Regarding Debates - Sanders proposed 4 days (Apr. 10, 11, 12 or 13)

According to Zeke Miller of Time:

[div New Sanders statement lays out his debate availability. This whole thing is comical class="excerpt"

Easy for me to check on Hillary's schedule to see what she is doing on those days.

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 April 13 will work for Hillary. She isn't listed on the Bill Reception Fundraiser. Only that it's in support of her. So . . .

We'll see. . .

looks like the best day. She can still attend the fundraiser and will have plenty of time to get to the debate.

I didn't even list Bill's afternoon reception for Hillary Victory Fund or the dozens of fundraisers Chelsea is doing!

for her. That's an awful lot of open time for her so it may be already spoken for but not recorded. Just saying.

3. Wow! That's a lot of fundraisers. Does Bernie have big fund raisers?

I hope she takes one of those days. I guess fund raisers over meeting the people or speeches or rallies is a better investment. Advertising expenses? Ads. I'm learning here. I'm serious about Bernie - does he do fund raisers?

5. Back in January Bernie's campaign had suggested April 14 in New York. However anyone who
Sun Apr 3, 2016, 05:34 PM

has ever seen a campaign knows that events can change many times over from Jan 30 to now, two months is a long time in a campaign. Just because an event wasn't on the schedule back then doesn't mean Bernie is playing games, it just means at that time no event was scheduled. Just to explain why Bernie turned down the April 14 at this time.

PRESS RELEASE
Sanders Campaign Statement on Debates
JANUARY 30, 2016
Twitter Facebook Email Link
DES MOINES, Iowa – Bernie Sanders’ campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, issued the following statement Saturday on negotiations over additional debates:

“After refusing for months to participate in more debates, Secretary Clinton requested that the Democratic National Committee rules be changed and that a new debate take place in New Hampshire next week. We agreed pending an agreement on three future debates in March, April and May. Unfortunately, the Clinton campaign has not accepted debates we proposed on March 3 in Michigan and April 14 in New York. They apparently agreed to May 24 in California. The Clinton campaign, after not accepting Michigan, now says they want it. We are pleased to do it on March 3 before the Michigan primary provided the Clinton campaign will agree to Brooklyn, New York, on April 14. Why won’t they debate in Brooklyn? What’s the matter with Brooklyn?

If you don't know what the hell your candidate stands for perhaps you should just keep gardening or something.
Why don't you call this what it is,
you Sanders people just want a chance to brow beat Clinton or vice versa.
If we don't start hating republicans again and soon
we are going to lose.

8. Us Sanders people want to brow beat Clinton?

The additional debates were agreed to when Clinton wanted the NH debate added to the schedule. What does this have to do with ME or other supporters. It's between Clinton and Sanders whether they want more debates or not. They can decide.

I personally have no desire to brow beat Hillary. She's fully capable of messing up on her own.

16. We know what our candidate stands for and what your candidate stands for.

We want everybody to know. That's what a primary is for, that's what a debate is for. If you feel your candidate needs to be protected and wrapped in bubble wrap so they don't look bad, perhaps you should in your own words "just keep gardening or something."
