Sanders Campaign Statement on New York Debate
APRIL 2, 2016
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. Bernie Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs issued the following statement Saturday on a debate in New York with Hillary Clinton:
We are very pleased that Secretary Clinton finally has accepted our request for a debate about the needs of New York and America. Unfortunately, the dates and venues she has proposed dont make a whole lot of sense. The idea that they want a debate in New York on a night of the NCAA finals with Syracuse in the tournament no less is ludicrous. We have proposed other dates which they have rejected. We hope we can reach agreement in the near future. The people of New York and America deserve to see and hear a debate on the important issues facing the state and country.

(14,923 posts)....her campaign will be on the phone pronto that evening trying to set up a debate date for New York, just like she did in New Hampshire. What a weak candidate who comfortably campaigns on evasive tactics, lies and smears in order to prop up her leadership image...
The 3AM phone call will be greeted with her voice message saying..'Please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible...if it's an emergency,....err, well,...I'll get back to you on that...'

Oh common they make plenty of Sense. If you are a Candidate that in last few debates you got your ass so soundly handed to you in them. You would want to have next debate during the first landing of Aliens outside the WH so not many people would see you once again get burned by the Bern. So since that event is not going to happen the NCAA Finals is next best thing.
Maybe he is not lying but just trying not to to be rude, but they do make allot of sense to me why Clinton proposed the times/dates.
