Hillary: No more debates until Bernie starts being nicer to me

Once again, the queen is displeased. This is supposed to be her coronation and that icky man with the unkempt hair keeps saying things and being places. Away with him! This is about her. It's about her! All of you just stop it! As if it were not outlandish enough that Bernie Sanders actually whooped her over the weekend in the Alaska, Hawaii and Washington caucuses, now he's actually running ads criticizing her. This. Will. Not. Do. And since Hillary is still struggling to put away a doddering, wild-eyed socialist so she can claim her birthright the presidency, her campaign now needs an excuse to dodge further debates with him.

Might as well use his "tone." It's not to Hillary's liking, and until Bernie starts acting the way Hillary wants, you can forget about any more debates:

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 California debate in May but had not agreed to terms on a debate in April, according to The New York Times. "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.

The point here is not that debates are such a great thing. Debates in primary races are absurd spectacles. They're not really debates at all. They're joint, random press conferences in which no one has any idea what they'll have to talk about because it's all up to a journalist who's trying to get attention on TV - but it almost never has anything to do with the issues facing the nation the job of being president. The point is that Hillary would debate all day long if she thought it would benefit her, but since she doesn't she presumes to dictate to her opponent how he needs to act toward her in order to get her on the stage. You can certainly understand why Sanders wants more debates. He did well out west but he's still got a lot of ground to make up, and he's convinced that if he can somehow take New York - where he plans to barnstorm the state as if he were running for governor - it would be a game-changer in the entire race. The challenger always wants more debates because he wants more opportunities to land blows on the leader. Most leaders wouldn't mind avoiding debates, but I've never seen one try to get out of one by trying to dictate to her opponent how he needs to act toward her in order to have the debate go forward.

But then, I've never seen a candidate for president - and this includes Obama - who was this convinced that the whole thing was all about her, and was so incensed to the point of seething rage any time someone dared to question her. She is a real piece of work. You Democrats who think you can laugh at what's happening on the Republican side, I hope you realize what you're getting into by nominating this woman.
