Agree or Disagree?
Josh Marshall: Critics have been complaining for months that the DNC kept the number of debates to a minimum and scheduled them at odd times to benefit Hillary Clinton, the prospective Democratic frontrunner who has overwhelming establishment support. And yet, Clinton has performed strongly in the debates and seen her poll numbers benefit afterwards. Like the other Democratic candidates, Clinton would probably be benefiting from even more debates, instead of a 9 PM debate on Sunday on a long holiday weekend.
BUZZING: Today in the Hive
From a TPM Prime member: “It’s not surprising that major, long term secrets which require large human, institutional effort and occupy space that cannot entirely be kept invisible (hello, Trevor Paglen!) ultimately leak out and become a topic of informed, obsessive, and often fantastical discussion. But their secretive nature — in some instances understandably so (at least for a while), in other instances outrageously so (given their scope, importance, and the length of the effort to keep them secret) — in turn lend credence to the notion that conspiracies are everywhere.”
