If bernie was an idealist instead of having a pragmatic streak, he wouldn't have run as a democrat
HRC colluded with the DNC to stop sanders, and chief among that was minimizing the debate impact, because the DNC at least could control that- they scheduled the lowest number of debates, canceled anyway and put the remainder in the worst possible time slots, all part of a transparent effort to insulate HRC from the negative impact she'd inevitably get in the debates. It doesn't take a genius to point out that an anti-establishment populist running on hype is going to win the debate in the eyes of the public next to the empty suit with baggage, compromise and doubletalk.
Its in her interests to minimize or dodge the debates entirely, its trumps only chance to win. If the debates were held in the ring at primetime, trump would have this locked up
I thought there were too many debates...you only had two candidates! As for timing, I think it worked out for Bernie. Hillary won all but like one debate.
