a bit later in the article.

In the interview on CNN on Tuesday, host Alisyn Camerota challenged Finney on the reasoning behind their reluctance to participate in more debates, pointing out that most campaigns often point out their opponents' negatives as the election season progresses.

“I’m all for that, but don’t then say, set a standard at the beginning of the campaign and say one thing and then decide you’re going to play it another way just because," Finney answered. "And by the way, I think this is an important point — if we have a debate in New York, I can guarantee you Hillary Clinton would do very well. Not just because she does well at debates, but because this is a state that knows her well, knows that when she says she’s gonna do something she gets it done.”

Pressed on why the Clinton camp would not be moved about debating in New York, Finney reiterated that "the point is less about do we agree or disagree about ‘should we debate in New York?’ and more about ‘Let’s talk about the tone of this campaign’ and again, let’s talk about we had a process by which we were talking about debates.


Bernie's campaign is sounding and acting more and more like the campaign of any other politician. Whoodda thunk?
