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.

and the rationale, too--"we won't debate because Sanders' campaign so far has been MisterP Mar 2016 #1

Yes, in a letter posted earlier in the day nadinbrzezinski Mar 2016 #4

What would be the point of having a debate in NY AFTER the primary? Luminous Animal Mar 2016 #19
Pennsylvania also votes in April, as do CT and MD nt geek tragedy Mar 2016 #20
