Why Bernie Rejected April 14th date for debate...

Meanwhile, Sanders’ event schedule was filling up, with Sanders scheduling high-profile rallies at major locations throughout the city, including in downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan, and some outdoors. Sanders received a difficult-to-obtain permit for a high-profile rally in a coveted Manhattan space on the evening of April 14 which has yet to be publicly announced.

Could he be holding a rally in Central Park? Imagine if Simon and Garfunkel showed up and played America live, we already know they support Sanders because they allowed him to use it in his ad.

2. Yeah...I'm sure HRC's campaign had no idea he had this scheduled for April 14 when she proposed it

She certainly doesn't know the mayor or anything, or anyone else who might leak this information.

and kabuki theater from the Weathervane Players.

Here's to Clinton stopping her silly games and getting this debate scheduled, like any grown-up adult would.

so she will do anything she can to make it look like Bernie is the one that is the problem when in actuality she is the one that is sandbagging it.

10. Well, that little attitude may backfire on her

because Bernie was behind in NY by 30 points. The last poll I saw has him only behind by 10. He's surging like a crazy person.

You wait, when he pulls ahead in the NY polls after Wisconsin--she'll be begging for a debate in NY!!

Remember when that happened in Iowa? "No more debates!" said Debbie. Then Clinton tanks in the Iowa polls and suddenly, CNN puts together a big event in Des Moines! Within six hours, it's a done deal. A magical debate in Iowa--right out of thin air!

Oh how I hope that happens. I think she needs a big ol helping of karma hitting her square in the face.

And it really could happen. Bernie is doing so well in NY. The events they have planned for him in that state sound amazing. Trips to his Bronx neighborhood; trips to where he used to run track. This could really underscore his NY connection and spark additional enthusiasm for him. The state just loves him and his crowds have been fantastic. Her crowd look like PTA meetings.

Bernie will win WI and WY on Tuesday. He'll have a nice jolt of momentum injected into the campaign and he'll ride that into the NY primary. Bernie really is in the cat-bird seat when it comes to NY. Things seem to be going his way.

She's also got an FBI investigation and an interview with Comey hanging over her head.

She's vulnerable and Bernie is surging. She may regret acting like such a jerk.

7. The HRC camp want no debates with Sanders

"Unfortunately, the dates and venues she has proposed don't make a whole lot of sense," Sanders campaign spokesperson Michael Briggs said in a statement Saturday. "The idea that they want a debate in New York on a night of the NCAA finals -- with Syracuse in the tournament no less -- is ludicrous."

They know she goes off the rails when she debates Sanders.
