Democrats announce debate schedule: Hillary will debate Bill four times
one man's opinion...

Posted on 05/08/2015 6:26:54 AM PDT by ken5050

DNC chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz today announced a revised schedule of presidential debates. Hillary Clinton will debate her husband, the former president, a total of four times." We've listened carefully to our supporters, and this is what they want to see," she said


TOPICS: Politics
KEYWORDS: hillary2016
Wasserman-Schultz explained that while Bill Clinton was technically prohibited from running again for the White House, "there is no controlling legal authority, nothing in the rules and by-laws of the DNC that says he can't participate in a presidential debate."

"Democrats don't want the presumption of inevitability, a coronation, of their nominee for president. They do want a spirited and vigorous discussion of the important issues we face today." She went on to say that "given the significant differences between Bill and Hillary on important issues like immigration, crime, trade, and welfare, it's only right that they engage in a spirited and vigorous discussion of these crucial issues that affect middle class hard working families."

Wasserman-Schultz dismissed concerns that Bill would go easy on Hillary, that he wouldn't try to pin her down on the issues, to make her look good.

"That's nonsense," Wasserman-Schultz said. "To quote President Clinton, '....You can put wings on a pig, but that doesn't make it an eagle...'

I’d like to see this criminal degenerate “debate” a grand jury.

Uh, Debbie, I think he was talking about you when he said that.

I can almost hear the "impartial" Candy Crowley announce the debate participants:

"After he got lubed by Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office, then-pres Clinton handily survived b/c of his political survival skills and effectiveness, the citizenry's distaste for evil Republican critics who repeatedly overreached, and b/c he brought the US peace and prosperity. Even more significantly, Pres Clinton embodies the actualization of the persistent male fantasy of sex w/ younger women."

Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You’ll have bad times, and he’ll have good times
Doin’ things that you don’t understand
But if you love him, you’ll forgive him
Even though he’s hard to understand
And if you love him, oh be proud of him
‘Cause after all he’s just a man.
Stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely.
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can.
Stand by your man.
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can.
Stand by your man.

I could see this being real, not to mention how much the media would go gah-gah over the idea.

Hey, they could make millions more by doing pay per view!

Ok, pardon me if I sound like a total fool, but wouldn’t it make more sense to have her debate with another viable nominee? He’s done with his two terms.

That doesn't alter the fact that he still can't run! Debate the issues with someone who can!

They're talking about inevitability? The deck is already stacked.

This would be very interesting. They haven’t even seen each other since college!

I think should have to debates with Brian Williams. They can see who comes up with the best whopper that the audience believes.

Then she can debate Katie Couric and Barbara Walters. First question from Brian Schiefer, “Miss Couric, how is it that Hillary is so fabulous?”
