Related: About this forumQuestion: Doesn't Martin O'Malley's pushing for Unsanctioned Debates Disqualify Him
From any remaining debates. First he's trying to entrap Sanders into agreeing to them, now he's promoting NH forum to convert to a debate. Isn't this against the DNC's own rules for debates?

(23,018 posts)And all three are invited and have accepted the invite to the forum. If MOM pushes the event organizer to convert to a debate he'll have to rescind his invitation to not be in violation of the DNC rules. But he's forcing it so he's really violating those rules...

(41,600 posts)Bernie doesn't need to debate a candidate who polls at 1% on a consistent basis.
Let MOM ask HRH to debate!

Simple trying to get unsanctioned debates going is not enough for disqualification. In fact, unsanctioned debates could be scheduled, agreed to and everything is fine all the way up until such an unsanctioned debate occurs.

Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
Youll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin
Then you better start swimmin or youll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin
Dems to Win
(2,161 posts)All this taunting of Bernie is easy, since he knows it won't go anywhere and Martin won't have to actually face the decision of participating in a non-sanctioned debate and getting himself excluded from the nationally televised DNC debates.
The people of Maryland are supporting O'Malley at about 6%, according to the polls I've seen. IMHO, this lack of support from people in Maryland is a big part of the reason he's not gotten any traction nationally- not many of Martin's former constituents are talking him up on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Vermonters support Bernie at about 65%. I'm seeing that there are good reasons why Marylanders are not supporting their favorite son in large numbers.
