As media attention heats round the first Republican presidential debate in Ohio this week -- Democrats are dodging a candidate showdown of their own!
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz promised voters a 'competitive primary process' and debates 'would be an important part.'
But little information is known.
As the Clinton coronation continues to crumble, there is only vague chatter around the party about a forum in Iowa within the next few months.
Going into first week of August, the Dem field is hardly settled.
A late addition of VP Biden and wild-card Howard Schultz, CEO of STARBUCKS, would bring fresh drama.
EDITOR'S NOTE: 6 millions viewers are expected to tune into FOXNEWS on Thursday for the stage-packed Republican gathering. Ironically, the same number of viewers that watched Trump 'APPRENTICE' finale earlier this year on NBC.

No televised debates from the Dems ?
Has hell frozen over ?
Nothing to debate...for them, it’s all *settled science*.
Ha, Ha. Hillery’s not up to debating Socialist/Communist Sanders so they cancel the debates, but not publicly cancelled. Everything is being done to protect Hillary!!
Translation: Hillary is to be anointed and they don’t want any difficult questions being asked.
Hillary likes ‘listening’ and bobbing her head like a crazed bobblehead... that way the marks (oops - I mean voters) think she agrees with them. It’s a fancy way to lying...
Ping.
Believe me, they don’t want to contrast their beliefs with that of Trump, Cruz, Walker, et al...
Who could blame them.
They want heavily crafted events where nobody asks any pointed questions and the group is malleable in their hands.
The dimoKKKRAT debate would go something like this.
Hillary what is your favorite ice cream?
It sounds as though Slick Willie’s wife can’t take the heat.
Hillary the Queen needs no debates.
What difference, at this point, does it make?
The Dems are going to get slaughtered anyway.
all their answers would just be them explaining how awful everything is because of republicans. yawn.
Hard to debate when you have already selected your nominee.
And the garbage MSM will let them slide without any criticism. If the republicans tried something like this we would never hear the end of it.
It’s to figure where enthusiasm will come from...not just for Presidential candidates, but all the secondary candidates (senator, house of representatives, governor, sheriff, etc). If they decide to skip debates prior to Iowa and hope to skip them entirely...fine, but it’ll be low turn-outs for the whole primary period across the board.
I do agree...with one single debate...Bernie might wipe out Hillary’s marginal support.
Frikkin’ hilarious and doesn’t even need one word of comment.
Quel surprise. Republican debates are target practice for the dems/dnc.
Just ask George Stephanopoulos.
