The location of the next debate is meaningless...

I'd love to have it in NYC (and I'll use my contacts to try and get tickets), but the electorate will watch it on TV (as with every other debate), and the questions will have no unique relevance to New York issues.

I can't see why she would decline other than fear of losing.

especially from a supposed "New Yorker"? Could be because we all remember how she carpetbagged her way in from Arkansas and promptly exploited our tragedy to endorse a war of aggression on the people of Iraq and the Middle East. Could be because anywhere inside the five boroughs the crowds outside the venue will be 10:1 for Sanders. Not good optics.
