Bernie Too Negative to Warrant NY Debate with Hillary?

Mark Grimaldi, Executive Producer of The Leslie Marshall Show, guest hosts for Leslie during this interview.

He's joined by Political Strategist Brad Bannon. The two discuss whether there is any validity to Hillary Clinton pollster Joel Benenson's comments that Bernie Sanders' campaign has been too negative toward Hillary Clinton for her campaign to agree to a debate with him in New York ahead of the state's April 19th primary.

Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns.
Brad also writes a weekly blog for EpicTimes.com and is a lecturer in Political Science at Salem State University in Salem, Massachusetts.
