And I'd except that strategy if there wasn't two more official debates scheduled. It's not really Hillary's place to say no and not come off looking like she's dodging Bernie.

Also if she thinks this will go over well in NY, she's mistaken.

I think it does make her look weak, but I would think that about anyone who won't debate. Punkingal Mar 2016 #7

I think it's sexist. I know I'm not supposed to think that, but I do. nt BreakfastClub Mar 2016 #41

NY is an expensive state for running ads (Bernie's M.O. so far) and he needs free airtime. CalvinballPro Mar 2016 #14

NY is 63-28 for Clinton as of recent polling. Yeah, so "weak." ROFL nt CalvinballPro Mar 2016 #13

Maybe that's why she doesn't want to debate? NWCorona Mar 2016 #16

Clinton, strong, doesn't need debate. Sanders, weak, needs debate desperately. nt CalvinballPro Mar 2016 #18

Can't see videos because of a work filter, but your concession is otherwise accepted. CalvinballPro Mar 2016 #25

Here's my take on the Bernie request for another debate. ladjf Mar 2016 #15

It's not a request by Bernie NWCorona Mar 2016 #19

I must be uninformed. I was under the assumption that Bernie wanted another ladjf Mar 2016 #23

The issue is that there's supposed to be one in April and one in May NWCorona Mar 2016 #27

Thanks of straightening me out on this point. nt ladjf Mar 2016 #29

No problem! NWCorona Mar 2016 #31

All agreed to one debate "in April" and one debate "in May." Sanders is acting like he sets the date CalvinballPro Mar 2016 #28

You are right about one thing... ljm2002 Mar 2016 #44
