Sanders steps up in California — will Clinton?

[NWCorona]

Sen. Bernie Sanders made plain Tuesday that he is not just coming to California to raise money and hold rallies. He is here to talk issues, take questions — and to press front-runner Hillary Clinton to make good on her commitment for a May debate in the Golden State.


“This is the largest state in the country,” Sanders said during a meeting with The Chronicle. “You have a right to hear how the presidential candidates intend to address many serious problems facing this great state.”

We agree that Clinton should keep the promise she made in February to participate in three previously unscheduled debates, including one in California. She may have a significant lead in delegates, but she has yet to clinch the nomination or compel Sanders to leave the race — and, until that happens, she has an obligation to do more than go through the motions of campaigning.

Sanders made plain in his 50-minute meeting that he has not given up, and he served a succession of reminders that there are significant policy differences between the two candidates.

5. Hillary needs to focus on the GE

A debate with Bernie gains her nothing

[Jitter65]

9. It gains Bernie by the numbers of screaming supporters who are trying to influence the supers.

Hillary is well prepared to debate so have at it. Bernie will be suffering from over-exposure soon.

10. Clinton hasn't been over-exposed for years?

She works happily for and with Republicans.
Let a Democrat/Progressive differ with her and the back-stabbing and blood-letting begin.

6. Sanders whines and accuses, Clinton gets it done, with every debate.

[OwlinAZ]

11. Have you watched a single debate? You are dreaming.

[seabeyond]

12. I have paid attention to Sanders continually demand debates, and do nothing. Clinton gets it done,

Every single time. Sanders blusters and accuses and attacks. Clinton steps up and gets Sanders his debates. Not a thank you to be had, for her of course doing the follow thru and the work. Here he is again, after months watching him whine and accuse, ....

But is a do nothing. All talk.

7. It's over. Bernie lost.

No reason to let Bernie help Trump with another debate. It won't change anything on the Democratic side.

8. "a May debate"

Silly you, it's way to early to start scheduling Clinton-Trump debates.
