Hillary Clinton said during her first run for the presidency in 2008 that each presidential candidate “should be willing to debate anytime, anywhere,” the Intercept reports.
Clinton, of course, lost that Democratic primary fight to current President Barack Obama. In her second run, she no longer abides by this rule. She reasoned that because the presidency is the toughest job in the world, candidates should be able to handle debates at any time.
Zaid Jilani wrote in the Intercept about the background of this clip.
In late April 2008, Clinton called for a 90 minute, “Lincoln-Douglas”-style debate with Obama. This was after the Democratic candidates had faced each other in 26 debates — far outnumbering the eight debates that Sanders and Clinton have had this election season.
No surprise here. Hillary fancies herself a progressive, but when the progressive ideals of voter participation and enfranchisement come into play, she's willing to sacrifice for her own good. Make no mistake: The Clintons are, as always, ideologically unmoored. Raw power is all that matters to them.

She won't face anyone that will call her out for what she has done. Trump 2016
Wouldn't it be nice to see the liberal media just ONE TIME give her their biased Kelly Meagan/Chris Matthews drive-by treatment in a real interview. The hypocrisy of the MSM is mind boggling. Until they have JUST ONE real interview with any of the Demonrats starting with Obama and Clinton, I will always hold their reporting as useless Democrat/Communist party propaganda.
Silly article.
Hillary is not afraid of Bernie. They both work for the same people. He reads his script, and she reads her script. The show goes on.
Oh the suspense of it! Who will win? Oh my, the People must make a decision . . .
I pray Sanders wins over her. Despite the socialist label, his ideas are no more fanatical than Social Security. Even Trump says don't mess with that. Plain and simple, Sanders has some good ideas and this arrogant, self-entitled woman can't stand that he is gaining on her fast.
Her facade of "inclusion" is crumbling fast as her surrogates tell women they have a "special place in hell" for not voting with their vaginas. Now she is telling millions of Sanders supporters basically to "F off." Real great way to try to bring people together, NOT.
THIS woman will NOT be voting for Hillary. I can't bring myself to vote for Trump, although I understand why others will. Bottom line, Hillary, is that Susan Sarandon is right in her analysis that a lot of Sanders supporters will not vote for you. And YOU are writing that prophecy.
Some will vote for Trump in protest. Some will vote for you out of Dem loyalty. But a HELL of a lot will either stay home or write Bernie in. And THAT is what may cost you the election. At the very least, we may see an election with a plurality win, not a majority.
For the times, they are a-changin'.
