A Question Debbie Won't Answer ...

The Answer Is: Democrats Don't Differ From Socialists Anymore

Ideology: The head of the Democratic Party keeps refusing to say how her party differs from socialists. Why? Because she doesn't want to publicly admit the truth.

This summer, MSNBC's "Hardball" host Chris Matthews took Debbie Wasserman Schultz by surprise when he asked her: "What is the difference between a Democrat and a socialist."

For the head of the Democratic Party, that should be an easy enough question to answer. But she didn't. So Matthews asked again, and again, to no avail. Instead, Wasserman Schultz blathered on about how the GOP is captive to its extreme right.

A few weeks later, Chuck Todd tried to get her to answer the question on "Meet the Press." Again she refused. Asked a third time at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast for reporters, Wasserman Schultz replied: "I'll give you the same answer that I gave both of them." And then proceeded not to answer the question.

This isn't a game of gotcha. It's a legitimate question that deserves a straight answer. After all, self-described socialist Bernie Sanders is beating Hillary Clinton in some state polls for the Democratic Party nomination.
