Once Again, Hillary Cannot Remain True To Her Word... Declines PROMISED Debate With Bernie Sanders
in California. Amazingly, some still cannot understand why people cannot bring themselves to trust her....
Remember when Hillary had promised a 4th Presidential Debate with her opponent Bernie Sanders back when she wanted a debate in New Hampshire? WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton on Monday declined an invitation from Fox News to participate in a debate with rival Bernie Sanders in California before that state's June 7 primary. Clinton's decision was quickly criticized by Sanders. (And deservedly so....) "I am disappointed but not surprised by Secretary Clinton's unwillingness to debate before the largest and most important primary in the presidential nominating process," he said in a statement. "Democracy, and respect for the voters of California, would suggest that there should be a vigorous debate in which the voters may determine whose ideas they support," he said. "I hope Secretary Clinton reconsiders her unfortunate decision to back away from her commitment to debate."
Bill Sammon, Fox News vice president and Washington managing editor, said the decision was unfortunate. "Naturally, Fox News is disappointed that Secretary Clinton has declined our debate invitation," he said, "especially given that the race is still contested and she had previously agreed to a final debate before the California primary." http://bigstory.ap.org/article/de928d9ee52442f39d2904a581feb0bb/clinton-campaign-declines-invitation-california-debate ![]()

Between her legal problems and possibly giving them more ammunition against her, and not having any viable alternatives to those issues he's still fighting for on behalf of millions, she's running scared. The less exposure for her right now, the better.

Full video: "In a Wednesday afternoon statement, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said the Vermont senator has accepted an invitation from Fox News to debate "with the understanding that we can reach mutual agreement on the debate moderators, the format and other details.” Weaver said both campaigns in January agreed to hold a debate in May in California, adding that the Clinton campaign has “balked at keeping that pledge.” “More than half way through the month of May, we hope Secretary Clinton will soon make good on her campaign’s commitment and agree to a time and pace for a debate,” Weaver said in the statement. “There are issues of enormous importance facing the people of California and our nation and the people of our largest state deserve to hear the Democratic candidates [sic] opinions." http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/280405-sanders-pushes-clinton-for-debate-in-california (bbm) |

16. no she won't. No need to. More debates are a waste of time. I have no doubt if Sanders asked
fox they would be very happy to provide a town hall for him.
Bernie declined to speak before AIPAC in person because he had other things to do that he felt had a higher priority, and instead, provided a transcript of his thoughts. Californians know where the candidates stand on the issues, and realize more debates at this stage are a waste of time. Of course Fox wants it because it allows them an opportunity to create a "food fight between the candidates", as they did with the republican debates. |

It's rough living in a state with no television, no radio, no press, and no internet access. If we don't have this crucial 10th Democratic debate how will we ever be able to decide which candidate we support? I mean, Sanders has already had his 27 rallies in CA with 27,000 people each, so nearly everyone in CA has seen him speak in person, but who is this Hillary Clinton person? How on earth are we supposed to know who she is and what she stands for unless she agrees to a debate moderated by Fox News?

53. When did she promise to do whatever Bernie says?
If you're going to have a debate, the way you do it is to get the two sides together and negotiate a time and place to have it. Bernie sets up his own, then yells when she decides not to attend. It's the same thing that happened in New York, where Bernie went ahead and jumped the gun by demanding to set the rules. I don't blame her, or anyone else, for not acquiescing to hostage negotiation tactics.

55. She promised prior to the NH debate. She wanted the NH debate, to get it she promised to subsequent
debates in April, May and June. The April debate was in MI. The May debate did not have a place because the parties disagreed. Hillary eventually agreed to Bernie's proposed location: NY. At the time of that the agreement was made, prior to the NH debate, she agreed, promised, to a CA debate in June.

