That means no more debates. Pretty chickenshit of Sanders IMO. He can whine about the lack of debates but won't do anything to fix the problem.

I still think O'Malley should reach out to the GOP candidates who don't make the main debates and have a debate with them. More people would watch that debate anyway.

Dec. 19th?!?! Really? God I strongly dislike DWS and those in the DNC that support this move. stillwaiting Aug 2015 #3

Thanks for pointing that out. A Dec 19th debate date is incomprehensible. The DNC has become a joke think Aug 2015 #4

Oh crap! elleng Aug 2015 #9

I thought it would turn out this way. Koinos Aug 2015 #11

Yeah, no one is going to care about a debate with O'Malley, Chafee and Webb. askew Aug 2015 #12

I hate it when you're right too, Koinos! elleng Aug 2015 #13
