Will Hillary refuse to debate Donald Trump if she's in the GE?

[DFab420]

If she can't talk to Bernie Sanders cause of his "tone"

What the hell is she going to do when faced with an insane angry shaved baboon?

[lewebley3]

1. Hillary can take care of herself: Trump is not going scare her: Trump's a bully

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

2. Then why is she terrified to debate Bernie because of his "tone" nt

[lewebley3]

10. Hillary is done enough debating: they are boring and give the same info

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

11. She already agreed to a debate in April and in May... so I can't care less if she is tired of it. nt

[lewebley3]

13. I know she has agreed: and no one will be watching

[Tarc]

3. We've already had like 8 debates

[DFab420]

5. SO? We are electing the leader of the free world. 8 debates seems like the minimum amount

to even begin having honest policy discussions

[Dr Hobbitstein]

17. No, we're electing a candidate for "leader of the free world".

And between two candidates who are quite similar (all hyperbole and rhetoric set aside), 8 debates is a lot.

6. There's two more official debates.

Nice try

[Tarc]

8. TBD, "to be determined", not "must be determined"

After 6 months or so, I'd say most people have made up their minds, all another debate does at this point is provide free airtime for the cash-strapped Sanders campaign.

[NWCorona]

12. Actually it it means "to be determined " in April and May

It doesn't mean "If needed"

[Tarc]

21. Actually it means "don't call us, we'll call you"

“Well look it’s still only March, so there’s plenty of time to consider a potential debate in April, and if we have one, where the site for it would be," Fallon said. "The Sanders campaign sent us a letter over the weekend which I considered to have been a stunt."

Personally, I'd rather she spend her time out on the campaign trail and raising funds to combat Trump in the fall.

[NWCorona]

24. How is calling for a debate that's listed on the debate schedule a stunt?

More spin from the Clinton team.

[Tarc]

25. I don't care

[NWCorona]

26. Well I respect your honesty

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

4. Only if he promises not to say anything mean to her.

[Blue_Tires]

7. Nope, Donald will back out of those debates himself...

[bettyellen]

18. I was thinking the same thing. He would be a fool to go up against her.

[Cali_Democrat]

9. We've had enough debates. nt

[NWCorona]

14. To bad that debate schedule says otherwise.

[phleshdef]

15. No. We have not. Stop defending cowardice.

[Agschmid]

22. Really?

...

[phleshdef]

23. Had I been speaking instead of typing, my response to you would be...

Yes really, I did not stutter.

[brooklynite]

16. She's already debated a jerk: see Rick Lazio...

[procon]

19. Like it or not, she's in the lead, yeah?

If she's running ahead of the competition there's no benefit to debating Sanders, and that would hold true even if he was in the lead. Clearly, at this point she doesn't see him as any real threat. Sanders has more to gain with another debate so of course he wants that to happen, but unless Clinton sees the numbers change, debating him isn't going to happen.

[DFab420]

20. She already agreed to them though....so why not in her home turf?

[Jackie Wilson Said]

27. Why would she, she is both vastly more knowledgeable than that idiot and a far far

better debater.

[jeff47]

28. I prefer rancid talking yam

But yes, it is so odd that such a "fighter" can't handle a debate without tone police.

[dana_b]

29. But Hillary did say Anytime, anywhere:

So she must have meant it, right??

[amborin]

30. Good one! She's losing & they're desperate

[Vinca]

31. Her Highness will do whatever she deigns to do.
