2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Once Again, Hillary Cannot Remain True To Her Word... Declines PROMISED Debate With Bernie Sanders [View all]
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."

Maybe if a a network offers Bernie a Town Hall... she'll come running back to accept that .... She is afraid to go toe to toe with Bernie one more time because...well there may be some surprises in the interim.... See NY Times article last week... hint "Embarrassing"

You can't believe a Sanders either, apparently. Bernie's a liar too, you know.
