The only "value" in holding more debates is to benefit Bernie. Joe shouldn't (and probably won't) agree to waste time debating someone who's already lost the race.
This thing is over, and Bernie is still pretending that he has a chance... that he can serve up a miracle come-from-behind victory. But it ain't gonna happen. He knows it. I know it. You know it. We ALL know that Bernie is not going to be our party's nominee.
He's had PLENTY of time to come to terms with it. He's had PLENTY of time to come up with a nice and face-saving way to withdraw from the race and endorse Joe Biden.
The window of opportunity for him to do this gracefully and to preserve any sense of honor and integrity that may be remaining... well... that window is closing. Time is short.
If he wants to make a difference, then the first thing he needs to do is withdraw and get on the Biden Bandwagon to help defeat Trump and the GOP. Anything short of that will only serve to divide and weaken the Democratic party. Not endorsing Biden only creates resentment and distrust.
What good purpose does that serve? It's does nothing except create an atmosphere of negativity. Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

I would love to see this. Sanders is not a candidate and is obviously clinging to the stage

Bernie's road to VICTORY... looks a little shaky. It's a dangerous game he's playing.
