The truth can damn well defend herself—but she must be stated first. We must make our case, and let the people decide. #WeNeedDebate

O'Malley: ““Four debates. Four debates? Four debates? Four debates and four debates only,” he said, holding up four fingers. “This is totally unprecedented in our party’s history. This sort of rigged process has never been attempted before. Whose decree is this exactly? Where did it come from? To what end? For what purpose? What national or party interest does this decree serve? How does this help us tell the story of the last eight years of Democratic progress?”

5. well, the timing makes the later debates moot for key states

O’Malley questioned the decision to hold “four debates and four debates only” before the first four states finish voting.

3. I'm certainly with O'Malley on this one. This is a travesty & a betrayal

of everything the "Democratic" Party stands for, by it's little DNC club of insiders.
