> [@dalej42](#): > > Sanders will be competitive in New Hampshire, which is very white and also next door to Vermont. However, the rest of February is being fought on much less friendly ground for Sanders. A couple of landslide wins for Hillary in South Carolina and Nevada followed by Super Tuesday will end Sanders as a viable candidate. His die hard supporters will continue to whine about media coverage and play the poor little me card.But, the shiny penny won’t be new and he will lose much of his support. > > So, I don’t think there will be a need for March debates. That sounds like a much more reasonable position than what your original posts sounded like to me. Not one that I think is as obvious a foregone conclusion as you, but I get it. ---

> [@dalej42](#): > > …So, I don’t think there will be a need for March debates. Hillary and the DNC agreed to more debates. It doesn’t appear that the decision-makers agree with you. I don’t know if 2016 is the year of the underdog, the year of what’s-shiny-and-new, or it’s the year of the I’m-mad-as-hell-and-I’m-not-going-to-take-it-any-more voter? We certainly live in interesting times. ---

Debate terms finalized. [http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/268079-clinton-sanders-agree-to-four-more-debates](http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/268079-clinton-sanders-agree-to-four-more-debates) Thursday in New Hampshire, March in Flint, Michigan, April in Pennsylvania, and May in California. Bernie didn’t get the New York debate and I highly doubt he’ll have a viable campaign by the time those April and May debates roll around. ---

A lot of people didn’t think Bernie would tie Hillary in Iowa, either. Bernie demanded multiple debates and Bernie got multiple debates. ---

There’s a [GD thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=781536) with much such argument.
