What to Expect from the Democratic Candidates in Next Week's Presidential Debates
The stage is set for the first Democratic debates this month, John Nichols, national-affairs correspondent for The Nation, weighs in on the winners and losers from the scheduled lineups.
Great discussion today with @BrianLehrer on @WNYC about the D debates. The June/July debates are essentially locked in to these rules but future debates can be fairer and more focused. Seek formats that give candidates a hearing and a chance to compete in a real battle of ideas.
