3. Question -- where are the candidates on the TIMING of the debate(s)?

Obviously you seem to know much more about the particulars of this than I do. In the NY Times article on the subject there was no mention of any counteroffer from Hillary on the NY debate

I see nothing wrong in going public with the demand for more debates. As some Hillary supporters on DU have suggested, a frontrunner has little to gain and much to lose, and somehow this would especially be true in NY (though if I had to bet I would bet Bernie does BETTER in NY than PA).

Since the debates are televised nationally, the location of them is much less crucial in my arrogant opinion (IMAO) than the timing. A "Pennsylvania" debate might very well be after the NY primary, which would be a shame. And it seems that the argument about location is probably much more an argument about timing but that's just my guess


I haven't seen any "misinformation" put out by the Bernie campaign on this point, nor any credibly evidenced examples of "lying". I would like to see links to what "lie" was said and link to why it is supposedly a falsehood.

As I am doing on every thread concerning the presidential primaries where I post, I am including a comment that DUers, in my view, should/must devote at least 20% of the time and effort going into the clash in the presidential primary to the Congressional concerns; this is something that I suspect both Hillary and Bernie would agree on. We need a Democratic Senate and to maximally challenge the GOP "gerrymandority" in the House
