If Bernie refuses to debate Trump, the Hillaryites will say he's afraid to debate Trump!

And that Hillary, unlike Bernie, is the tough, strong candidate who is ready and able to take on Trump in a debate anytime and anywhere.

And that Bernie is just plain chicken and can't take on Trump like the powerful Hillary Clinton.

And if Bernie agrees to accept Trump's challenge to a debate the Hillaryites will display fake outrage and claim that like Trump, Bernie is also a sexist who wants to keep Hillary out of debates!!!! It's for men only!

Those will be her campaign's talking points on the Trump/Bernie debate issue.

Cheap shots, but what do you expect from her?

Oh poor, poor Hillary. She just doesn't get any respect and voters don't trust her .... simply because she's a woman. That damn bigot Bernie and his rooming band of racist, sexist, hippie, communist thugs who are terrorizing Clinton supporters.

Of course, Hillary's surrogates and apologists hope the everyone forgets that it was Hillary who backed out of her commitment to debate Bernie in California.

Bernie could and would destroy Trump and not even have to mention Hillary once.

How do you think that was mocking and what do you think Hillary's talking points will be if Sanders refuses to debate Trump?

I'm listening. Yours might be more realistic. I don't know. Let's see them.

OK?

Or claim to know what we'll "Say" if some hypothetical event occurs?

Do you work for Miss Cleo at the Psychic Readers Network?

Wait, you can't be psychic. You've been predicting a Bernie victory for months, and that's not happening.

to attack Bernie and his supporters.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out by now what Hillary's surrogates will say to attack and marginalize Bernie and his supporters.

But those constant personal attacks on Bernie haven't worked out so well, have they?

How's your endless stream of attack OPs working out for you?

The ironic thing is that you write an OP with the specific intent to attack Hillary supporters, and when challenged, you whine about being attacked.

Your smear campaign has failed.

The only question is how much he can hurt Hillary in the general election before he officially drops out.

I don't think she'll make it that far.

Getting the nomination that is.

Are you middle of the bird?

And don't try that old, tired and discredited "right-wing" baiting or "red-baiting" on Democratic Underground.

It won't work.

Stop that!

Stick to the issues.

OK?
