Hillary should reject Bernie's request for another debate unless he behaves himself

[Cali_Democrat]

1) Bernie should condemn the actions of his supporters in Nevada.
2) Bernie should directly apologize to the Nevada Democratic chairwoman who received death threats.
3) Bernie should apologize to Barbara Boxer for allowing his supporters to create an environment where she felt unsafe.
4) Bernie should halt his attacks on the Democratic Party.

Until all of this happens, Hillary should reject his request for another debate.

[Lil Missy]

1. What for? She's less than 100 delegates away from the goal line.

[merrily]

2. Hillary, Shultz, the DNC and most of the Party should apologize to Sanders and his supporters.

I hope she does refuse a debate.

[NWCorona]

3. I personally hope that Hillary rejects a debate with Bernie just before the California primary. nt

[oasis]

4. No more debates. Bernie's already consuming too much of the time

Hillary needs to combat the GOP/Trump machine in the GE.

[bvf]

42. That ship has sailed.

Looks like the Democratic party (or, more accurately, what will be left of it) is desperately going to need that influx of Republicans to control the bleeding.

Hope you come to tolerate what the decorators will have done to your "home."

[anotherproletariat]

5. It would be much more fun to watch a debate when BS had done none of these things.

Then the moderators or Hillary could go after him about each and every one. Nothing is more fun that watching the Bernie red-face anger meter during the debates. This one could be epic. Oh, and the finger wagging. I'm so torn...I want to see this so badly, but FOX, really?

[timlot]

6. No More Debates.

Sanders supporters like to hoot and holler at these debates now to embarrass Hillary. They're an unruly bunch and just aren't respectful. Its just a bad look for the eventual nominee.

[texstad79]

15. +1 n/t

[Cali_Democrat]

22. True. nt

[bvf]

43. Clinton doesn't need any help

in the embarrassment department.

Her need to rely on Republicans not quite insane enough to vote for Trump will tell quite a story, starting with her abject failure at the polls.

[Metric System]

7. A debate should be rejected because it's mathematically impossible for him to surpass her in pledged

delegates. I remember in 2008 the Obama campaign said no to more debates with Clinton late in the primary season.

[grasswire]

8. you just don't understand what is going on in America

We are the brink of a split in the Democratic Party. The old authoritarian way v. the new we-the-people MOVEMENT.

"Cracking down" on the movement is the tinder that will feed a firestorm.

The way to calm things would be for Hillary to make some concessions to Bernie right now, to show his millions of followers that they are included in the process.

If HRC cracks down, they are going to either depart or break things.

Authoritarian rule is just going to backfire.

[reddread]

9. doesnt matter what she does

sooner or later the sharks will not be able to resist all the blood in the water.

[pmorlan1]

10. Didn't She Promise

this last debate? If so, how can she go back on her promise?

[cali]

11. Sexist shit.

[Luminous Animal]

16. My first thought was, "mommie, may I?"

[YouDig]

12. Definitely. No debate unless he cleans up his act.

[bvf]

44. Hear that?

Sounds like laughter, and lots of it. Turning your back will help.

[JCanete]

13. She should reject a debate because it does her no favors, and she will .

Even if she loses Cali by a small margin(I'm not thinking she will), she's pretty much got this locked up. It's not worth the risk.

But as to your list, its all manufactured talking point bs. Those things reflect more poorly on the DNC and media's concerted efforts to paint Bernie and his supporters as fringe, thus calling on him to atone for the behavior of isolated actors so as to drape that albatross over his neck, than it actually does on the vast majority of his supporters or his campaign.

Why are you selling this garbage?

[ucrdem]

14. Please, no more debates.

This has been over for weeks. Let him go indy if that's the big scary-ass threat he's using to get the kid glove treatment but this is really getting ridiculous and another debate would make both of them look farcical. He's done either way.

[lunamagica]

17. Hillary should reject Bernie's request for another debate, period.

What's the point? What is he going to say that he hasn't said in all previous debates?

I know his opening statement will begin with "We started at three percent, blah. blah, blah"

Hillary can't waste time on this...she has bigger fish to fry.

[rateyes]

18. And, we all should reject this bullshit post. Hillary promised a May debate, which means

it won't happen. she is not true to her word.

[LiberalFighter]

19. There is no reason for another debate regardless of what happened in Nevada.

Another debate won't help the voters at this point. Well maybe make it easier for them to vote against Sanders.

[sadoldgirl]

20. Your demands are pure nonsense, but let's see who keeps her/ his word.

[dinkytron]

21. Bring him to heel.

[Jude the Obscure]

23. She agreed to the debate

Welshing on a debate wont look good for Clinton in California, unable to finish off Bernie.

In the convention, there will be multiple challenges, and every one of the challenges will be sustained and kick Clinton out. Count on it.

[Cali_Democrat]

26. Clinton will be kicked out? What?

Care to flesh that one out a little more?

Thank you in advance.

[Trenzalore]

30. That was fascinating

They really have no idea how this works.

[MineralMan]

38. You appear to be confused about

how the convention works. Maybe you should watch one.

[imagine2015]

24. Has Hillary said anything yet against the physical attack on a Bernie voter by one of her fans?

Anything at all?

[polly7]

25. LMAO! nt.

[RazBerryBeret]

27. I just hope...

that Hillary uses this line, on national TV, when she refuses to debate.... "not until you behave" THAT would be great.

[Trenzalore]

28. She should debate him

She polls better afterwards.

[AgingAmerican]

29. We have heard this before every debate

Evrrything haves them a sad

[NCTraveler]

31. There is simply no need for another debate.

The debate is between Clinton and Trump.

[silvershadow]

32. Still trying to bring him to heel, I see... nt

[Bill USA]

33. that's a good point!

[hrmjustin]

34. I think she should say no period.

As far as I am concerned this is over.

No need to give him a stage to attack her.

There will be some pushback but it is best to say no.

[Scootaloo]

35. Has she apologized for Wendell Pierce's assault of a woman yet?

[RufusTFirefly]

36. Just for that, Hillary's not going to release those Goldman-Sachs transcripts

And darn it: She was getting sooooo close!

It's your fault, BernieBros! You ruined it for everyone.

[larkrake]

37. please get a clue

[DisgustipatedinCA]

39. Nice post. I reject all of it.

[Bluenorthwest]

40. Behaves himself? This out of the campaign that promotes Ronald fucking Reagan as an AIDS

hero, a candidate whose verbiage has been reckless, hurtful, bigoted and oddly biased toward Republicans, Hillary 'Don't know much about history' Clinton.
You, right here are attacking the Democratic Party. My State just voted for the person you are speaking down to like a child. In a closed Democratic Primary. By a large margin.
Double standards, hypocrisy and it's just so boring.

[jillan]

41. She is not his mommy ffs!!
