Sen. Bernie Sanders has accepted a Fox News invitation for a Democratic debate in California, the Sanders campaign announced on Wednesday.
“Both campaigns have been invited by Fox News to a debate. We have told the network that we would accept the invitation with the understanding that we can reach mutual agreement on the debate moderators, the format and other details,” Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager said in a statement.
Fox News has expressed interest in holding a Democratic debate for months and has been publicly lobbying the Democratic National Committee.
I'm sorry there is NO way that the Sanders' campaign does not see this for what it is, a last ditch effort to destroy Hillary Clinton's chances of earning the nomination.
Fox News has been the 24 hour anti-Hillary channel ever since she launched her campaign.
Obviously if they had both Sanders and Clinton on the same debate stage they would work to sabotage her while lobbing softballs at him.
After all Fox News and the Republicans would LOVE it if Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton out for this nomination.
And the fact that it appears the Sanders' campaign is willing to join forces with Fox News to make that happen is quite revealing.
What else could they possibly talk about in a debate? I sure don't want to listen to another one until after the gop and Democratic conventions.
ReplyDeleteSanders wants to make another single issue stump speech. That's all.
DeleteI'm ashamed that I told myself that I'd vote for Bernie if he were the nominee. Jerk.
ReplyDeleteHillary Clinton has no need, duty or reason to meet Bernie in a debate on FOX! She's already beat him hands down!
ReplyDeleteBernie has lost and Hillary will be named the nominee for the Democratic party.
Bernie - bow out 'gracefully' IF that word is even in your vocabulary! Get rid of the ego! It's grown way too big and is ridiculous to watch!

ReplyDelete"earning the nomination."
Love your choice of words there!
Here's Hillary in her own words:

“You should be willing to debate anytime, anywhere.”
If she's so-o-o fuckin' tough,why not?
4:53 - uneven playing field. She is tough but not stupid.
DeleteBernie lost. His supporters will just have to come to terms with that. They are having a difficult time.

Delete@4:56
Knock off the horseshit.
She talks the big ride and needs to step the fuck up to the plate.
Hillary ran this commercial against Obama in 2008:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yr7odFUARg
She has since been SoS and brags about her experience in dealing with world leaders.
Fox and Bernie should be a cakewalk,no?
I actually think that Hillary would come out relatively unscathed, she has after all essentially won all of the debates so far.
DeleteHowever it is clearly a trap, and she has nothing to gain and everything to lose, so accepting this challenge really only works in favor of Sanders and Fox News.
5:20 My, my, my. You certainly are a child. Bernie lost little one. A tantrum will accomplish nothing.
Delete*
Delete"uneven playing field"
"clearly a trap"
Those are wienie excuses.
If she is such hot shit,why doesn't she just sashay on the stage and pulverize,then "drop the mic"?
She's chicken if she doesn't show up.
If you were her advisor, you'd tell her not to do it. If it were Bernie with the kind of lead she has, he wouldn't do it, either. It's ridiculous on it's face. Sanders needs to win in every remaining primary by tens of points to catch up. It's not going to happen.
DeleteClinton has bigger fish to fry.
Because she is not stupid, that's why not. Why should she provide yet another opportunity for Sanders to get in some points at her expense?
Delete5:20 & 5:41 spoken like a true Bernie or Trump fanatical. Were you the one throwing that chair?

Delete@6:56
One more time.
Not one single chair was thrown at the NV gathering.
Just like that bullshit tweet about the 12yr.old girl who had her sign "torn up".
Didn't happen.
AP got the memo: latest story says chairs were "brandished". Well, one chair. This should be a lesson for everyone to use their common sense when they read something outrageous instead of letting your bias allow you to believe the worst because you want the worst to be true about Sanders and his supporters.
DeleteGolly, asterisk abuser. It's almost like you're unaware that Clinton has shellacked Sanders in myriad debates already. Your lack of realization that they've taken place is pretty much typical of a Berner's failure to be informed.
Delete"Brandishing" a chair is outrageous enough, don't you think?
Delete"“You should be willing to debate anytime, anywhere.”
DeleteIf she's so-o-o fuckin' tough,why not?"
--------------------
Sure. Debate any time, anywhere.
*While it matters.*
A debate at this point is not likely to change enough minds to make a difference in the results, so there is no reason to have one.
After the softball "Blonde Bleeding from Everywhere/Trump interview" with Megyn Kelly, what are the chances Hillary would give them the time of day? And with Sanders? What for? Hillary's got campaigning to do, I'm sure she'll pencil them in after the elections.

