Why Bernie should be very careful about O'Malley's proposal to hold Debates himself.

[sabrina 1]

First, the DNC does NOT want Sanders in any debate with Hillary. The contrast on Issues is bound to harm THEIR preferred candidate.

The DNC has set it up so that 'anyone who participates in debates outside their approved schedule, will be banned from THEIR debates.

IF Bernie participates in O'Malley's proposed debates outside the six scheduled by the DNC, he will be banned from the DNC Debates.

The ONLY way he should do so is if both Webb and Chafee also participate in O'Malley's proposed debates.

The best thing that could happen for the DNC is to hold the debates with ONLY Chafee, Webb and Hillary.

So, let's start pressuring Webb and Chafee who have, supposedly, nothing to lose by joining O'Malley and if they won't, then neither should Bernie.

Just my opinion, but I'm beginning to see this as a possible trap for Bernie.

If he refuses O'Malley's invitation, they will accuse him of not really wanting debates.

If he accepts it, he will not be in the DNC debates.

So now is the time to make this a huge issue.

First with Hillary, Webb and Chafee.

AND MOSTLY force the DNC to lift that ban!

Use this to HIGHLIGHT the ridiculous anti-democratic demands of the DNC regarding debates.

Bernie should start talking about it now everywhere he goes. Tell people he will not be tricked out of the DNC debates, however he would like to join O'Malley so long as Hillary, Webb and Chafee do so also and ask people to contact them asking them to join him and O'Malley.

I'm getting a bad feeling about this. Hopefully I am wrong.
