..And it begins; right on cue.
The DNC and CNN collaborate to provide Joe Biden with his preferred comfort format for the next debate on March 15th between Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden. The Club knows Biden does best in debate formats when sitting down at a desk; just like the 2012 debate between Biden and Paul Ryan.
CNN is hosting the debate, and CNN is the most friendly control operation for the needs of the Club. So what happens CNN and The Club agree to a small venue town hall format where Joe Biden will be sitting down at a desk to debate Bernie Sanders.
It is all predictable in the extreme:
(Politico) Bernie Sanders wants to stand up at the next debate and his campaign is accusing Joe Biden of wanting to sit down.
After a private call Friday with CNN, which is moderating the March 15 debate with the Democratic National Committee, Sanders team balked at a new proposed format for debate, saying it gives his opponent Biden too much of a break in their first one-on-one face-off. Bidens camp denied that it was pressing for a sit-down debate.
(snip) -- The audience members who ask questions will all be plants by the Club and CNN; and the Biden campaign will be provided all of the topics and questions well in advance to assist their rehearsal efforts just like they did for Hillary in 2016.
Wash-Rinse-Repeat.

They probably want the desk to look like the one in the Oval Office so he looks Presidential as he drools on the blotter.
That's what any sane person would do. Stand up and directly address the audience while giving their answers. Makes the other guy look weak.
But then, sanders is a bolshevik. The reason you become a commie is because you're too lazy to work for anything. bernie is not a fighter. He's a big talker who thinks he's entitled to things without giving any effort. He will just quietly acquiesce, lose the primary, and collect his new beach house consolation prize, which is really all he was after anyway.
CNN will have a special chair for Joe
