Bernie Sanders Threatens to Skip Thursday's Debate Unless Hillary Clinton Agrees To Do More

Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has threatened to skip this Thursday's planned primary debate unless his opponent, Hillary Clinton, agrees to partake in additional debates. According to Sanders' campaign, Clinton is refusing to debate the candidate in New York.

"We are continuing to negotiate with them not just about the debate Thursday night, but about the other debates that we have said need to be agreed to in order to put the whole package of debates together," Tad Devine, a top Sanders campaign official, told The Hill.

"They have not agreed to at least one aspect of it, which is we've asked for a debate in New York, and they do not want to have a debate in New York."

Clinton is urging Sanders to debate her in New Hampshire this week, saying the campaign has met the conditions.

Clinton and Sanders are the only two remaining Democratic candidates after former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley suspended his campaign on Monday evening following the Iowa caucus.

The debate schedule has been a thorn in the Sanders' campaign's side for quite a while. Despite DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schulz's claim that the schedule was meant to maximize exposure to the candidates, ratings have been very low.

-Maybe Bernie shouldn’t have wasted the first debate by taking the email scandal off the table.-

It was smart I think, let the FBI hammer Hillary and be the good guy.

If he isn’t Debating, Bernie is planning to hold a Fundraiser to help out Imprisoned Cop Killers and Drug Pushers.

“Clinton has no excuse not to debate. “

Yes she does, every time she opens her mouth, she looses ground. Her best hope of being president is to go through the entire campaign letting surrogates talk for her. She’s “The Distinguished Gentleman” in a mumu!

Hillary wouldn’t do more for her husband, and Bernie expects something out of her?
HINT: Call Monica.

The Clinton “debates” are totally worthless. Nothing but lies. She can’t “recall” or “remember” a damn thing during her Senate hearings but she’s “the smartest woman on Earth” during these “debates” and knows everything. Somebody is peeing on our legs and telling us it’s raining.

Bernie is dead wrong but he is entertaining.

Hilly has been an annoying turd for 3 decades.

There is a reason Obama and Bernie own her.

SHE SUCKS
