Read more @: The Clinton campaign's excuse for not debating Sanders is ridiculous
The excuse coming from the Clinton campaign is pathetic. Excuse me, but stating facts that you do have cozy relationships with Wall Street is not some sort of false slander. IF you dont like facts to be stated then maybe you should partake and have such relations with people... This "tone" argument is bull**** from the Clinton camp. [/FONT][/COLOR]
Welcome to politics 101. Elections are all about ending the day in first place. There is no second place.
There is no good reason for the Clinton camp to allow a chance of a screw up. Were I in the campaign I would be saying the same thing. What shows is what I have been saying all along is one of character. She cannot tell the truth.
In 1986 this province was electing a new premier. Bill Vanderzalm was the clear front runner and had all the momentum. The opposition challenged him to a debate. He said "What for? I would just be giving them publicity they don't deserve".
That would be my response, honesty. And it kills because it underscores who is winning.
Yes, I guess its a good strategy on the Clinton front. But if we view it beyond the "political strategy" point, it shows the true essence of her campaign (which you pointed out). Point being, they are running scared.

I choose to be the optimist and say this is good news for the people that cheer on the idea of a Sanders victory.
Not necessarily, in fact if they had agreed to the debate I would say they are running scared.
And I agree this is true.There is a lot about Clinton's character which I have addressed over the course of time, and at time scathingly so. In this instance it is what any smart campaign manager would do. Bernie Sanders is desperate to be heard; she steps onto a stage with him she is only giving him a soap box and a chance for her to make a mistake.
I disagree. Sanders is killing her on the issues and the only thing she has going for her is name recognition and the still baffling support among the A.A. community. She loses to Sanders on every issue and has been forced to essentially adopt his platform.Were I in the Sanders camp at this juncture I would go negative and in a big way.
"What Tone?" and then hit the real reason "she scared!" I would not do it on a national campaign but she is so far in front it would be worth a "Hail Mary" effort
Eleven oil and gas industry lobbyists bundled $1,327,210 for Clinton’s campaign as of the end of 20153 Pinocchios for Sanders’s claim about Big Oil contributions to Clinton
The former secretary of state accused her opponent's campaign of lying. In the spat over oil-industry donations, a lot depends on what is counted — and how.

These debates should be mandatory for presidential candidates to participate in.

Washington Post is insanely pro-Hillary/anti-Sanders. Take that into consideration.
Perhaps reality is anti-Sanders.
Running 16 negative ads in 16 hours? Unrealistically negative.
Those were not ads. They were news stories.
I meant news stories.
