DNC Debates
As upset as a few of us are with the GOP establishment, were I a Democrat I would be just as upset, if not moreso.
The DNC has restricted the number of debates to six total: four before the Iowa primary and two afterwards. More controversial is the DNC has included an exclusivity clause which requires the media or organization hosting the debate to bar any candidate who has appeared in an unsanctioned debate. Both the Sanders and O'Malley campaign's are furious with this, and are accusing the DNC of basically gift-wrapping the nomination for Hillary.
It's well documented that Hillary both hates and does not do well with standard debates. She prefers town halls to debates, but would rather limit those as well.
It appears as though both the GOP and DNC establishments have a candidate they want and are working to make sure that candidate is able to win.
