Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders agree to Brooklyn debate ahead of N.Y. primary

IDK about that. He seemed pretty resistant to the idea.

He's got the momentum right now. What's he so scared of in another debate?

Like I said, he's not scared. He's the one who fought for it. Hillary was scared. Which is why they initially said they wouldn't debate unless sanders changed his "tone". Then when that backlashed on the clinton campaign they started shotgunning out clearly inconvenient dates just to be able to say it was sanders who was trying to back out.

Crappy politics as usual.
 
I think I see Sanders coming out swinging, and not relenting this debate. He has to gather more support before the NY primary, and by showing who truly represents the people, by taking off the mud-covered Hillary he can hope to change the direction of this nomination. If he can win NY, I think the eccentric in California may endorse him (Since he is a true Democratic Socialist, and the young'ins love him.), and those are two massive states right there, I'm still not quite sure of California. I think he will be bringing out the.....

However this is purely my dream >_> I would definitely prefer Sanders over Hillary.

I think Sanders may be too nice but if he can overcome that, and tone it up about 9 notches, he would be golden.

I'm questioning the utility of debates at this point. There've been how many so far and it took a simple sit down with the New York Daily News editorial board to lay bare the fact that Bernie is clueless when it comes to talking about his own signature issue? If we've gone this far without debate moderators asking him basic questions like "do you know what Dodd Frank or the Federal Reserve do?" (no) or "do you even know what it means to break up a bank?" (no again), what's the point of these? Do we need yet another forum for Bernie to pivot back to his slogans and excerpts of his stump speeches while displaying no depth beyond them?

His spokesperson is right, that time would be better spent for him among his hordes of adoring undergrads.

So you apparently have a psychic insight to the mind of Bernie and are able to confirm his ignorance on these matters? Telepathy to match your evident prescience with respect to his debates I suppose.

Granted, as a Hillarite, you are probably right to fear a repeat of the Univision debate which was a disaster for Clinton.

What poweRob said: Bernie is the one who wanted the debate, and as I've pointed out earlier, Hillary's campaign initially threatened to back out in the event he didn't 'mind his tone', apparently oblivious to the fact that Clinton will have to endure far worse from the GOP if she makes it that far.

Sadly it doesn't take a psychic. It's been increasingly apparent that he's far out of his depth here.

Per what?

Would love to know where this apparently unfounded surety comes from; other than the supernatural of course.

Well lookie here. Seems that the language from Bernie fans has become as infantile as that of Republicans!

If you're referring to 'Hillarite' its not exactly a new term, necessarily negative, nor nearly as bad as the explicitly condescending 'Bernie bro' nonsense that people like yourself are so fond of. I personally use it as an abbreviation as opposed to typing out a tedious longhand equivalent like 'Hillary supporter'.

Your sophomoric attempt at attributing Republican style infantilism to Bernie supporters falls completely and predictably flat.
