responses in my sleep. I would not watch another one no matter where it was held. Bernie now just comes across as an angry old man. He knew from the start that his grandiose plans would never get through the House, but he puts the burden on the electorate to do what he could never do in 25 years sitting in the Congress collecting a hefaty paycheck. Then he says he never thought that his plan would be viable in a first term. So yes he's going to get his ambitious plan through in a second term when he's a lame duck. RIGHT.

You support Hillary Clinton.

I support Bernie and I take a Hillary at her word, as does Bernie.
Our mistake, apparently.

I would hope that the irony is not lost on you.

I also hope you are well. It's been a while.

They forged a new agreement when Hillary finally decided that she needed more debates. Remember.

Sanders agreed, but not to just one more debate. He wanted an agreement on more debates.

All parties agreed that there would be more debates, plus one in April, one in May, one in June.

If Hillary is a trustworthy person who doesn't lie and break agreements--she will work with Sanders to hash out the details.

to not want to debate.

Neither candidate is doing anything wrong or different than usual.

What is new is social media, gives the trailing candidate a much better chance to stir shit up which is just how it should be

They agreed to more debates, a long time ago.

She's stalling and playing games.

I think all people voting in our Democratic primaries should be aware of what is going on.

Let them decide for themselves.

If she can't honor her original agreement with Sanders---to have one debate in April, May and June--then maybe she does need to be treated like a child and he does need to take the situation public.

Good for Bernie, I say!

I think the fact that team Hillary threw up that ridiculous demand helped Bernie more than if she agreed to the debate in the first place.

If anyone thinks that this debate won't happen in NY and before the primary. I have a bridge to sell you.

expected a similarly stonewalling response, so they used the ace up their sleeve, the vid. They must be in a hurry, though, to not even wait 48 hours for her response to make the rounds. Or maybe they wanted to keep it in the same news cycle, which also seems to have worked to their advantage.

I hope they keep digging up her "before" videos as a way to make their point. Can't argue that it's not fair play to use what she herself has said.

Why won't Bernie tone down his rhetoric?!? Hillary will debate him if and when he calls her 'your heinous' and when he admits everything she does is correct then promises to fall on his sword.

Remember the auto bailout crap? Michigan didn't buy it. But the point is, Bernie wasn't afraid of her. He debated her before NH, when she wanted to, and agreed to this already. Hillary's bad decision once again, will have her splainin things, again. Defense is not a good place to be.
