Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders debate over debates

It came on a day when Sanders’ campaign conducted damage control in Nevada and released the senator’s medical records, something he had vowed to do before the Iowa caucus. Bernie Sanders’ campaign has released a doctor’s letter declaring Sanders “in overall very good health”.

Sanders has also expanded his lead over Clinton in New Hampshire, while Trump continues to lead the GOP field there, according new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls released Thursday morning. “Now she is asking to change the rules to schedule a debate next week that is not sanctioned by the DNC”.

“The answer is obvious”.

In a statement issued Wednesday night, Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager, said Sanders has always been interested in more debates.

Sarandon – who has rallied for LGBT rights for over three decades – added that she thought Clinton was a “johnny-come-lately” on marriage equality.

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders this week proposed holding an additional three Democratic debates, as the jockeying among the party’s candidates continued over how often they should face off in the weeks ahead. One debate must be held in March, April and May, and none should be scheduled for Friday, Saturday or a holiday weekend, far different from the current schedule of debates, which were held mostly on weekends when viewership is low, noted Business Insider.

Responding to the ad, Clinton’s campaign said Sanders was shifting into attack mode and breaking his pledge not to run negative advertising.

The Clinton campaign on Tuesday said Clinton would “participate in a debate in New Hampshire if the other candidates agree, which would allow the DNC to sanction the debate”. “I think the DNC and the campaigns should be able to work this out”.

Citing Sanders’ “brave” October 9, 2002, speech on the Senate floor, in which he staunchly opposed the Iraq war, Sarandon said, “I need somebody with judgment and not just experience”.

Clinton’s camp hasn’t formally responded to Sanders’ proposal, but extending the debate schedule into May would lengthen the primary campaign, a process Clinton still hopes will wrap up in March.
