I am very proud of our candidate! A BIG THANK YOU TO MO'M!!!

Thank you to Martin O'MAlley for calling for more debates right there in the heart of the DNC and not doing it via the media, social or otherwise.

He took his party on right there in his Party's house!

WE NEED DEBATE!

Bernie agreed with O'Malley during his press conference that the debate schedule was rigged for Hillary. And DWS had to shut down a point of order calling for more debates.

Man, was DWS pissed.

Her behavior contradicts the very nature of being a democrat.

It makes the candidate appear weak and unpresidential. If the candidate would stand with O'Malley and against DWS on the issue of debates, that candidate's favorability would rise immediately.

It isn't a good idea to treat a presidential candidate like a child who needs protection. I believe that candidate needs more debates as well.
