I thought this was interesting, and might be an interesting watch. BET is holding a Presidential forum for issues related to criminal justice. It will be held 11/21. The candidates who agreed to take part are Bernie Sanders, Martin OMalley, and Ben Carson.
Hillary Clinton was invited, but decided to opt out. Being that this is a pretty hot and controversial topic, its maybe not surprising she didnt want to take the risk, especially after her missteps in the last Presidential debate in Iowa. The good news for Bernie, is that it could be a great way to introduce himself to more potential voters.

protecting that image from scrutiny I see!

her I suppose. But people notice these things, they wonder why a candidate is being so protected from the people.
