Democrats counter Republicans in WiFi war by setting no password at their debate: We are 'a party of inclusion'

Republicans threw down the gauntlet at their debate on Tuesday, requiring anyone who wished to use the WiFi at Milwaukee Theatre to type in the password "StopHillary." Tonight at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, where the second Democratic debate is being held, the DNC has countered with a WiFi password of their own. Or rather, there's no password at all.

Anyone connecting to the internet need only join the network "13MillionNewJobs" — which has no password because "the Democratic Party is the party of inclusion and we believe in expanding access and economic opportunity for all," a DNC flier reads.

The next Republican debate will be held on Dec. 15, in Nevada — WiFi password to come.
