So you think Trump should debate the person under an FBI investigation? pinebox May 2016 #23

Aren't you the person who keeps pushing third parties? barrow-wight May 2016 #24

Can you show me where I have pushed a third party? pinebox May 2016 #29

You've been tacitly pushing it constantly. barrow-wight May 2016 #68

I thought you call that "vetting" - something HRC DUers are so in favor of... JudyM May 2016 #76

Bernie will do anything to get free air time. His coffers are low. riversedge May 2016 #27

Yep. He should have blown off Puerto Rico for a few $100K a plate fundraisers. TheBlackAdder May 2016 #57

This needs to happen. This just plain needs to happen, this week. Alex4Martinez May 2016 #28

Yup it does! pinebox May 2016 #34

The desperation of the Sanders campaign is in full bloom tonyt53 May 2016 #30

Desperation? Funny....remind us again who's under an FBI investigation pinebox May 2016 #32

Yep, it always go es back to that for Sanders and his supporters. You have nothing left. It is over tonyt53 May 2016 #51

We don't? Funny because it looks like this is happening! pinebox May 2016 #115

If Sanders debate Trump that would be so disrespectful...nt asuhornets May 2016 #31

She said no after saying yes pinebox May 2016 #33

Sanders is hurting his brand big time...nt asuhornets May 2016 #35

Oh? So the guy who had 1% name recognition who now has almost half the vote pinebox May 2016 #37

He's hurting his brand because many thought he was a nice guy, including myself asuhornets May 2016 #39

Again, his "brand" has exploded pinebox May 2016 #41

Bernie Sanders stated he would not go negative - but he did go negative-because he had to--I get it asuhornets May 2016 #79

Hillary said she ducked sniper fire. Your point? pinebox May 2016 #82

Hillary does not need to engage Sanders anymore--not on that level anyway...nt asuhornets May 2016 #85

Hillary is running for POTUS and like any other candidate needs to be held accountable pinebox May 2016 #89

Trust me-Hillary has been held accountable for over 25 years for things she did not even do.. asuhornets May 2016 #93

Sure she has but there are also things she has done. FBI investigations anyone? pinebox May 2016 #97

FBLie Investigation...see below asuhornets May 2016 #98

Ya you thought the FBI investigation was the same as Judicial Watch lol pinebox May 2016 #99

Currently, Hillary Clinton is on track to winning the Democratic nomination. asuhornets May 2016 #100

And probably losing a general :( pinebox May 2016 #102

I can see Clinton supporters would have a hey day with that one! floppyboo May 2016 #38

Oh they'd flip the hell out lol pinebox May 2016 #42

Go Bernie? Yep he's going somewhere but it won't be the White House.. asuhornets May 2016 #80

Ya, and? There's a bit more to this than that! floppyboo May 2016 #83

To who? NorthCarolina May 2016 #49

Democratic voters..but he won't do it anyway...nt asuhornets May 2016 #50

*horrors* daring to disrespect Her Inevitableness! JudyM May 2016 #77

Lol, Sanders supporters are like kids at the fold-out table at Thanksgiving Tarc May 2016 #44

Sure and Hillary supporters are obviously Republicans pinebox May 2016 #73

Now why would Trump debate the loser? Demsrule86 May 2016 #45

So, you admit e is always saying the same thing...then, what's the point? He's had a chance to lunamagica May 2016 #74

His message resonates pinebox May 2016 #86

I realize that, but everything has been said over, and over again. lunamagica May 2016 #87

I disagree pinebox May 2016 #88

I worry about wasting time on a primary debate while Trump is on full GE mode. Time is precious lunamagica May 2016 #92

We're still in primary mode pinebox May 2016 #95

Trump is not. And yes, we have something to lose...time. lunamagica May 2016 #103
