 #14

What was Hillary's reaction? Did he ask her for a one on one debate? Tierra_y_Libertad Dec 2015 #16

It's Bernie who has been claiming he wants more debates, not Hillary. nt SunSeeker Dec 2015 #18

Well, we certainly know that Hillary doesn't want to risk more debates. Tierra_y_Libertad Dec 2015 #69

Her numbers went up after every debate with Sanders. nt SunSeeker Dec 2015 #71

Why isn't she demanding more debates if that's the case? Tierra_y_Libertad Dec 2015 #74

Sanders and O'Malley joined forces to add one more debate CoffeeCat Dec 2015 #17
