There weren't nine debates because the DNC realized Hilary went down in the polls every time she opened her mouth.
Why would limiting debates help Sanders?
That conspiracy theory makes no sense. It relies on a totally unsupported and kind of crazy claim that Sanders did better at debates, and that the DNC knew it. Since Clinton did just as well or better than Sanders at the debates, that claim is clearly false, hence the conspiracy theory crashes and burns.
Did just the opposite. By limiting the debates to fewer than half those in 2008, Sanders got far less exposure and he won most of the debates. Every time she speaks, her numbers go down.
