Hillary seems to be afraid to debate Bernie in New York. Why is that?

(2,353 posts)She doesn't like to be seen by too many people in public... Something about poll numbers dropping every time that happens.

I think, for Hillary, accents are a fashion thing, if you know what I'm saying.

(1,065 posts)it's ridiculous. Aren't we adults? Can't we read between the lines, even if you're a Hillary supporter.
She's scared to lose votes and doesn't see the point in a debate because it will only cost her.
Which is perfectly fine, makes sense. However, she can't say that I guess because then she would lose votes anyways
However it's getting kind of obvious. Just get it over and done with, she's a good debater no? The sooner the better I guess she could talk about Sanders taxes as a talking point. And him investing in corporations which is apparently a bad thing.
OH Yeah, Clinton is used to being invested by corporations. She must not get it.

(8,745 posts)It perfectly fine strategy for a game, but this is a democracy. It is part of a worrying lack of transparency by Clinton. As if we didn't have enough of that under the Bush administration.
It also suggests that she has no desire to get pushed further to the left. Is anyone around here NOT expecting her to lurch to the right if she gets the nomination?

Unresolved scandals coming back
to re-visit her.
If she can only hold on till sundown...
gotta... hold... on.
That, and she knows she
will be shredded in a debate with Bernie.
The gig is up.
