“This makes no sense at all. Why should Trump debate Bernie, if he’s not going to go up against him (we assume) in November?”
Really?
No doubt the networks have already started a bidding war to carry this debate, as it will be the best political theater since TV was invented, with ratings totally through the roof, maybe greater than a Superbowl. And best of all, Irrelevant Hillary will be watching on the sidelines, stewing in her own juices.
Also, as others too have pointed out, a debate like this would be totally brilliant for Trump on multiple levels: Trump could only come out of this win-win, whereas no matter what happens for Bernie, this will be a MAJOR lose-lose for the Democrats and for Irrelevant Hillary herself, as it would have a shattering impact on the Democrat race. Basically, a debate like this is letting Trump inside the Democrat party to completely blow it up.
The Democrats couldn’t have imagined going up against someone like Trump in their wildest nightmares, and yet here he is and there they are.
Trump thinks outside the box and he recognizes an opportunity when he sees it. Hillary plays a good game of checkers; Trump plays 3-D chess. I can’t wait to hear Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert comment on this.
Once again this shows that Trump plays 3D chess while the others are playing tiddlywinks.
