2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: only a weak and frightened candidate refuses to honor a debate agreement [View all]synergie
(1,901 posts)59. So refusing to honor agreements is a "screaming piece of evidence"
of unfitness for office and proof that a campaign is imploding at a fast rate?
So when Bernie refuses to raise funds for down ticket candidates, and refused to debate in Flint and refuses to debate in PA, this according to you is a "screaming piece of evidence" of Bernie's unfitness for any office, that his campaign is imploding at an accelerated rate of decay? I guess that makes sense, he needs to keep all that money he's bragging about raising for himself, and forget honoring agreements he made, and lying vilely and personally about his opponent.
Yes, it does actually look like it's splintering apart now, poor Bernie, even his supporters can see it, even if they can't quite accept it yet.

Clear and obvious desperation on Sanders' part. He NEEDS a debate, and she does't.

There's more to American politics than one vote from 12 years ago. No wonder your candidate is FAIL.
