DNC chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz must be getting used to being drowned out by boos whenever she addresses an audience of Democrats. She insists that she’s sticking to the original DNC debate schedule, while Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley supporters want to see more debates than six, and sooner than Oct. 13.
Wasserman Schultz is also being criticized by Hillary Clinton supporters who want to know why a man who isn’t even a registered Democrat is being allowed in the debates in the first place. O’Malley, taking a swipe at Sanders at the Iowa State Fair in August, made it a point to say, “I choose to be a Democrat, not just in presidential years, but in every year of my life.”
Fox News host Greta Van Susteren asked her followers what they thought of an independent and self-described socialist crashing the Democrat debates.
Why is Bernie Sanders, who says he is not a Democrat but an Indep/Socialist being invited to participate in Democratic debate?

@greta Good question Greta. This entire election process is a joke.

@greta Democrats Are Socialists,Obama is a Socialist and Hillary is a closet socialist.They give our money to others and retain their own.

@greta You MUST B baitin' us! Remember, when DWS was asked 2 differentiate between the Dem party today & socialism & she was flummoxed. D=S

@greta Which is why everyone on that stage should asked what the difference between a Dem and a Socialist is.

@greta Because the Democrats are Socialist and like minded. They are just trying to hide it. Allowing Sanders into their ranks proves it.

@greta Aren't they basically the same thing? I mean their goals are quite similar, aren't they?

@greta They have to keep him tied in with Dems. Him as a 3rd party would be a disaster for the progressives.
— Ron B. (@rcbvt) September 27, 2015
@greta Good point. He shouldn't, but he does caucus with the Democrats.
— Sanford D. Horn (@HornSanford) September 26, 2015
@greta Because he is running as a Democrat. This includes fulfilling all FEC regulations. So, despite his protestations, he's a Dem.
— Ernie Myers (@PastorErnie) September 26, 2015
@greta He caucuses with Democrats and is running for the Democrat nomination. Besides, the Democrats are really Socialist Democrats anyway.
— Ed LaRose (@metaphorsbwithu) September 26, 2015
@greta because he is winning and Hillary is losing big

@greta Democrat Party has gone to the deep end
— Dagmar Leininger (@LeiningerDagmar) September 27, 2015
@greta He makes Hillary look more appealing to the right as a centrist. At least, that's what they're trying to do
— Drew Davis (@PlutoThree1) September 26, 2015
@greta Who cares?

@greta It's the "Big Tent Party". They take all comers, anarchists, reprobates, socialists, communists, and sometimes an actual taxpayer.

And it looks like we have time for one follow-up question.
Have you figured out why anyone wants to be President? it is #LastJobIwant
