Always nice for people to learn more about Bernie!!! Hillary too...
Comments
Thanks for the news.
I'll believe it when a date and place are announced
I think she and her team are weasels and that they'll try to not do this.
I agree
But hate to denigrate weasels.
They're dodgy just by breathing...
...but I think the Clinton camp will follow through. If they reneged on the deal...I think it'd look so bad to the electorate that the Villagers would have to cover it.
If I were the Sanders camp, I'd demand the debate be held in Brooklyn, Queens, or as close to Wall Street as possible.
Yeah, that was a fast about-face, wasn't it?
Shit like that from Camp Clinton makes the ol' spidey-sense tingle. Now, why do you suppose that is?
Audience
They are packing the audience. And probably picking the questions. Kind of like when HRC knew every detail of the "Castro video" in order to make a snarky remark about something the audience did not see as the clip only showed half of his answer.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.--Aristotle
If there is no struggle there is no progress.--Frederick Douglass
Astute observation.
Both things are true, aren't they?
They absolutely stack the crowd with cheerleaders, and, it does totally seem like HRC has been privy to questions beforehand (when she gives that creepy, affirmative head nod which gives way to an approving smile gives it all away, in her interviews anyway).
As Puddytat wrote about the Milwaukee debate, the crowd is definitely stacked. There was that great photo of the front rows of the audience that looked like the top tier, pearl clutching, elite donor squad, who "scored" the big ticket in town.

These people repulse me.

Should be interesting.

Should be great!!!
Maybe the Goldman Sachs crew can come and watch for free. Should be entertaining something of a cross between "The Wizard of Wall Street" and "The Titanic" on Hillary's side. "It's a Wonderful Life" for Bernie. Wonder who Frank Capra would chose?
I'm thinking there's no 'maybe' about that one
I wonder if she wouldn't agree to it until she extracted a deal from GS that they won't send their goons to sit in the audience. That makes her all nervous, you know....
I suggest an outdoor location....say....Zuccotti Park
it'll probably be a nice night. That time of year is lovely in NY
Heh!

Bernie campaign should frame it as, "Wall St vs. the rest of NY"
,as someone put it in a diary written by a Councilman Rice, from the Hudson Valley, who endorsed Bernie.
Actually the person who made that comment, named Maya Jordan, I see now has been banished with skull and crossbones too.
What a fucking farce that authoritarian hothouse has become.

RELEASE THE TRANSCRIPTS!
This is the democratic primary so what Republicans do is not relevant to this primary. release the transcripts.

Can it happen
On Wall Street?
Two birds with one stone
For Hillary. Friendly audience and easy access to the donor base.
I'm aware of the irony in the subject line. Not intentional, probably an act of God...

Hopefully
It won't be another CNN sham debate.
Beware the bullshit factories.
Corporate Media
Equals sham debate. Soon progressive candidates will totally circumvent the establishment media and leave their 'news' departments to wither on the vine.
130k signatures for TYT to host the debate.
Showing again the huge, exploding gap between the millenials and traditional MSM.
IMO, the TYT have been doing superlative coverage and analysis of the debate and how it is being covered (and blacked-out) by the press.