57. Again; when did she promise to let Bernie set the terms?
Look, she isn't going to agree to any debate. At this point, there's no sense in giving Bernie free air time to continue attacking her instead of Trump.
But the talking points out of Bernieland today are ridiculous. There's an air of privilege going around, thinking that it's perfectly normal that they got to make all the demands of the when, where, and network. That's not this works. You get to complain after you made a good faith effort, not before. |

58. Prior to the NH debate she promised to a CA debate to take place in May.
She agreed to it then. The only terms not agreed to with respect to this date is the exact time and the host.
She agreed to debate Bernie in California prior to June 7. |

60. Has Bernie reached out in good faith to negotiate a time? Or did he set up his own and whine?

61. Bernie didn't propose a time, it was proposed by Fox News.
He accepted on the grounds that Hillary accepted, which she declined. She has advised she will not honor the debate promise under any schedule. As I said, her word is as good as shit.

64. Good to see you shift your argument.
If she doesn't like the time and place, she needs to counter offer, as she did prior to NY debate.

67. There was no shift. This particular debate was never agreed to.
It's a lie to say that rejecting this particular debate is somehow going back on anything.
No, there isn't going to be a debate, since there's no reason to give Bernie free air time to attack her instead of Trump, but the point is that rejecting a specific debate that was never agreed to is not the same as rejecting a debate at all. Stop lying and confusing the two. |

70. LOL. This entire thread is about Hillary refusing the May California debate.
And you concede that in you last paragraph.
That is the renege. YOu should apologize to me for lying. She agreed to to a May debate in CA back in February, now she refuses. She is not keeping her word. You are the one trying to sow confusions. Although it is clear that is is just your own confusion. |

77. To A debate. She never agreed to this particular one, and you know it.
There won't be one for obvious reasons, but if Bernie is going to get this upset, he should at least be mad for the right reasons. Hillary never said she would let Bernie pick the time, place, and network of his liking. It's the same kind of PR stunt he pulled in NY.

78. She has refused A debate. WHy are you playing dumb?
She reneged on ANY debate in CA. Not just his one.
Your double thinking is incredible. You say her denial was to this debate. You admit she agreed to a CA debate (after much pushing) and you say, in the same fucking post that their won't be one. The simple fact is, which you have conceded: Hillary agreed in Feb to a CA debate. Now she refuses to debate in Feb. She reneged. |

59. She promised when he gave her the NH debate she begged for.
What part of that are you missing? She also agreed to June, giving her word. But, we know the word of a Clinton is as good as shit once it leaves their curled lips.

62. The terms were only to have one. She never ceded control of time, place, network.
This is the same thing Bernie did in NY. He set up his own debate schedule, then yelled when she wouldn't do it exactly the way he wanted. These things are supposed to be negotiated between the camps. That's what the DNC would be for.... if Bernie hadn't burned his bridge with them.
You can complain when Bernie makes a good faith negotiation. |

65. Then let her suggest one
Instead, she has said she will not debate under any circumstances, whether she picks the situation or not. She lied, just as she has her entire career and just as her husband has. But hey, some people eat that shit up with a spoon and ask for seconds.

68. If you want to talk about lying, how about Bernie telling people he's going to win?
You're right, there won't be a debate, and that's entirely Bernie's doing. Listening to him these last few weeks, he's attacking her and her character far more than her does Trump. Why should she, on the verge of winning, let Bernie keep treating her as being worse than Trump? That would be stupid, and you know it.
If Bernie had shifted his focus to talking about his issues, and attacking Trump, we'd be hearing a different story right now. |

If it was the first time she lied, maybe I'd get around it, but she consistently lies and this is just more proof you can't believe a Clinton.

54. The more exposure she gets, the lower her approval ratings go.
She probably should just use surrogates for everything, all bowling alley and coffee shop rally's, teeVee appearances, etc, and keep a very low profile. Just stay out of the picture and let the cooperative media sell her candidacy to the public.

Don't waste time debating Bernie. He's done.
She should spend every waking moment focusing on Trump. At this point, that's all that matters. Bern will get his moment at the convention. |

Good for her. Just walk away. Much more to accomplish than play Sanders adn fox's stupid ass game.
