Sanders Tentatively Accepts Fox News Invitation To Proposed Dem Debate

Bernie Sanders’ campaign has tentatively accepted an invitation to a proposed Fox News-hosted Democratic presidential debate provided they can reach a “mutual agreement” with Hillary Clinton.

The campaign released a statement Wednesday after Fox News invited both Democratic presidential candidates to a final debate in California before the June 7 primaries.

“Both campaigns have been invited by Fox News to a debate. We have told the network that we would accept the invitation with the understanding that we can reach mutual agreement on the debate moderators, the format and other details,” Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager, said in a statement.

Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, has not yet said whether she’d attend. The campaigns earlier this year agreed in principle to hold a May debate.

1. Will she or won't she?????? Oh the suspense.

[Sunlei]

2. Senator Sanders should not trust fox, its always been Republican TV.

I think they BOTH should refuse anything offered from fox-lies.

[rurallib]

5. very first thing to cross my mind also - but would love to see Trump on that stage also, though

It would be great if Bernie and Hillary could do a tag team on the orange haired liar.

[tomm2thumbs]

3. in a sense, what's the point - she'll never answer a question straightforwardly

he may as well debate a habitual liar

[840high]

19. She always talks on and on

and never says anything.

[left-of-center2012]

4. Clinton will refuse ...

She wants to be thought of as THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.
Sharing a stage with Bernie would be beneath her.

[oberliner]

6. Why Fox News?

Surely there is a better venue.

[BeyondGeography]

7. Fuck Fox

[rockfordfile]

16. Yeah Fox News the right wing propaganda network

[karynnj]

8. Although I can imagine that HRC would not want another debate, wasn't there suppose to be one in CA?

What was the agreement they had on debates? That said, I doubt Fox News is a good choice.

[winter is coming]

9. There was supposed to be one in May. Not sure that a state was specified. n/t

[karynnj]

10. Thanks, I was trying to find a link and just finding what you stated

That they agreed to Flint MI, an unspecified April one (which ended up being Brooklyn) and a final May one. I wonder if HRC will feel she needs to keep her agreement.

[winter is coming]

12. If she won't, maybe Trump would be willing to debate Bernie.

That would make Hillary look like a chump, which would no doubt appeal to Trump.

23. interesting idea nt

[hack89]

11. No point in a debate. Hillary needs to focus on the GE nt

[StevieM]

13. Regardless of whether or not there is another debate, Democrats shouldn't be debating on Fox News.

eom

[Paladin]

25. +1000. (nt)

[Kingofalldems]

14. Eff Fox. It will be an ambush debate.

[wisteria]

15. If I were Clinton I would say no.

She doesn't need another debate. It is simply an entertainment set up for Fox ratings.

[rockfordfile]

17. Fox News has had terrible ratings for awhile now

[TomCADem]

18. Brilliant Move On Bernie's Part - Three Dimensional Chess!

Rather than accepting a debate from some other news outlet, Bernie is preemptively choosing Fox News. If Hillary declines, she looks weak, and Bernie and Fox can attack her. If Hillary accepts, then Fox and Bernie can totally disqualify her prior to the California election. Between Fox, Bernie and Trump, Bernie has a great chance to win big in California.

[NobodyHere]

20. Why do I get the feeling Fox News is trying to drive the wedge further into the Democratic party

[Scout]

22. what's the point?

who needs to hear his stump speech AGAIN?

he's lost.

go home.

[Gamecock Lefty]

24. Hillary's not afraid to debate . . .

She's won every debate so far!

Say goodnight, Bernie.

[liberal N proud]

26. Please, I have seen all of this that I can handle...

[bigdarryl]

27. We don't need no more stinking debates especially from FOX NOISE

All there going to do is attack Clinton with bullshit questions
