Well, that was quick!!! On Sunday MSNBC announced that they will be holding an additional Democratic debate in New Hampshire on Feb 4, 2016! And yes! It’s even been approved and sanctioned by Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
The Democratic National Committee, which has been under pressure from voters and candidates to add more debates to the primary schedule, has said the debate will be sanctioned and is moving towards sanctioning additional debates with the agreement of the candidates.
You have to wonder why DWS and the DNC, who have been under pressure for months to allow additional debates and have been adamant against any further debates suddenly changed course and decided to approve an additional debate? You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out the one thing that changed, Hillary was the one asking for additional debate!
After months of pressure from Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley and demands of a large portion of the Democratic voters, DWS finally acquiesced and agreed to an additional debate… After Hillary asked for it.
Now you might also notice that although DWS has sanctioned the New Hampshire debate, she has not officially sanctioned the other 3 requested by the Sanders campaign.
TPM also has an article up on this, DNC Agrees To Hold Additional Presidential Debates. However, there were some minor problems with their opening paragraph:
Democratic National Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in a statement Sunday that it would sanction additional presidential debates after the party's frontrunners lobbied for more.
Let me fix that for them…
Democratic National Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in a statement Sunday that it would sanction additional an additional presidential debates debate after the party's frontrunners frontrunner, Hillary Clinton, lobbied for more.
There! That’s far more truthful!!
Is there anyone out there that still think DWS and the DNC aren’t doing everything possible to see that Hillary Clinton gets her coronation?
I didn’t think so!!
