Clinton aide: Sanders needs to change 'tone' if he wants NY debate
[THEHILL] A top aide to Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Daniel Webster ...
's campaign on Monday dodged questions about setting up a debate with Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...
in New York, saying it depends on the senator's "tone."
The Clintonistas do seem to be a tad desperate these days, do they not?
"This is a man who said he'd never run a negative ad ever. He's now running them. They're planning to run more," Joel Benenson, Clinton's chief strategist, said on CNN. "Let's see the tone of the campaign he wants to run before we get to any other questions."

After winning a trio of states over the weekend, Sanders on Sunday called for a debate in New York ahead of that state's April 19 primary. The Vermont senator is looking to cut into Clinton's delegate lead and says he has the "momentum" heading into the latter half of the race.

The pair faced off in a Miami debate earlier this month, and a Sanders campaign letter on Sunday said the two campaigns had agreed to a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, debate in May but had not agreed to terms on a debate in April, according to The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
"What's the risk?" CNN's Kate Bolduan asked Monday, pressing multiple times about agreeing to a debate in New York.

"There's no risk. She's done very well in the debates," Benenson responded.

"Sen. Sanders doesn't get to decide when we debate, particularly when he's running a very negative campaign against us," he continued.

"Let's see if he goes back to the kind of tone he said he was going to set early on. If he does that, then we'll talk about debates," Benenson added.

#2 her Coronation seems delayed. If you refuse to debate because your opponent ran a critical (but true) ad, perhaps you aren't fit for the job.

Hint: she's not
