DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz refused to mention Bernie Sanders’ name in an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Wednesday.

Appearing on “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” the only candidate Schultz mentioned was Hillary Clinton. Wasserman Schultz had high praise for Clinton saying, “Hillary Clinton has been doing what I think is a fantastic job crisscrossing the country talking about the issues, that are the bread and butter issues important to Americans, who ultimately decide who becomes President of the United States.” (RELATED: O’Malley Says Debates Are ‘Rigged’ For Hillary, Gets Hit With DEATH STARE From DNC Chair)

Wasserman Schultz even mentioned the possible “additional credible candidate” Vice President Joe Biden, who has been going around the country recently making speeches in key battle ground states.

Many polls have Sanders beating Clinton or show Clinton’s numbers sliding drastically in comparison to Sanders’s. (RELATED: Has Hillary Clinton Lost Women Voters?)

When asked about the limited debate schedule of the Democratic Primary season Schultz said, “It’s important that our candidates be seen in a wide variety of formats and venues.” Schultz explained, “We have six debates and there will be many other opportunities for our candidates to be seen in candidate forums and you know, our initial focus in the early primary states is on making sure that the retail politics can really be robust.” (RELATED O’Malley SLAMS Rigged, ‘Less Democratic’ DNC Debate Schedule)

Schultz even criticized the concept of debates, saying “every time a candidate has to engage and get ready for a debate, they have to come off the trail and that means that they are going to not get as much of an opportunity from the voters to be seen up close and personal.”

In the 2008 election cycle, the Democratic Party had 26 total debates which Schultz argued spread the candidates too thin. In the 2016 election cycle, the DNC will only have five debates compared to the Republicans who will have eleven. (RELATED: O’Malley: DNC Is Stacking The Deck For Hillary)

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
