Sanders campaign: Is Clinton ‘afraid’ of NY debate?

"This is not us demanding more debates, this is us asking to do what the Clinton people have already agreed to do,” Sanders’s campaign manager Jeff Weaver told MSNBC, according to the Washington Examiner.
“It would be very, very dishonest for them not to do the debates they have promised to do,” he added. “They promised to do one in March, we said let’s do it in Michigan, that’s where it happened. Another one coming up in April, and there’s another on coming up in May.”

Clinton’s campaign warned Monday that Sanders needed to change his “tone” for the former secretary of State to attend. "

IMHO, Hillary will announce that there will be a debate in NY and it was all her idea from the beginning.

Of any unscripted performance that hasn't been focus group tested and crafted by her legion of highly paid consultants.

The more people see the real Mrs. Clinton, the less they like her. Exposure is not her ally.

best ever. I really enjoyed getting to know her on that level. She's a brilliant woman and quite fascinating to me.

You thought she was being spontaneous.

Do yourself a favor. Don't play cards for money.

I think she thinks she is punishing him. So far, here at least, she is the loser in this exchange.

Bernie is the real deal - it's his home state

She used NY to further her stepping stones - she is and always has been an opportunist of the first degree

To highlight her record and lack of accomplishments during her 8 years there.

She is popular here and she not the first person in recent history to do what she did.

We have a history of electing people from other states to the senate.

Fracking was a very contentious debate in NY. Like a whole host of issues, Hillary is on the wrong side of it.

However, as she campaigns in NY, she'll probably suddenly be against it.
