Personally, I think/hope Sanders will drop out soon. But if he doesn't, it will set up an interesting problem. If the DNC is seen as "backing out" of a 12th debate to Bernie's detriment, that could engender some blowback. I hope it does not come to that.

I can't imagine a worse time for anybody to be jerking around with this process but they're doing it.

No one else needs to humor their delusions.

At this point delusion is all it is.

this Sunday and the voters overwhelmingly rejected his argument this Tuesday.

There’s nothing further to ‘debate.’

to Joe Biden.

It's over. No more debates, it just affirms their delusion and radicalization.

Their candidate is still sore from the ass-kicking he received the last time. Why would they want to show the contrast between BS' bickering and his petulant behavior and a seasoned, competent statesman again?

That didn't turn out too well for him.

I told her it was over, and she argued with me. Wierd. I finally said, "go away and take Bernie with you." She replied, "ok. Have a really great day."


So wierd.

The general election has begun.

Democrats into Republicans anymore. After accusing Democrats of being corrupt for the tenth billion time, enough is enough.

Just rerun the last one if people are really hungry to watch another debate.

It would be bad for a candidate to cancel one that has already been scheduled, but since there aren't any other debates planned at this point there would be no need to agree to another. It is past "over".

Biden gave Bernie a courtesy debate on Sunday.

This primary is over. Biden needs to pivot to facing Trump.

Bernie needs to take up knitting.

Joe was well ahead when he debated Bernie one-on-one. Bernies supporters were just sure that Joe would never hold up, that' his "dementia" would become clear to everyone, and that Bernie would ride that to the nomination. But that's not what happened. Joe reminded people that he's a very formidable debater in one-on-one situations as Paul Ryan found out.

There's no reason to give Bernie another chance to distort Bidens record. Biden is the nominee, it's over. Bernie is certainly entitled to run his campaign as long as he wants, but we have a clear winner at this point and there's no reason for Biden to keep running the primary when he should be focusing on consolidating the biggest coalition possible and continuing to run against Bernie isn't going to do that.

show me the $$$$$$$$$$$$$,and let it be

I’ve heard Bernie’s stump speech so often, I think I could give it myself - and I don’t even buy what he’s selling.

Only if Biden wants a warm-up session, a sparring partner before taking on the Squatter-in-Chief. Joe's last debate was a command performance. He has continually improved his debating skills, so I'd say whatever he agrees to is okay.

Is it necessary for the sake of the primary? No. The public, the base, the Democratic Party has made their decision: Joe Biden will be our nominee.

It's all over but for the shouting.

There was a debate. I wish Trump is the only name that comes up.
No Biden this.
No Bernie that.

There is no longer a reason for debates, voters have determined who our nominee will be.
