Clinton and Sanders agree to CNN Brooklyn debate on April 14

Sanders campaign statement:

The Thursday evening debate time makes all the sense in the world.

April 14 and 15 both seem incredibly reasonable, and I have to laugh at the GOP Gala being covered in prime time.

Tax day is the 18th this year, and Sanders has specifically agreed to a debate on Good Morning America in the past. Stop making excuses for him.

One was on Monday, too long before NY and the April 26th states. One was in the morning! I assume something else was completely wrong with the 3rd time slot. I believe Bernie had offered some reasonable times that Hillary rejected.

So, you are assuming? Should we assume that your support of Sanders is based on similarly shaky reasoning?

[Ebsy]

Hillary and the dnc establishment are doing the debates at times where Hillary can be covered easily (mornings, weekends, around sports) to deny fair play for Bernie to have his points heard (notice how few prime time Monday-Thursday debates the Dems have had this cycle) the GOP have had most of their debates in prime time.

Two of the proposed debates were primetime, Monday or Thursday. Then people complained that there was going to be a football game like an hour after the debate.

My point still stands though.

Well, since the primary evidence you used to support your claim is false, I don't see how your point stands.

The networks scheduled the debates, and they are loathe to give up spots in prime time. If you'll note, the two Republican debates on network television have been on Saturdays as well.

[Ebsy]

And people think it's the GOP that will rip apart at the seams. 

The Democratic party isn't ripping apart at the seams. The party has already picked Clinton as the nominee; all of this nonsense is just the thrashing of a soon to be deceased Sanders campaign.

Why is Senator Sanders burying this debate on Sunday evening, when no one will watch it? Could it be that he didn't actually want to debate?

Think about things before you run your mouth.  Sunday is the biggest night on TV.

That's not what people were saying about the previous Sunday night debate when DWS and the DNC were putting their fingers on the scales.

Bernie accepted an NBC News invitation for an April 10th debate. The 11th-13th are fine with him too.

Hillary can accept one of those 4 days, or show why she has earned her 67% not honest and trustworthy rating.

Clinton's going to be in Virginia fundraising on the 10th per her schedule, so it's probably not going to be then.

[Ebsy]

Good, that's settled, at least for the two candidates. Of course, those calling Sanders a coward and a fraud will now have to resort to calling him weak and easily manipulated.

I'm very pleased by the outcome.
