So, not a lie. Now, if he said he landed somewhere under sniper fire and he obviously didn't, that would be a lie. Or, if he said all SOS kept a private server for their government emails, that would be a lie.

Republicans have known that for 35 yrs since they've been lying about Clinton. Sanders learned from the masters.

The will decide who the nominee will be, not the pledged delegates.

I don't like that, nor does Bernie, but's it how the convention has been organized by the DP leadership.

Obviously if a politician wants to get his/her message across, he/she needs to broadcast it from every possible venue. But I do agree that Sanders is no Democrat -not when he's spent a quarter century telling us how terrible we are. He can join the party if he wants to. After all, it's a big tent.

He has given the Dems a majority in some cases by caucusing with them. Yet, because he stands against your preferred candidate, he is no friend of yours. Your short-sighted view is what chases people from the party.

And I couldn't care less if he 'stands' with Clinton or not. But trash-talking her and the Democratic Party serves no purpose but to make himself feel relevant.

Just pointing out the hypocrisy of some who previously did. I don't 'fault' for Sanders for agreeing to a debate run by Fox News. If Clinton doesn't want to, I understand that, too.

Full video:



"In a Wednesday afternoon statement, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said the Vermont senator has accepted an invitation from Fox News to debate "with the understanding that we can reach mutual agreement on the debate moderators, the format and other details.”

Weaver said both campaigns in January agreed to hold a debate in May in California, adding that the Clinton campaign has “balked at keeping that pledge.”

“More than half way through the month of May, we hope Secretary Clinton will soon make good on her campaign’s commitment and agree to a time and pace for a debate,” Weaver said in the statement.

“There are issues of enormous importance facing the people of California and our nation and the people of our largest state deserve to hear the Democratic candidates [sic] opinions."
