http://digital.vpr.net/post/too-few-democratic-debates-sanders-looks-debate-republicans-So the Sanders campaign is considering a plan to set up their own debates with some of the Republican candidates.
-To deal with this situation, the Sanders campaign is looking at the possibility of organizing its own debates with various Republican candidates.
-"You obviously have to find somebody who wants to debate with you and then you have to find someone to host it. All the candidates are running around they have their own schedules, so it is something that we are working on," Weaver says.
"No promises, obviously, but it is something that Bernie has expressed a strong interest in doing." Weaver says.
Weaver says he would like these additional debates to focus on a specific topic such as the economy, the environment and the future of Social Security and Medicare.
Go Bernie Go!!!!!

But a good host would be crucial, since all of those clowns are likely to behave like O'Reilly and just shout louder, if not kept under control.
They don't play well with others.
