As pointed out by other publications, the Democrats didn’t only plan a debate on Saturday; they also planned a debate six day before Christmas — which, by the way, is also a Saturday — and one on the Sunday night of Martin Luther King Day weekend.

Wasserman Schultz said early on that she has no plans to add debates, but other Democrats are publicly upset about the scheduling, including Democratic candidate Martin O’Malley and DNC Vice Chair Tulsi Gabbard.
