Martin O'Malley is the only candidate who has accepted the invitation so far to the event scheduled to take place on Feb. 4, five days before the New Hampshire primary.

 

Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton's communications director, signaled that Clinton is open to participating if other candidates agree and the DNC sanctions the debate. She didn't address whether Clinton would still appear if the DNC doesn't sanction the event.

 

"Hillary Clinton would be happy to participate in a debate in New Hampshire if the other candidates agree, which would allow the DNC to sanction the debate," Palmieri said in a statement. 

 

Bernie Sanders, who has been critical of the party's debate schedule, has not said whether he'd participate. If he does agree to make the debate, it wouldn't be the first tangle between the candidate and the party. His campaign accused the DNC of actively aiding Clinton last year when it briefly restricted its access to party voter data after a security breach, and the lawsuit it filed against the party claiming damages is still active.

1. I thought Bernie WANTED DEBATES!

Now, the buzzard will hold up the big Union Debate just so the other two can't participate.

DNC will sanction it only if all three will attend.
WTF is his problem.
What an -------!

Someone has a control problem.
Just what we need as a President.
Putin 2.
Wtf?
Now he doesn't want another debate?

2. BS is ahead in the poll in NH

And if it goes forward I foresee a bump for HRC!

4. He thinks he's ahead.

30% Bernie's not winning anything.

Zip.

7. I still give him

VT and NH at the absolute minimum. I could easily dredge up two more (probably MA and RI).

And let's not fool ourselves, IA is coming down to turnout and energy. Mrs. Clinton could lose by a bit, or win by a bit. The difference is, in our case IA isn't going to set the stage on everything after NH. With Bernie, it will.

3. Some are never happy.

5. Let's see.. Hillary's won Every debate and Town Hall so far.. Hmmmm.

Thank you, mister!

6. Excellent move, Hillary!

Let Bernie make the first move and then graciously accept the invitation since both others have agreed to do so (and as long as the DNC doesn't object, which they probably won't).

Of course, Bernistas will still say it's incredibly unfair of Clinton to do this to poor Bernie, but I can't fix stupid.

8. Wait a minute -Now Sanders won't debate and Trump won't debate?

Even though everyone else will? Real men of the people, there. I may just die laughing
