If you have a problem with this, take it up with Schultz, Bernie has been and is still asking for more SANCTIONED debates in the most recent case, states that have been under-served by political campaigning this season, that being Illinois, Ohio, California and New York.

Furthermore Bernie has stated he would be willing to debate in New Hampshire if Schultz's DNC SANCTIONS it.

Having said that I believe Schultz will come around and sanction the New Hampshire debate, if Bernie starts dramatically leading Hillary in the Iowa polls or wins that caucus.

For now the race in Iowa is too close to call, so Schultz is just biding her time.

1. Why don't we just sanction Wasserman Schultz to get out of democracy's way?

Or find out who compromised Sanders data last October?

If the candidates all want a debate, she should shut up.

[valerief]

2. I wonder if Bernie is adhering to the DNC's sanctioned debates so they don't

have reason to toss him off the Dem ticket.

[Uncle Joe]

3. I don't believe she would do that if all three candidates participated in an unsanctioned debate but

I do believe Schultz could very likely pull the plug on the last two sanctioned debates because this would help Hillary.

From an OP by cali.

How much better known than Bernie is Hillary? A lot.

<snip>

A new poll conducted by Morning Consult and Vox surveyed registered voters to see how many could correctly identify photos of the 2016 presidential candidates compared to a few very prominent celebrities.

Ninety-seven percent of the 2,028 people polled last week correctly identified Hillary Clinton; 96 percent correctly identified Donald Trump.

<snip>

Fifty-six percent, which is even less than the percentage that recognized Jeb Bush (77 percent), Bernie Sanders (69 percent), and Ted Cruz (61 percent).

Exposure to Bernie and his message is the last thing that Schultz wants, that's why she has so adamantly refused to sanction more debates and scheduled them for such ridiculous times when they would least likely be viewed by the American People.

Schultz is/was hoping that Hillary's name recognition alone would propel her to the nomination.

4. I disagree. Yes she would throw him off ticket. No doubt in my mind.

[Uncle Joe]

5. On what grounds could she do so if Hillary and O'Malley also took part in the debate?

[Paulie]

9. Hillary would have a sick day

Or airplane mechanical troubles preventing her from flying in. Admiral Akbar is right!!!

[Uncle Joe]

10. Bernie would to the debate if Hillary didn't. n/t

[Paulie]

11. Doesn't matter to them. He showed up therefore rule breaking un-democrat

I can hear it now. "He never deserved to be the nominee because he wouldn't even listen to the Party..."

[Uncle Joe]

12. If Schultz did that, the Democratic Party would disintegrate, there is a much greater chance that if

all three candidates were to attend a non-sanctioned debate, Schultz would cancel the two remaining sanctioned debates because she knows Hillary with greater name recognition would benefit and this would curtail more exposure for Bernie and his message to the people.

[Uncle Joe]

13. P.S. This whole thing is a setup to do just that, at the last minute MSNBC comes out to sponsor a

debate in the one state that Bernie is leading the most in, Schultz refuses to sanction it and Hillary; who for months has stated she would only attend debates sanctioned by the DNC while she was greatly leading in the race, "suddenly comes to Jesus."

The hypocrisy is mind boggling.

[Robbins]

6. I do believe these last 2 will happen.

the DNC and Clinton campagin hoped it would be over after Nh or at very least SC.It doesn't seem like it will be.even clinton people are saying this fight could go into april/may.

[Uncle Joe]

7. Have you seen this thread by Segami, Robbins?

Even though the Clinton team has sought to convey that it has built a national operation, the campaign has invested much of its resources in the Feb. 1 caucuses in Iowa, hoping that a victory there could marginalize Mr. Sanders and set Mrs. Clinton on the path to the nomination. As much as 90 percent of the campaign’s resources are now split between Iowa and the Brooklyn headquarters...

I put the odds of Schultz sanctioning the New Hampshire debate at approximately 78.45% at this point in our space time continuum.

[glinda]

14. Someone has a money management problem to go

through that much dough.

[Uncle Joe]

15. I believe so.

Peace to you, glinda.

[Uncle Joe]

8. Does anyone out there believe that Schultz will or would do the right thing or

that she cares what the people think?
