Then vs now: Hillary Clinton on limiting debates

 It would seem as though the Democratic party is trying to protect Hillary Clinton by limiting the number of debates during the Democratic primary season heading into the Iowa caucuses. This is not just right-wing propaganda as Martin O’Malley has been vocal on this issue, claiming that the DNC is trying to rig the system in order to protect the presumed front-runner, and Bernie Sanders has gone so far as to say the Democratic party is “dead wrong” for limiting debates while claiming “democracy benefits when we have debates.” (Of course democracy is a code word for socialism, but let that go.)

  For her part, most likely because she is the front-runner and presumably stands to benefit from a limited debate schedule, Hillary Clinton has been silent on this issue. But apparently she did not always feel this way: Back in 2008, after Barack Obama became the front-runner, Hillary Clinton released a campaign ad calling out Barack Obama for not agreeing to more debates–claiming he would apparently rather give speeches than debate policy.

  Funny how that works, isn’t it…
