There will be six Democratic
debates announced this week – and if candidates stray from the DNC’s
strict rules, they will be punished by the Party Elite . . . . . . The Daily Beast has learned that
the Democratic National Committee will announce its debate schedule
later this week, with six debates beginning in the fall, and with
penalties for candidates and media outlets that stray from the
sanctioned schedule . . . . .
Debate
planning has been underway at the DNC since early last year, and Vice
President Biden’s staff has been kept in the loop all along as a party
leader and someone who has openly talked about possibly running.
Lobbying by the campaigns has been intense, with Clinton’s campaign
wanting fewer than six debates, while the staffs of Martin O’Malley and
Bernie Sanders asking for more than that.
Republicans had 20 debates last campaign and are scheduled for 9 debates in this cycle ~ editor.
