In 08 Hillary accused Obama of avoiding debates

[AgingAmerican]

Now she only want's 1/4 as many as she had against Obama. Why? Is it because of the outcome of that election?

1. "Now she only want's 1/4 as many as she had against Obama"

When did Hillary say she only wants 1/4 as many?

Please provide a link.

Thank you in advance.

4. So frustrating

The DNC along with RNC made the 6 debate limit. Both parties agreed to limit debates with other groups. No candidate made decisions.

[AgingAmerican]

5. 26/6 = 4.33

Thus 6 debates = roughly 1/4

If she wanted more, she would say so.

7. "Now she only want's 1/4 as many as she had against Obama"

Can you back up your claim that "she only want's 1/4 as many as she had against Obama?"

Still waiting on your link...

[AgingAmerican]

9. I await your link

Where she says she wants more debates. Both the other candidates have stated such.

[Cali_Democrat]

11. So you made a claim in your OP and you can't back it up.

Next time don't make claims you can't back up with evidence.

[AgingAmerican]

18. So you are saying she want's more debates?

Link?

[Cali_Democrat]

22. I never made any claims.

I asked you to back up your claim in the OP which you failed to do.

Next time don't make claims you can't back up.

16. When they got nothin...

2. WE could all agree there needs to be more debates and do something about it.

I have often provided the link to contact the DNC

Or did we just want to talk about it?

3. Excuse me.....

how does having many many many candidates doing many many debates work out for their party?

Do we not pop popcorn in anticipation of them? Why is it funny....because its watching them eat their own....and it provides lots of ammunition with which to attack them....Maybe one or two more might be okay....but the more you have....the more it hurts your entire party...not just that single election....it hurts down ticket too....and that is one place we can ILL AFFORD to take for granted.

6. In 08 she accused Obama of avoiding debates

Now?

Crickets.

[VanillaRhapsody]

8. and? Did she get it?

Was it a good political move at the time? Yes.....is it in her best interest to have more now...just because Sanders Supporters want her to? No it isn't.....she is not going to do YOUR bidding....this is her election to lose!

You damn right crickets!

[AgingAmerican]

10. So you admit she is avoiding debates

nt

[VanillaRhapsody]

12. I am saying....I don't blame her for not running after them...

It seems the ONLY ones demanding it....are her opponents.....so its good for them for sure! That's what I am saying.

You think Bernie after 40 yrs and 3 debates is not enough to know what he is all about? No...that is not what you ultimately want anyways....you want more opportunity for Hillary to fail.....sorry but you are being kinda disingenuous here! Its not about "more Bernie" at all. You seem to think though that Hillary cannot debate well....and that more debates will be more of her failing. I think when she starts speaking, you are going to be sadly mistaken that you thought she could speak well for herself.

[AgingAmerican]

14. I want the Media to be forced

To stop 'hiding' Bernie Sanders message from the public. If Bernie getting his message heard = "Hillary fail" then that's her own doing, not mine or Bernies.

[VanillaRhapsody]

17. then talk to the media....why are you demanding SHE defend your position.....

its not in her best interests to do so....You know damn well you are ONLY demanding she do more of them BECAUSE you want her to fail...its your only hope! Therefore its not HIM you are worried about....you just want HER under the microscope! You want HER in front of the camera because you "think" she doesn't do well in public speaking BECAUSE she is not doing your bidding that she do so! She is much better at public speaking then some seem to remember! She is running her race...not yours! Its called "pacing yourself" for the long haul!

[AgingAmerican]

19. So it's all about me?

lol

You are essentially saying that cheating is her strategy. Collude with the media to silence her opponents message, collude with the DNC to silence her opponents message, etc. Sounds like corruption to me.

[VanillaRhapsody]

13. She is not avoiding debating....she will do just fine in the debates.....

She is avoiding the Sanders supporters and their Rightwing cohorts who are desperate for her to make mistakes! Because its their only chance....which Bernie is currently is stuck at 12%! Meanwhile the election is still HERS to lose. She is playing her hand well....you don't have to like it. That is what being that far ahead and in the poll position means....you play the game against yourself and not them...if you all want more debates...then fight for it. I mean you are a "revolution" in the making right? Why should she fight for something that will only benefit her opponents. You want more...then do something about it. Why should she be required to prop up your side?

21. I agree with you!!! this is her election to lose!

And she will.

[CanadaexPat]

23. And she's doing a great job of it, just like before.

[tritsofme]

15. You always want more debates when you're losing. The leader or frontrunner is happy with less.

That's Politics 101.

20. Which candidate has the momentum?

And which candidate is waning?

She was 70% ahead of him in May. How's is that lead holding up 5 months before the first primary?

As long as Sanders has the momentum, he is winning.
