Now you know why the DNC does not want to have Bernie on stage any time soon. In fact, the longer they can keep him off stage the better for their chosen candidate.
Well, we knew that the opposition was going to be nasty, but this nastiness is a bit extreme.

Maybe 35 million viewers! That's the last thing Hillary wants; 35 million viewers seeing Bernie.

(10,565 posts)Not be quite the draw that the Donald is. Certainly Hillary won't. I'm not sure what MSNBC's viewership is (I watch) but 10 Democratic debates does not sound like a big ratings coup. Most likely it would be lower than Hardball which is way behind anything on Fochs Nuz.

(13,685 posts)You watch, 35 million will tune in to hear Bernie.
DNC knows it, and they want Hillary and are being un-democratic.
We may have to do a net of torches and pitchforks at the DNC office.

The Democratic debates are not going to be lighting the world on fire.

(13,685 posts)Oh hell yeah, If the scumbags can draw 24 million, Bernie will get 35 million. That's why the DNC is hiding.
Sad you think so much of Trumpublcans and so little of Democrats.

(13,685 posts)Each of the 20 million Bernie supporters will each be telling 10 people to watch the first Bernie debate.
This part of the revolution will be televised, and it will make headlines with the numbers of people who finally get to see Bernie on cable TV.
The DNC is pissing all over themselves in fear of the Bern!

(25,272 posts)This Repug debate that we just saw was only broadcast on Fox. Will the Dems debates get wider coverage on network TV and all the cable channels and CSPAN? Does anyone out there know?
But when it does happen, it's going to make history.
Our problem is, besides the DNC, the M$M does not want Bernie as president. They will do what they can to hold Bernie down. Expect no favors from M$M. We should expect favors from our own party, tho.
