Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders has rare audience with USA president
One debate must be held in March, April and May, and none should be scheduled for Friday, Saturday or a holiday weekend, far different from the current schedule of debates, which were held mostly on weekends when viewership is low, noted Business Insider.
It was the first private meeting between the president and the Democrat candidate.
There are six DNC-sanctioned debates, and the party has faced accusations that it’s trying to limit the exposure of Mrs. Clinton with the schedule. “Any violation would result in forfeiture of the ability to participate in the remainder of the debate process”, the DNC announced in May. Adding another debate before New Hampshire’s February 9 primary would give her a large television audience that might help her reach undecided voters.
Clinton released a health statement from her doctor over the summer saying that she is in “excellent physical condition and fit to serve as President of the United States”. “Sanders will change his mind and join us”, she said on MSNBC Wednesday night. “I think the DNC and the campaigns should be able to work this out”.
“I’m ready for the debate, and I hope Sen”.
There’s no question about it: Donald Trump is conquering the Republican presidential field in the first three states to vote in the 2016 campaign, including in Iowa, where Texas Sen.
“She (Clinton) can govern, and she can start here, day one, more experienced than any non-vice president has ever been who aspires to this office”, said Obama, a remark widely interpreted by observers as a tacit endorsement of Clinton. We look forward to working with the DNC and the other campaigns to schedule a series of debates to follow those now scheduled.
But what if all three candidates participated in the unsanctioned debate?
Sanders has said his age would not affect his ability to serve in the White House and frequently points to his background as a cross-country runner in high school as a sign of his fitness and athletic prowess.
“I got emotional just being with them”. The most recent Fox News Poll in Iowa showed Sanders closing the gap, but Clinton still leading by 6 points.
“I want to be treated with dignity and respect, and I want other people to be treated with dignity and respect”, he said.
“Everything she has ever touched, she made something good happen”, he said.
