So this is how cut-and-run works? And what about those democrats agreements to doing this debate? I guess that ranks right up there with their past unfulfilled campaign promises. It now looks to me that this is proof that we cannot trust the word of any of those liberal presidential candidates.
The Democrats and the Left in general have never been supporters of a free and open debate. They just want you to do as you're told. This boycott should confirm that fact for everyone.
