Why on earth would the Dems schedule a "pretend" debate (Hillary versus Sanders and that other guy, is not a debate, its a two hour photo op and nothing more) schedule a debate on Saturday night, not to mention on the same night of an important NFL football game?
Answer: because they are not serious about using the debate platform in their strategy for Hillary's election to the presidency.
The problem they are dealing with is this, comparative few actually like Hillary. More to the point, the more you see of her, the more you dislike her.
Remember her recent book tour? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . no, of course you don't. Understand that the crowds coming out for her appearances during the book tour, became so small that the tour was called off. Bad photo-op.
More to the point: the first Democrat debate was watched by 13 million folks (the first GOP debate scored 26 million); the second debate took in 8 million. Gawd only knows about a third debate.
She was two months scheduling her first media interview, and did three campaign "kick-off" announcements including her March, 2015 initial annoucement, precisely because no one cares about Hillary.
Certainly, she will get her share of the partisan vote (the GOP has its partisan population as well), but the Independent vote is up for grabs and is a growing electorate population. Let's not forget those who got nothing from Obama (the Hispanics and the Blacks) and remain very disappointed in the party that breaks promise after promise.
Seriously. During 2008, Obama promised to get comprehensive immigration done by the end of 2009. If you remember "2009," you know that he could have given the 11 to 20 million illegals full citizenship, that year, because the GOP with their nothing-burger McCain nominee, lost full control of both houses of Congress leaving that party without even the possibility of filibuster . . . . and somne Hispanics know this. Obama made the decision to continue "comprehensive immigration reform" as a wedge issue, for future elections.
And the blacks? They simply got nothing. They never do. And the numbers I am seeing, predicting black turnout for the coming election, is around 75% (it was 93% for the 2008).
Understand that Hillary hopes to win the election as she enlists the same alliances as did Obama. She does not care about the blue collar vote (only 24% of white males support her), is not making any appearances on opposition media (GOP candidates are all over the major networks, CNN and MSNBC), may have lost 20% of the black vote, and, 35% of the Hispanic vote . . . . . . . not to mention expectations for a low Democrat voter turnout. She simply cannot win an election with these numbers.
Now you know.
