The Sanders Campaign has counteroffered 4/13 thurs or 4/17 Sun for a debate, Clinton declines.

The ball is once again in the Clinton campaign.

The dates Clinton proposed didn't work:
1.

The Clinton campaign pushed for an April 4 date at Hofstra University sponsored by the local station NY 1, but Sanders aides mocked that proposal, saying it was the same date as an NCAA tournament game. “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,” said Briggs in a statement.


2.
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.

C'mon - they had to know this! This is going to be a major event with high profile speakers & musicians.

3. The morning of tax day? which is on a workday? LOL! C'mon, really? Maybe they should have scheduled it for Easter Sunday.

The Sanders campaign proposed April 13 as a possible debate date, sources confirmed.

The Clinton campaign did not accept that date


Despite their earlier insistence on a weekday debate, Sanders has now proposed a debate early on Sunday, April 17

the nba is almost like wrestling now,staged

so real fans watch the college teams because the refereeing is better,more about skill and less about personalities like "4 steps for a lay up labron"

Now there is a fundraiser on April 10 at Terry McAuliffe's house - a bbq for $33,400 for the very wealthy and the $2,700 for the "regular folks". That's from 5-7 PM.

On April 11 - well there are 2 events. There's a morning 8AM-10AM one - only $1,000 or $2,700 for that conversation with Hillary. Then there's an Evening fundraiser with Hillary Clinton - that is in Glen Cove NY. Much more affordable - you can get a ticket for $1,000 and the top one is only $2,700. But you don't get bbq like you do at the McAuliffe's. Just a reception. Time TBD.

I see fundraisers with John Podesta and others with Chelsea Clinton but nothing for Hillary . . . so maybe that day will work in her busy schedule. Maybe she can fit it in after her NY reception.

April 12 - busy day for Secretary Clinton. She has scheduled a fundraiser at the home of Marsha and Henry Laufer in Manalapan, Florida. This is the big one - $33,400 or for the regular folks buy a ticket for $2,700 (and you get a preferred viewing section for that measly amount). There appears to be something called Friends tickets for a paltry $500 but no idea what you get for that. Maybe you can park the guests cars! Now this one is in the afternoon - time is TBD.

She has another fundraiser at the Hilton Downtown 5:30-7:30. This must be for all the "just plain folks" because those tickets are cheap. For $1,000 you get premium seating. For $500 you get preferred seating. General seating goes for $250. Not sure what you get for the $100 tickets - it just says General Admission. Maybe you have to stand in the back.

She also has a fundraiser in Miami Beach at the home of Tiffany and Alex Heckler but only the $2,700 tickets are for sale. That time is still TBD as well. Maybe Hillary can debate from the beach! But it's going to be tough.

April 13. I doubt this day will work because this is the day of the Bill Fundraiser in Washington DC!!! This is an evening Reception with Bill and you can go for only $2,700. Guests can come for $1,000. Time is still TBD

Maybe this day will work for Hillary. She isn't listed on the Bill Reception Fundraiser. Only that it's in support of her.

We'll see. . .

Of course at all of these you can be a host or co-host for lots more bucks if you want!