I am sick of the butt-hurt whiners on the Bernie side. They are desperately trying to believe that Bernie will somehow perform a miracle and win the nom. Since his chances are slim to none, they have to lay the blame on someone. Of course, it is the "establishment" (Democratic Party.) I have been listening to progressive talk radio today and the Bernie people who call in express their indignation at the situation at the Nevada convention. Except they blame the moderators of the convention for the bad behavior of the Bernie people. "They were frustrated," they say. Oh really? Is this how democracy works? The loudest and the most angry get to call the shots?
ReplyDeleteBernie needs to face reality and tell his supporters to do so as well.

ReplyDeleteIn your dreams, old man. You can't touch this.
Sanders: “The Democratic Party has a choice. It can open its doors and welcome into the party people who are prepared to fight for real economic and social change — people who are willing to take on Wall Street, corporate greed and a fossil fuel industry which is destroying this planet. Or the party can choose to maintain its status quo structure,
ReplyDeleteHOLD THE PRESS! WAIT ONE, WHAT DID YOU SAY BERNIE?
What was your last comment?
Sanders: You mean, "people who are willing to take on Wall Street, corporate greed and a fossil fuel industry which is destroying this planet."?
WTF? BERNIE COME ON MAN!
Bernie did you not take around $400K from your campaign contributions to charter a Boeing 767 to fly to your wife, four kids and four grandchildren to Rome to give a 10 minute speech?
We could be wrong Bernie, doesn't that 767 use fossil fuel that contributes to Climate Change?
Sanders: Are you sure I did that? My memory must be slipping.
That would be his wife's four children and grandchildren. Meanwhile, Bernie's only living offspring was largely ignored by Bernie as he was growing up and Bernie did not pay child support. And it wasn't a "speech." It was an interception of the Pope as he was walking through an archway on his way to another place. Hardly worth the effort or the massive amount of money spent.
DeleteWhat about taking illegal campaign contributions from foreigners?
DeleteBernie has been pretty quite about that one, oh right HE was the one taking the money !!!!
He was on a government mission to try to get the Vatican and the United States on speaking terms, yeah, that's the ticket. But what about Netanyahoo and Israel? They got their hands out, and always welcome some high fives from other nations.
DeleteI can see his life story playing in the background at the Socialist Democratic Party!
Hillary owes it to Bernie to have another debate since he is behind.
ReplyDeleteSnark
Obviously if they had both Sanders and Clinton on the same debate stage they would work to sabotage her while lobbing softballs at him.
ReplyDeleteHillary could handle being the leader of the free world, but she suddenly can't handle a Fox sabotage?
It's not that she can't handle it, as she's ably proven time and again. She has no obligation to provide unearned legitimacy to either Fox or Sanders. One is a fake news channel, the other one has decisively lost the nomination, and the fact that Camp Bernie is willing to work with Fox -- like he's willing to use right-wing talking points against Clinton -- shines a strong light on his lack of character.
DeleteSanders says he does not support fracking but he doesn't mind fracking the Democratic Party
ReplyDeleteAnd, I say he is a 'fraking asshole'!
DeleteFuck Fox News.
ReplyDeletePolitics makes strange bed-fellows, doesn't it, Senator Sanders?
What an unprincipled whore he's turned out to be. So disappointing.
DeleteI never thought Faux news was real. It was designed to wear into your consciousness and make you believe what's not real. Megyn Kelly is being heralded as a hard questioning reporter. She talks a good talk with that sexy little outfit she wore on Steven Colbert, and in the magazine More but I believe that the synapses aren't connecting in there. That ship sailed when she said "we all know santa is white" Donald is such an ass in that interview. Like he wants to slap the woman but we know the Republican establishment is training his ass. They hate women just as much as he and that is why they have been building this machine carefully to bring down Hillary for over thirty years. Hopefully they don't succeed.
ReplyDeleteThat interview last night made me sick. I had admired Kelly for standing her ground before and also for having Michelle Fields, the former Breitbart reporter who Lewandowski grabbed, on to tell her story and Kelly stood by her fellow journalist. But last night was a gift to Trump. He was horrible in terms of not answering specifically enough and he also did his usual of turning into the questioner a couple times, including when he smirked off having called her a bimbo and suggested she'd been called much worse and he asked her to agree. What I hated most was how she'd break into a smile and the camera would stay on her and she actually came across as somewhat flirtatious. And she came across as saying that nothing he'd done was so big a deal and she seemed charmed by him. Seriously, if he and she were not married to others, I think the media all would have wondered if they'd hooked up afterward.
DeleteBut last night was a gift to Trump
DeleteYes, he is a gift to himself. How do you think he will win?
He negotiates and can turn on a dime when it is a good thing.
Now Hillary will look like a fool to insinuate he could be sexist or doesn't like women.
The past is over for Trump.
Hillary is the past. She is worse than the hubby she enables. No one wants that in the White House again. Not even on a short leash.
Thx to everyone that is taking care of Bern for Trump, the charmer.
Anyone who's just now disappointed with Kelly has been oblivious to her body of "work." She is as she has always been.
DeleteWe have told the network that we would accept the invitation with the understanding that we can reach mutual agreement on the debate moderators, the format and other details,” Jeff Weaver

