Apparently, Hillary and the Democrats are happy to fly under the radar while the GOP Trumpocalypse plays out.

The Democratic party seeks to protect Hillary's front-runner status by giving her fewer chances to feel the Bern. They don't want voters to suffer Clinton-fatigue until the real election.

Thus, the Democratic presidential debates are kinda like parties for unpopular kids. Nobody knows about them until they're over and then it's like, "Oh, sorry we missed it!" (But no, we're not sorry we missed it.)

Unfortunately, they messed up with the debate that aired this past 3-day-weekend-Sunday night on NBC. People actually saw that one. Oops.

And Bernie Sanders continues to surge in the polls.

Desert island debates are the way to go, y'all. Desolation is good, saturation, bad. Sorry, Bernie and That Other Guy, that's the way it's gotta be. That's the way mama needs it to be.

Besides, the GOP debates are way more Trump-liciously, Cruz-nastily entertaining.
