Uh, what is wrong with April 14th, a Thursday night debate?

And the morning debate would be on Good Morning America, which has a huge audience.

The only one that appears to be a remotely serious proposal is the 14th, the initial proposal was absolutely asinine.

Sanders campaign statement:

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

The Sanders campaign comment was made to the initial proposal by Clinton.  As far as the Thursday night debate, we don't really know the details, time, location, etc.  If it was an out of prime time proposal similar to the Monday Night debate was, etc?

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.

A debate when the other person is already scheduled to make an appearance at a public event, television, etc is a bit silly.  If Clinton was holding some event, would be on a television show on a certain date and Sanders offered a debate then instead it would be just as silly.

The only one that seems remotely like a good faith effort is the one on the 14th, but of course without knowing details it is hard to say.  With that being said I would like to know the reasons behind Sanders campaign denying the 14th (if that is indeed true), as well as their proposed times that they have indicated Clinton has said no to.  And of course the original date mentioned by Clinton, if anything shows it wasn't a realistic proposal.

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.

We don't even know the time of the Thursday proposed debate..  The Monday debate was slightly before primetime, and is the same night of the NCAA College basketball Championship, one of which that at the time of the proposal might have included Syracuse university (looking less likely now)

It looks like the April 14th time slot was rejected because Sanders had already booked a highly coveted, yet to be announced space in Manhattan for a rally that evening (possibly Central Park).

If that is the case, certainly makes sense of why he would have an issue with that date.

Debate tobe on CNN & NY1.  

Sanders had previously planned and received a permit for a rally at Washington Square Park on the 14th (which is why he turned that date down)  De Blasio said he would work to get a permit for a Sanders rally for another day.
