Got it. On May 11, 2016, at 10:25 PM, Debbie Wasserman Schultz <hrtsleeve@gmail.com<mailto:hrtsleeve@gmail.com>> wrote: No, I would not encourage them to do that. As of right now, the Sanders campaign is not supporting a DNC sanctioned debate, which as you know, was part of the agreement when we added the four extra debates. We need to make sure that if we were going to entertain the possibility of having FOX host the final debate, that they understand that we start with this as a DNC sanctioned? debate and that is non-negotiable. Thanks. DWS Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone. What do folks think? I haven't had any conversations like that with him. Luis, have you?

A Democratic debate on Fox, with Megyn et al, would draw an enormous audience and drive voter interest through the roof. Would love your thoughts.

We used to talk a while back when I was Gephardt's flack. We'll know a lot more about where we are tomorrow since both campaigns have suspended talks until after the primary. Hi Erik, I'm connecting you here with Bill Sammon who is the Vice President of News and Washington Managing Editor for Fox News Channel. As you know Fox recently hosted Senators Clinton and Sanders for a Town Hall. Bill and his team led that effort, and they are interested in being considered for the possible additional May debate. I had a good conversation with Bill yesterday and laid out the process, so I wanted to make sure he's in touch with you directly.
