DNC Chair Still Refuses to Schedule More Democratic Debates

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BLITZER: "The White House, and the democratic presidential contest right now, and a new quinnipiac university poll is showing Bernie Sanders now leading Hillary Clinton in Iowa, 49 percent to 44 percent, and another poll from CBS news, and the New York Times showing Bernie Sanders closing the gap with Hillary Clinton nationally, and down seven points compared to the 20-point gap last month, and we are seeing both of the candidates stepping up the attacks against each other, and is there a time, and you are the chair of the DNC, to approve more debates between the two candidates?"
SCHULTZ: "Our candidates with our debate schedule, and the schedule of the other candidate forums have had a large variety of opportunities to be seen by the voters. You see that from the whether it is secretary Clinton or senator Sanders, to some degree martin O’Malley, and their expose sure are through a variety of the opportunities has given them the ability to be successful, and to the attract attention tension, and to build support with the schedule that we have had. I want to point out, wolf, that 58 of the 61 debates in 2008 and 2012 had lower, you know, or as good of viewership as we have had in the debates that we have had now. We have exceeded the viewership by a lot of the debates that we have had this year compared to 58 of 61 debates in 2008 and 2012. In fact, our candidate with the least amount of time on our debate stage has actually had as much time as the frontrunner on the Republican side has had. So I am confident, and satisfied with the amount of time that our candidates have had on the debate stage, and candidate forums, and impersonally — importantly, to be heard."
BLITZER: "And are you going schedule more debates?"
SCHULTZ: "We have six scheduled, and the forums."
BLITZER: "Thank you."
SCHULTZ: "Thank you, wolf."
