Brian Fallon says the HRC campaign offered the 4, 14, and the 15th of April for debate. HRC ROOM

[hrmjustin]

And the Sanders campaign has rejected it.

I think it is clear the Sanders campaign is playing games.

In a statement, @brianefallon says the Clinton camp offered 3 dates for a NY debate - 4/5, 4/14 & 4/15 - and Sanders camp rejected all 3.

At this point, it seems like Sanders camp is more interested in having fake excuses to attack Hillary Clinton than actually debating in NY

We were told Sanders was willing to debate on @GMA. Then when we accepted, he balked. Wld be bigger audience than recent nighttime debates

1. Sanders has run the sleaziest campaign ever n/t

[BlueMTexpat]

2. My erstwhile liking

for Sanders has just dropped another couple notches.

[Iliyah]

3. His favorability is going downward

4. Watching, having popcorn!!

lol!!

[Lil Missy]

5. Yes, seems all they want to accomplish is to stir shit.

[SharonClark]

18. So agree.

[still_one]

6. The only one that is a valid rejection is the 4/5, since that is the Wisconsin primary. It is

garbage that he refused both 4/14 and 4/15.

The OP is right, his campaign is playing games.

Three different dates, and he rejects all three, backs down from a Good Morning America debate which he suggested to do.

When the primaries started, I had a favorable view of Sanders. I no longer have that view of Sanders. I give a lot of the credit to his supporters, and his campaign for helping me arrive at that view

7. Actually it was the 4th not the 5th of April. The reporter posted a typo but I copied it.

It would be the day before.

[still_one]

9. Thanks, sorry about that, I should have looked at the title line more closely

Regardless, a rejection of all three dates just reinforces what a jerk him and his campaign are

[hrmjustin]

10. He is playing games now and the media here in NY need to go after him on that.

[still_one]

12. ++++++++++++++++++++++++

[LAS14]

26. I agree. I miss the days when we could be proud...

... of both our candidates. Now I'm reduced to looking for one liners to sling around about Bernie's tax returns. Just so he has to spend time and moral capital defending himself. On same grounds, I'm happy that they rejected all 3 dates. Does anyone know why? That is, their public reason?

8. Enormous K & R. Thanks for posting.

13. But it's hard work

Waving your arms and wagging your finger.

[mcar]

14. K&R

[wisteria]

15. Sander's camp says big game one night

But, what about the other two?

Yeah, they are playing games. I dislike his campaign tactics more and more. And, Sander's too.

[Treant]

16. Why would he want to debate?

Every time he does, his ratings seem to drop a point or two.

[Lil Missy]

21. Good question. And Hillary always wins the debate!

[Dawson Leery]

17. Bernie's plan is to vilify Hillary.

He started this debate thing to make Hillary look bad. Horrible SOB.

[Historic NY]

19. He's trying to use it to fun raise on a win in Wisconsin...

meanwhile Bernies people screwed over Hillary taking Clark County delegate in Nevada.

[leftofcool]

20. He knows he will lose this debate just like he lost all the other ones.

[misterhighwasted]

22. Too bad brrnie. You had your chance. Your days of being coddled are over

Shouldn't have run such a hateful campaign.
$16 million to drive a media message of smear against Hillary Clinton.
That's a lot of bought & paid for campaign smear & censorship of her message.
Wow..that's sad.
Maybe explains why he suddenly doesn't want a debate.
Oops!

[DesertRat]

23. The three Pinocchios man uses fake excuses to attack Hillary rather than actually debating in NY

#WhyWontBernieDebate

[UtahLib]

24. Not at all surprised nt

[Lucinda]

25. I stand by my assessment that this whole thing is to rile up his supporters and to raise funds
