Those shows air on Friday? That doesn't appear to be appropriate day no matter what.

A Tuesday or Wednesday would most suitable, yes?

It's a conflict no matter who the nominee is.

If somr candidate has some huge baseball following do we not hold any debates during the entire month of October since there is a playoff game virtually every day??
Sunday Night Football has something like 22 million viewers on average and for that game it will probably be higher. The World Series doesn't even see numbers like that let alone a MLB playoff game. Sunday and Monday night games are not randomly chosen, they are expected to draw a lot of interest. If you are bottom of the barrel team you will be lucky to get one game on those nights.

One name. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.


She has been outed by hacked emails as a cheater who rigged everything for Hillary. She would have been in charge of that negotiation. And we all know that she put forth a primary debate schedule that only benefitted Hillary.


It's quite laughable to believe that she didn't try to rig it for the general election too.

I would certainly agree SNF is a major draw, hell I'm a diehard Giants fan. With that being said, there is a show with major ratings almost every night. MNF also does not quite get the draw it use to compared to when it was on ABC, and Saints vs Falcons is certainly not a top tier match up.

There are many things to be critical of Wasserman-Schultz on, however the DNC nor the RNC have any control over when the debates will be held in the General.

Dear, the claim was made that they did in defense of Crooked Hillary.

You can't have it both ways.

There is a difference between how the Primary Debate Schedule is set and how the General Election Schedule is set. The parties control how the Primary Debate Schedule is set, they do NOT control how the General Election Debate Schedule is set.
