Hillary is trying to control the Democrat debate(s) outcome. Why? Because her lead is not 1712 to 1004. Rather, it is 1262 to 1004 without the Super Delegates. Understand that they (the Super Delegates) are committed to Hillary, as I write, but can change their minds. They did this very thing back in 2008 when the pool switched, significantly, for Barack Obama. With 2008 in mind, the Clinton people, in a state of panic, are making demands that Sanders act out as if he is a servant to her demands. Time will tell as to whether this strategy backfires on the desperate Secretary. ~ editor
The Hill:
After winning a trio of states over the weekend, Sanders on Sunday called for a debate in New York ahead of that state’s April 19 primary. The Vermont senator is looking to cut into Clinton’s delegate lead and says he has the “momentum” heading into the latter half of the race.
The pair faced off in a Miami debate earlier this month, and a Sanders campaign letter on Sunday said the two campaigns had agreed to a California debate in May but had not agreed to terms on a debate in April, according to The New York Times.
“What’s the risk?” CNN’s Kate Bolduan asked Monday, pressing multiple times about agreeing to a debate in New York.
“There’s no risk. She’s done very well in the debates,” Benenson responded.
“Sen. Sanders doesn’t get to decide when we debate, particularly when he’s running a very negative campaign against us,” he continued.
“Let’s see if he goes back to the kind of tone he said he was going to set early on. If he does that, then we’ll talk about debates,” Benenson added.
