Sen. Bernie Sanders has accepted a Fox News invitation for a Democratic debate in California, the Sanders campaign announced on Wednesday.
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.
Fox News has expressed interest in holding a Democratic debate for months and has been publicly lobbying the Democratic National Committee. In March, both Sanders and Clinton participated in back-to-back town halls with Fox host Bret Baier. On Tuesday, Fox News sent a formal letter to both campaigns inviting them to a debate, the Washington Post reported. The letters and the Sanders campaign's statements didn't specify a time or place, though Fox News said he debate would be moderated by anchors Megyn Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace, who have been roundly praised for their handling of three Republican debates.
Back in February the Clinton and Sanders campaigns agreed to extend the Democratic debate schedule by four more debates. Three have been held, but the final debate, to be held in California in May before the state's June 7 primary according to the agreement, didn't seem to be on anyone's mind as of last week. The public statement accepting the debate is similar to the public negotiation the Sanders and Clinton campaigns engaged in before the last Democratic debate, hosted by CNN in Brooklyn, which came together just ten days before the event. A Sanders adviser told POLITICO last week that they expected a similarly public debate about the debate to happen again.
"The DNC will continue to facilitate negotiations with both of our candidates," DNC spokesman Luis Miranda said in an email.
A Clinton campaign spokesperson and Fox News did not immediately respond to requests for

(25,453 posts)If it was agreed to, part of me says do it just so there's one fewer thing for them to whine about, plus he would have to publicly respond to the NV debacle. But, it's not like it's going to change anything because math.

(15,438 posts)a debate from Fox "News" Channel. Even if she chooses to do so, at least she knows how we think about it.
She's won this already. She knows it but she doesn't know if WE know it. So it might help if we let her know that we do.
TwilightZone
(25,453 posts)If it's going to be done, Fox is the last place it should be hosted.
She knows. She also knows that we know. She and her supporters tend to be realists, after all.

(2,542 posts)CA and NJ and DC aren't going to magically flip to Bernie because one late debate got skipped due to the writing being already on the wall. In flashing neon. With multiple spotlights on it. HRC has the position of strength here. She both could, and should, just ignore this petulant outburst.

Hillary has the nomination, there is no more reason for her to debate, but the BS campaign has become so ugly there'll be riots if the DNC and HRC don't agree. Bernie is not thinking about anyone else but himself. God I'mreally getting to hate him.

The only thing I wanted to hear from Sanders was a full condemnation of all lawlessness on the part of his rabid bros, which he did not give.
Who the hell needs another debate at this stage?
Oh yeah Bernie's $$$ ran out and he needs free publicity in California.
If I was Hillary I'd tell him and Fox to put it where the sun don't shine.
Its probably a trap anyway. Fox wants to use Bernie as a weapon against Hillary, the dem nominee.

(10,893 posts)Somebody needs to make a documentary of his campaign and title it "how NOT to run a campaign". Seriously, agreeing to FOX debates as a person running in the Democratic primaries? Sticking his fingers in his ears while harassment is going on from his supporters? Repeating the same things over and over in every debate and speech? Complaining about a rigged process while losing by tons of votes and delegates?
This has to be one of the worst campaigns in history. I don't have any respect for him anymore. He needs to take a seat.

(3,737 posts)and clapping during the debate. Then her people should make sure Fox News asks BS about 1. Jane driving a community college into bankruptcy and then taking a golden parachute 2.Those tax returns that he refuses to release 3. Those essays he wrote in college 4.The violence at Nevada convention 5.The threats against Nev. chairpersons life etc. 6. Why he continues to tell his supporters that he can win the nomination and keeps taking their money 7. Why he and his supporters are outraged about bogus claims of "rigging" the election but didn't give a **** when black voters had to wait hours in line to vote in 2012. That ought to get things rolling. If Bernie is so sure he is going to be he nominee, then the vetting needs to start right now.

including the Democratic Party Establishment the very entity that invited him in and afforded him the national recognition he would never have gotten outside of New England as an independent, little know socialist.
Sanders needs new material. That "establishment" stuff, straight out of the '60s, is a tad dated. I mean he smeared Planned Parenthood as part of the establishment. Planned Parenthood? I mean, come on, way to alienated women.
Anyway, we don't need another debate, just as we didn't need what has turned out to be a Trojan horse coming in to split the party.
We should've said "no thank you" and left it at the gate.
BlueMTexpat
(15,366 posts)We already know his stump speech by heart.
Of course, it would be great if someone asked him about the events in NV and about his supporters in CA screaming cr** at Hillary supporters and tearing up children's posters.
So perhaps it wouldn't be a bad thing. Let him justify those actions ("because revolution, of course" on national TV and dig himself in even deeper.
NOT. A. PRESIDENT.