DeleteI’ve been an unapologetic shill for Bernie Sanders, writing articles, sending small donations and attending rallies, but after the recent debacle in my home state of Nevada, coupled with undeniable delegate math, it has became clear to me that Bernie cannot win the nomination. It’s sad for his supporters, like me. But what is more troubling is the heated, false and sometimes vile rage coming out of some Bernie supporters, as they grow ever more frustrated at the loss. I’ve worked hard in my own life to embrace progressive values, and the rhetoric coming from some parts of my own community reminds me of the Tea Party.
ReplyDeleteBernie should give a rousing speech at the convention and hammer hard at the party platform. He’s changed the conversation for a decade or more, but there is a fine line between supporting a candidate and adopting fact-denying, slanderous behavior that we rightfully condemn when it’s spewed from the right.
Despite my warm, abiding love for Bernie, I can count. Hillary won Nevada, and she won the state convention. She has won more states and votes than my guy. It’s sad, but I’m not a poor loser. Nevada Bernie supporters are furious they weren’t able to wrest more delegates from a state that Sanders lost.

ReplyDeleteBit player Sanders poised to become Senate force
But Democrats warn he could blow his newfound clout if he doesn't move to unite the party soon.
By BURGESS EVERETT
05/19/16 05:24
Long a lonely voice of the left in the Senate, Bernie Sanders is poised to return to his day job as a potential kingmaker after a presidential campaign that made him a household name and hero of the progressive movement.
But the Vermont senator risks frittering away that newfound clout, Democratic senators said Wednesday, if he doesn’t move soon to unite the party and train his fire on Donald Trump.
... Is he going to support her and campaign for her, or is he going to help elect Donald Trump?
... That’s starting to grate on senators. Democrats say they want to give Sanders a hearty welcome when he returns as a high-profile leader of the party’s progressive arm, but that it will be difficult the way the campaign is unfolding.
... But senators are worried that the hour is growing late for the Sanders unity tour to begin....

What is Sanders trying to prove hurting Clinton on purpose in the last primary with no chance of winning the nomination.
ReplyDeleteSo what. All he is doing from now till the end of the primary season is helping Trump make Clinton look bad.
MSNBC
According to the Times’ piece, for example, Team Sanders believes it may yet win the California primary, where polls show him trailing, which might have “a psychological impact” on Democrats. OK, but then what? If the idea is that Democratic insiders will ignore the will of the voters and the delegate count because of one primary result, awarding Sanders the nomination despite his second-place finish, there’s no reason to believe such a scenario is plausible.
The same article said Team Sanders is willing to hurt Clinton, on purpose, even as the general-election phase gets underway. OK, but then what? There’s still no reason to believe this will prompt party officials to override the primary and caucus results.
"California...where polls show him trailing"
DeleteThe last published poll out of CA was April 30. Based on how actively Sanders is campaigning in CA - 2 and 3 rallies a day, I think his internal polling shows he can win.
What will prompt the supers to vote for Bernie is the state poll after state poll coming out that shows he beats Trump by significantly wider margin than Clinton and sometimes beats him in states - GA, AZ - where Trump beats Clinton.
Do you really think Sanders would be campaigning any differently whether or not they "can win?"
DeleteEverything you've written is pure speculation. He's trying to keep his campaign going. As long as he has money, he will be going hard in California. If his internal polling showed he could win, they would have leaked the results.
These are just the figurative death throes of a dying campaign.
