CNN Shrinks Dem Debate By One Hour | The Weekly Standard

Last month, CNN hosted a Republican presidential primary debate. The main event was a 3-hour affair.

Next week, the same network will host a Democratic presidential primary debate. But this time, the debate will be one hour shorter -- it'll span only 2 hours.

Of course there's a big difference in the number of candidates in each of the debates. The Republican debate featured 11 candidates. The Democratic debate will probably be made up of 5 candidates.
Hmmmmm, a ploy to save Hillary?
 
Well take off the time for commercials and then all those distractions. Also there could be a Hillary tearful moment. Which could take up to 10 minutes for her to regain her composure.

Plus the Demos were desperate to be able to compete with the Repubs attracting viewers. So they decided they would have Sheryl Crow come in and sing the National Anthem.



Sheryl Crow set to perform at CNN Democratic Primary Debate.....

Grammy-award winning singer Sheryl Crow is scheduled to sing the National Anthem at the first Democratic primary debate being held in Las Vegas, Nevada, on October 13. The singer is an outspoken environmentalist who in 2010 received the Natural Resources Defense Council Forces For Nature Award. In May she teamed up with the Blue Jeans Go Green initiative which turns denim into insulation for homes to help Habitat for Humanity rebuild homes in New Orleans in honor of the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

Crow listed the environment as a topic she hopes to see embraced by the candidates. "To me that's the mother topic," she said. "All else fails if our planet isn't healthy." Crow also said she's hopping there will be a push among Democrats to help middle-class and poorer families by raising the minimum wage.

"Knowing the political system and how little gets done every year for so many years it's hard to know when a political candidate stands up for what he believes in," she said.....snip~

In retrospect, we can all see how silly this thread is. Mrs. Clinton did very well in the debate. If it was an hour longer, she still would have done just as well. The same thing goes for the Weakly Standard.
