Hillary talks with people. Bernie lectures at them. Loudly.

But he's passionate. Spittle-flecked, but passionate.

And I hope they do debate in Flint. I'd love to see the focus placed on infrastructure if they do. There is a LOT that needs to be done.

All three candidates say they're willing to do more sanctioned debates. If Hillary truly wants more debates to happen, she should call up her former campaign chair and let her know.

It's highly disturbing to me that they think they can get away with recasting Hillary as the one who wanted more debates, and not Bernie. As another poster wrote, shades of George Orwell.

On second thought, it's not funny at all - it's actually a little bone-chilling.

you obviously missed our response, @JohnPodesta. you can find it here: http://bernie.to/reading-comprehension

JANUARY 30, 2016
Twitter Facebook Email Link
DES MOINES, Iowa – Bernie Sanders’ campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, issued the following statement Saturday on negotiations over additional debates:

“After refusing for months to participate in more debates, Secretary Clinton requested that the Democratic National Committee rules be changed and that a new debate take place in New Hampshire next week. We agreed pending an agreement on three future debates in March, April and May. Unfortunately, the Clinton campaign has not accepted debates we proposed on March 3 in Michigan and April 14 in New York. They apparently agreed to May 24 in California. The Clinton campaign, after not accepting Michigan, now says they want it. We are pleased to do it on March 3 before the Michigan primary provided the Clinton campaign will agree to Brooklyn, New York, on April 14. Why won’t they debate in Brooklyn? What’s the matter with Brooklyn?”


That URL is golden.

it's no wonder you're terrified. How pathetic: next you'll be discussing Shillery's proposed increase to the choco-rations.

JURY: Shillary is indeed a Right Wing nickname for Hillary. Perhaps the poster knows this. Perhaps they did not know it but have now been told.

This has got to be the most sickening Democratic campaign I have ever seen.

Are these the kind of people Clinton would have in an administration? YES, You betcha.
