For Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, a Debate Over More Debates Brews

A new skirmish over debates is brewing between the Democratic presidential campaigns, with the two camps unable to reach agreement so far on dates and locations for the final matchups between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders....

Team Sanders wants to hold the next debate in New York, a delegate-rich state that will hold its primary on April 19. The Clinton camp has declined, Mr. Weaver said, and has advocated for a debate in Pennsylvania, where primary voters will go to the polls on April 26.

And I think even that is being generous.

If you can't frucking make up your mind after 25+ debates, candidate forums and town hall meetings than you are hopeless.

I don't need to listen to Sanders give his standard "a noun, a verb and evil billionaires" answers to a question about what he ate for lunch that day. We've heard it. It's boring. Move on.

Hillary has put up with his Johnny One Note "debate" style long enough, and so have we.

No more primary debates. They've ceased being informative, at least from Sanders' side.

...on the issues from a single one of the debates.

What we have learned about him, though:

He likes to point at people
He likes to flail his arms like he's leading the Philharmonic Orchestra
In one he forgot to blow and/or wipe his nose until the first break
He's very comfortable raising his hand while Clinton's speaking, almost as though he has to go pee pee
He likes to interrupt and get snarly

Positions? Issues? Not a word.

I'd like to hear Bernie's specific and detailed ideas/positions on foreign policy...if he has any.

to extend his fauxmentum before the NY closed democratic primary and the fact that his campaign is trying to paint Hillary in a negative light over what should be simple behinds doors negotiation shows it. I'd give him 1 debate on the 25th in PA, just because of their behavior in the past 24 hours. Otherwise, Sanders can shout in the dark all he wants. Trumps going to do something to make him and his campaign a non story up until Clinton's NY win. Foreign policy would also have to be the topic of the debate.
