OPINION | One of the most rewarding aspects of my 25-year career overseas working for democracy organizations was organizing candidate debates. Particularly in countries where it had never been done. In 2013, we pulled off Cambodia's first televised debate that included the participation of the ruling Cambodia People's Party (CPP) on a stage alongside the opposition. This was (and is) unheard of in the Cambodian political context where opposition leaders are more likely to be put in jail than given a microphone on mainstream media. |
OPINION | Here are two questions that Senate and House Democratic campaign committees should demand — through well-financed national and state ad campaigns, on broadcast network, cable news channels and social media — that Republicans answer, yes or no: 1.

Do you agree with the Supreme Court's decision allowing states to make it a crime for a woman to have an abortion if they become pregnant as a result of rape or incest? |
