DWS should have had someone out front immediately after the "debates" ended last night to rebut each and every thing the clowns said. Like for instance, Jeb Bush saying that his brother "Kept America safe". No, not true.
Or the hair guy taking four casinos into bankruptcy. Ok, to be honest, I didn't even watch the clown show last night because the Cubs were on. But if the Democrats would have had something, anything, I may have tuned in. C'mon Debbie Wasserman-Schultz let's get going! The Dems need exposure. And we need to articulate positions on issues.
When the Dems finally have debates, you can bet the repukes will have several responses to them.

(6,409 posts)I believe the TV people agree to air the debates of both parties and consider it a wash. They give the opposition party a response to state of the union, etc. It would probably be unfair to air a debate, then allow the opposing party to make fun of the stupid things the candidates said. I know I couldn't do it. Five straight minutes of laughing and gasping for breath is a waste of TV time.

DWS is a complete cluster, i still don't understand how she remains DNClinton chair after the debacle of the midterm elections.

(606 posts)The name is vaguely familiar. Are they an American political party? If not why would they comment on American debates? If they don't like republicans I can understand. We used to have a second political party but I haven't heard a peep out of them in ages.

(18,402 posts)The other party never gets air time to rebut debates. I'm sure they'll be all over the talk shows today, though. But nobody watches them Not even me--I didn't even watch the debate. Why the hell WOULD I? I watched as much of the first one as I could stomach, just to get to know the characters. I think your life has to be pretty empty to watch all the other party's debates. It was Godard night on TCM--you could have been watching Breathless and Pierrot le Fou and really doing something.
