They should invite Trump if they want more viewers. I bet he would show up for that one.

Would be fun, but he'll need to register for Dem party for one day.

Ratings dropped dramatically for republican debates after the first debate. That means they dropped with Trump in them.

The last democratic debate had more ratings than the last republican debate. I don't think the democrats need Trump's help.

Just because Trump claims he brings ratings it doesn't mean it's true.

There's nothing which prohibits candidates from one party debating another. No law that says people from party A cannot debate people from party B.

That would be a great idea, if the moderators would simply quit trying to make a particular candidate look good and just ask the questions.

Oh I'm sure this new debate has been quietly sanctioned by the DNC...

The Dems rigged the game to try and get the outcome they wanted, but it didn't work, so now they want to change the rules.

Do you always just make things up and expect others to believe them?

I agree with this. They have realized from the GOP side that "controversy" and anti-establishment benefit them, but its phony for them just like anything Clinton is involved in.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has threatened to use DNC rules against any candidate for participating in any unsanctioned debate. Obviously she is trying to prevent exposure of the lesser known candidates.

It's going to tear the Democrat party apart as the left is furious about it.

Martin O'Malley is the only candidate who has accepted the invitation so far to the event scheduled to take place on Feb. 4, five days before the New Hampshire primary.
There you have it, O'Malley's soliloquy on February 4.
