Yeah about that debate Bernie Sanders is asking for....Hillary's just not into it.

Nice try Sanders.
Courtesy of The Hill: 

Allies of Hillary Clinton say the Democratic front-runner should feel no pressure to appear in another debate against Bernie Sanders. 

Sanders accepted an invitation by Fox News earlier this week to take part in an upcoming debate ahead of the California primary. But Clinton, who is 90 delegates away from clinching the Democratic nomination, hasn’t agreed to participate. 

Nor should she, allies say. 

“There’s nothing to debate,” said one longtime ally and confidante. “There’s nothing new. You can run these debates on loop. The attacks are all the same. And we cannot tolerate his tired, old attacks that continue to disunite the party at a time when it’s supposed to be united.”

Yep, that about sums it up.

At this point there is simply nothing left to debate, and agreeing to do so on Fox News is just asking Hillary to knowingly walk into an ambush with no political upside.

Besides she has more important things on her plate.

This is where we all need to focus our attention.

Wow, what a truly unfortunate thing to have to say.

      There was an extremely revealing segment on Rachel Maddow Friday Night.

      Even though Bernie took in more $$$ in April, he has $5 million cash on hand while Hillary has over $30 million. Bernie's people are all paid more than Hillary's as a whole even though she has far more people working for her. That speaks volumes considering Bernie is not helping ANY down ballot democratic candidates get elected.

      "As Maddow pointed out, despite raising $27 million in April, Sen. Sanders only has $5.8 million in cash on hand to fund a month’s worth of primaries including the most expensive primary in the country. In contrast, Hillary Clinton raised $2 million less than Sen. Sanders, but she has over $30 million in cash on hand."

    Hillary Clinton went straight for the heart of the myth of Donald Trump by calling the presumptive Republican nominee "pretend successful" while on NBC's Meet The Press.

    Hillary Clinton took a dig at Donald Trump that is certain to drive him up the wall and converted it into a legitimate question about why he won’t release his tax returns. Clinton is defining the reason why Trump won’t release his tax returns, and Trump can do nothing about it, but release the returns.

    Trump Said America ‘Never’ Wins, But Obama Just Took Out A Major Terrorist

    ...The Pentagon press secretary also explained that Mansur has been “actively involved with planning attacks against facilities in Kabul and across Afghanistan, presenting a threat to Afghan civilians and security forces, our personnel, and Coalition partners.”

    President Obama authorized the drone strike that appears to have killed the Taliban leader while en route to Vietnam on Air Force One.

    You may remember that President Obama’s epic correspondent’s dinner roast of Donald Trump came at the same time the Bin Laden raid was about to be executed. Perhaps it’s time to start panicking if you’re in Al Qaeda or the Taliban – or ISIS – when Trump’s buffoonery is in the news.

      There is no doubt that President Obama outwits The Donald every step of the way.

      Donald Trump proves to us time and time again how stupid he truly is! He would make a horrid POTUS!

      I want to thank President Obama for continuing to do such an outstanding job as POTUS. He has the solid respect of other countries throughout the world where Donald Trump ALREADY does not!

      You have to give Dumb Donald a little leeway, he's s-l-o-w and low energy.

    "...have killed the Taliban leader while en route to Vietnam on Air Force One..."
    Sorry, forgive me for nitpicking, but this sentence makes it sound like the Taliban leader was travelling on Air Force One.

    That photo of Trump with his creepy lips extended in a kiss makes me wish to hell someone would knock his block off. He is the most unattractive boy/man we have on the planet! JHC!!!

    Bury him America in this upcoming election so that we never see or hear from again. He's scum upon our country!

    " When it's all said and done, it's all said and done " is an old lituanian proverb. The lady's got some chutzpah! When Bernie says jump, she points and smiles politely.
