Allies of Hillary Clinton say the Democratic front-runner should feel no pressure to appear in another debate against Bernie Sanders.
Sanders accepted an invitation by Fox News earlier this week to take part in an upcoming debate ahead of the California primary. But Clinton, who is 90 delegates away from clinching the Democratic nomination, hasn't agreed to participate.
Nor should she, allies say.
"There's nothing to debate," said one longtime ally and confidante. "There's nothing new. You can run these debates on loop. The attacks are all the same. And we cannot tolerate his tired, old attacks that continue to disunite the party at a time when it's supposed to be united."
A former Clinton aide said Sanders should be allowed to finish campaigning in the primary but he should also give Clinton the space she needs to focus on the general without creating "more friction."
"It's basically over," the former aide said. "He needs to work on uniting the party, not scheduling another debate."
As of Friday afternoon, there was no word on whether the debate would happen.

The former aide should be saying now is the time for Bernie AND Hillary to unit the party - it is not his task alone. In fact Bernie can not unit the party without Hillary.

(13,877 posts)flip flop and does not keep her word. 20 or so years of this crap and people still want her to represent us? She does it so naturally, guess that's why people like her.
A narciccistic liar...I was marred briefly to one of those. No boundaries or moral compas...just whatever is convenient in the moment. And for that moment they truly believe it, thus it has the air of.truth. But it is always subject to change, at another convenient time. (He's now a local politician for whom HRC can do no wrong. Lol)
She embodies the worst of the back room politics.
