Acting like a dictator kind of contradicts the meaning of the democratic party.

I guess she just doesn't get it.

to have too many opportunities to engage Hillary, because she just isn't that strong in debates, and has a rather thin (human hair diameter) record of championing fiscal reform, reining in Wall Street, and had to evolve on gay marriage.

DWS doesn't want to give any candidate other than Clinton face time. O'Malley and Sanders would bring the fact time by debating policy, and Hillary's record doesn't substantiate the case that she has a strong Democratic policy.
