If Hillary cannot handle debating Bernie in NY than how is she going to handle debating Trump?

[jillan]

Bernie attacks her on her policies, wall street ties, decisions made as SoS and previous votes. That is IT!
ALL ARE based on fact, all are VERIFIABLE.

Trump will attack her on everything from the 1980's until today, including Bill's sex life, her emails, how he bought her, etc etc etc.

So when I hear that Bernie needs to change his tone before she will debate him in NY, all I can do is shake my head and question her leadership skills.

1. Did you forget? ...

... Hillary has already debated Bernie several times.

And, did so very well.

[jillan]

3. Agreed - so what exactly is her problem debating him in NY when they both agreed to more debates?

[NWCorona]

5. There's two more official debates.

Why is Hillary placing qualifiers?

[brooklynite]

11. Why is Bernie choosing specifics?

How about a debate in Philadelphia?

How about Annapolis?

[NWCorona]

14. That's his right

And it's Hillary's right to make a counter proposal. It just happens that the one her team went with was spectacularly bad and makes her look weak.

[Zira]

22. She agreed to the debate in NY. Now she is reneging.

She shouldn't have agreed if she didn't plan on going through with it.

[timmymoff]

25. Yet half as many as she did with candidate obama

[casperthegm]

2. Great question

You think Trump would "change his tone" for Hillary?

[jillan]

4. Oh Trump will change his tone for her but it won't be in the way she wishes.

[giftedgirl77]

6. Maybe she's just tired of hearing the same old shit from him

over & over again? This shit is really played out. There is no reason for our election season to be this damn long.

[jillan]

9. Or maybe she doesn't want the people of NY to hear the same old shit from her?

Works both ways.

[giftedgirl77]

17. Yeah both of them are equally annoying.

But let's not pretend like both of them don't sound like broken ass records. STOU from any of the candidates from either party would suck.

[scscholar]

28. This

Rehashing the same discussions over and over again just turns people off.

[geek tragedy]

7. she can handle it, the question is whether it's in her interest to engage

not every decision is based on questions of toughness and courage.

I would bet she will not have 6+ debates with Trump like she did with Sanders. And she'll be hopeful that he brings his ugly, misogynist tone to the debate stage for all voting women to see.

Do you think the Univision debate helped Bernie in Florida?

[TDale313]

26. She already agreed.

Maybe not on the where but to three more debates- one a month- after Bernie agreed to her request for a debate before NH.

It doesn't matter if it's "in her interest"- in fact her weasling out now would reinforce a lot of the worst impressions-accurate or not- that people have about her.

8. Four things:

1. If you don't like Hillary's positions on any issue, just wait twenty minutes.
2. It isn't negative to question her record.
3. Hillary would cream Trump in a debate. (Wow. I actually like her a little when I think of Trump. I can't believe it.)
4. Bernie Would cream Trump in a debate.

[cosmicone]

10. Debating Bernie is a waste of time. n/t

[NWCorona]

12. And time isn't on Hillary's side

[Cobalt Violet]

13. she's a weak candidate for the general that we've had in long time.

[asuhornets]

15. You are giving Trump too much credit....n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

16. She won't debate him unless he swears not to say anything negative about her.

She may, however, put aside the demand that he bow and kiss her hand.

[ViseGrip]

18. I don't hear Trump complain like her. Candidates who don't want to debate

she get out.

[Trenzalore]

21. Trump just doesn't show up and holds fake fundraisers for Veterans nt.

[thesquanderer]

19. It's easier to debate a liar than someone who tells the truth. (n/t)

[CorporatistNation]

24. Hence Hillary's Reluctance to Stand And Face The Ultimate Truth Teller Mr Authenticity Himself...

Senator Bernie Sanders! As much ammo as there is and it is ENTIRELY OF HILLARY'S OWN MAKING... There is much more on the horizon... perhaps the FBI will request the indictment and then Hillary WILL IN FACT BE HISTORY!

[DanTex]

20. Meh. The debate back-and-forth happens every campaign.

The person behind wants more debates, the person ahead wants less.

She's done great in the debates so far, it's not that she can't "handle" it, it's that her campaign doesn't see an advantage to it.

[Trenzalore]

23. I hope this is settled quickly

The 3 Bernie Supporters that post 50 times a day are going to pollute my news feed with this. I guess if it wasn't this it would be something else. I like them better when they were taking pictures of their food.
