CNBC: "Trump-Sanders debate would be Hillary Clinton's worst nightmare" (It's not too late Hillary!)

[Attorney in Texas]

Before linking and excerpting the article, I want to point out that if Hillary simply un-reneges on the agreed upon debate schedule, she reaps these benefits:

* she gets primetime access to a huge audience for free
* she has a perfectly timed platform to give her general election message
* she gets a chance to show herself more centrist than Sanders
* she avoids the Trump-Sanders debate that makes her look scared to debate

Link to Trump-Sanders debate would be Hillary Clinton's worst nightmare; excerpt:

Just when you thought the 2016 election was starting to get a little predictable, a big wrench has been thrown into the works.

A Donald Trump vs. Bernie Sanders debate in the coming days before the June 7th California primary is getting closer to becoming a reality. If this happens, it will likely be a huge boost for Sanders.... He was given no chance to even make a dent in Mrs. Clinton's inevitable coronation, er presidential nomination, by the Democrats. ... Needless to say, if Sanders wins this primary it will wound Mrs. Clinton greatly. ... For a campaign that's been suffering a number of failures lately, its refusal to debate Sanders and setting off this alternative contest vs. Trump is perhaps the biggest failure yet. ... It's also not wise for Clinton to allow any major campaign event to occur without her participation.

2. the Hillarians will be *screaming* that this hurts their candidate.

Hillary was part-and-parcel of the debate deal and agreed to debate with Bernie in California, provided she got the debate(s) she wanted, which she did. Now she doesn't want to keep her word and debate Bernie. Fine. She should have no problem with Bernie debating Trump.

4. Debating whose policies benefit most Americans generally DOES hurt Hillary's candidacy

3. CNBC? That's a credible source?

Why are Bernie supporters posting stuff from right-wing cable networks. Suddenly, Fox News is credible and now CNBC.

Have any Bernie supporters sat through a morning of CNBC? They're the financial version of Rush!

5. When did Rupert Murdoch buy CNBC? Which media you not yet burned in the bonfire yet?
