Bernie Sanders said on "This Week" with george stephanopoulos on ABC NEWS Sunday morning he was confident that he and Hillary Clinton would debate in New York before the primary in the state later this month.

1. Thank you, I didn't see all of it, but I think the discussion following mentioned something about a

"shot-gun" wedding

2. ...antagonistic interviews

Horrible to have to be on some kind of firing squad to be interviewed.
Question after question is to discredit the interviewee.

Horrible!

Bernie did great.

The news people need to offer up supportive questions as the meat of the interview.
I say that for all the people they interview, not just Bernie.

3. Stephie made it clear from the moment he started that he was purely a Clinton advocate

"You've had a little bit of a streak" (7 of the last 8 primaries by comfortable to overwhelming margins) but yesterday you split the delegates (in the small state of Wyoming with a whopping 14 delegates) "so you're not getting any closer".

"You say 220, the AP says 250." As if George knows that delegates from the Washington landslide haven't been fully allocated to Bernie yet. George is new to politics, doesn't know stuff like that.

Then on to the will you really fight for superdelegates question?

"She's getting more votes."

"Did your emotions get the best of you there?" on the unqualified remark.

"She didn't say you were unqualified." (No, she just refused to say he was qualified and said that was for others to decide.)

"President Obama supported that, is he not qualified?"

On the Bill Clinton racist rant this week, Stephie immediately pivots to "the underlying issue there is the 1994 Crime Bill which you supported. Do you have any second thoughts about that?" (knowing full well that it was a bill with all kinds of provisions and Bernie warned in speeches at the time of the potential consequences of what he thought were the bad parts of it. Stephie understood the bill in so much detail he could recall what was in the House and Senate versions when Bernie started to respond.)

"So what exactly do you think President Clinton should apologize for?" Really George?

"The families of the victims of gun violence are calling on you to apologize." No mention that the ones he's referring to are Hillary campaign surrogates that she has used as props, or that other victims have harshly criticized Hillary for politicizing their tragedies.


I don't see any benefit to Bernie going on shows like this, and I think he should demand that the upcoming ABC debate be moderated by somebody who didn't work in the Clinton administration and make a significant donation to the Clinton Foundation.
