What an ass.  So give Trump a platform to attack the democratic party over and over again?  If Trump is smart he'll just attack Hillary the whole entire time and it will just be Bernie and Trump talking about how much they hate Hillary.  Unless Bernie seriously thinks he can out-debate Trump and deal him a crippling blow, this is just a big win for Trump.  Way to go Bernie.

All Sanders did was show he's the only candidate left not dodging a debate. Both Trump and Hillary running away from him now. He'll still lose though.

Hillary and Trump both won or tied all (or all but the CNN one with Carly in Trump's case) of the debates they were in.  Bernie didn't win any debates.  I'm sure they're not afraid of him.  The problem is that he can hurt either of them in the real game whereas a victory over him only helps them in the imaginary game against him.  It'd be like if the Panthers took a break from the superbowl to go play the Cowboys, but every point the Cowboys scored went to the Broncos.  Sure, they'll win 42-7 or something, but that 42 doesn't count for anything because the game with the Cowboys doesn't count, while the 7 points to the Broncos could matter a whole hell of a lot.  It's not cowardice to turn down such a silly deal, and it definitely wouldn't be because the Panthers were afraid of the Cowboys.

I thought it was fairly obvious that Bernie won the Miami debate.

I honestly don't remember that debate at all.  Is that the one where they did it on a college campus and Sanders' supporters wouldn't stop screaming and clapping and cheering his name the entire time and they chanted for five minutes as soon as the closing statements ended?  I remember there was a debate like that and people said Bernie won at first based on the "enthusiasm of the crowd" and then within a few days it became just another tie.

Wow, so now both Trump and Hillary have reneged on promises to have a California debate with Bernie.

Trump suckered Sanders with no remorse here. The last shred of Sanders' dignity is destroyed and the only way he gets it back is to drop out and forcefully support Hillary on or very soon after June 7

Bernie shouldn't support either of these renegers.

Hi jfern. Is Jane Sanders still looking for those tax returns?

His house isn't enormous or anything, it can't be that hard to find the shoebox they're in.
