The Democrats must be united to win.
I've heard there are only seven more debates?
And that's just the Democrats. The Republicans have none scheduled.
Is it really beneficial for the Democrats to debate each other about the issues? Such as guns and health care? When all the Republicans have to do is sit back and criticize. For some reason, that hardly seems fair?
The Republicans are getting no pressure from any of the networks to sponsor any Republican debates? At least, none that I have heard of? They can sit back and watch the Democrats debate. Last I heard, Trump had three Republican opponents. Where are their debates? That's the ones I want to see.

(110,950 posts)Because it is the same game as the Republican game. Divide and conquer.

(32,345 posts)At this point it's not even certain the Repukes will have a primary, at least in some states. But our Democratic primaries are far more interesting, and therefore our debates are also of interest.
This cannot be stressed enough: There are a lot of Repukes who would rather vote in the Democratic primary of their state as a way of "deposing" a certain front-running candidate - say Liz Warren or Joe Biden - rather than participate in their own party's primary. It has happened more and more in the last 20 years, and maybe even longer.
