If she can't talk to Bernie Sanders cause of his "tone"
What the hell is she going to do when faced with an insane angry shaved baboon?

(10,478 posts)After 6 months or so, I'd say most people have made up their minds, all another debate does at this point is provide free airtime for the cash-strapped Sanders campaign.

Personally, I'd rather she spend her time out on the campaign trail and raising funds to combat Trump in the fall.

(15,805 posts)If she's running ahead of the competition there's no benefit to debating Sanders, and that would hold true even if he was in the lead. Clearly, at this point she doesn't see him as any real threat. Sanders has more to gain with another debate so of course he wants that to happen, but unless Clinton sees the numbers change, debating him isn't going to happen.
