Based on the fact that the Democratic nominating process is totally rigged and Crooked Hillary Clinton and Deborah Wasserman Schultz will not allow Bernie Sanders to win, and now that I am the presumptive Republican nominee, it seems inappropriate that I would debate the second place finisher. Likewise, the networks want to make a killing on these events and are not proving to be too generous to charitable causes, in this case, women’s health issues. Therefore, as much as I want to debate Bernie Sanders - and it would be an easy payday - I will wait to debate the first place finisher in the Democratic Party, probably Crooked Hillary Clinton, or whoever it may be.
LOL
Did he really type that?
I believe Deborah Wasserman Test Schultz was started here, at FR.
I like this... it’s going to rev up the Bern-Outs, and stick another knife into DWS
But then again, I’m not as politically savvy as say... George Will or Krauthammer who will be crying about this, and we all know that they know what’s best for the Republican Party....
Trying to up the ante?
Forthrightness like this must be causing some talking heads to spontaneously combust. Hilarious!
Trump just lost every potential Sanders vote he could’ve got. Moronic.
You hear that Joe Biden?
I think this is a tactical mistake. If he gave Bernie a debate and Bernie goes on to lose to Hildabeast, perhaps some of those Bernie voters who hate Hildabeast would switch to Trump. It costs Trump almost nothing to do the debate and if he can’t dispel the free-lunch snake oil crap Bernie is selling, he shouldn’t get our vote anyway.
“Trump just lost every potential Sanders vote he could’ve got. Moronic.’
I don’t think there is a whole lot of Sanders votes to be had. His supporters are off the charts left and total open borders types. They would never vote for a billionaire businessman or a guy who wants to build a wall along the southern border.
A Trump-Sanders debate would be a gimmick at this point. Wait until the Dems put whoever they are going to put up and debate them.
Trump didn’t lose anything. He decided not to elevate Bernie. He wants to run against Hillary.
Booo, big mistake
I think Trump would have had fun debating Bernie, and certainly could have done his campaign a lot of good.
But, by pointing out how the D party bosses have rigged their nomination... Trump scores a real BINGO zinger (because all D’s know its true)....and a lot of Bernie supporters will resonate to having this very unfair (read that CORRUPT) nomination system POINTED OUT so clearly....
so far, they’ve only had themselves to listen to when discussing this problem. Now, they have the entire nation’s attention being pointed directly to just how CROOKED Hillary and the D party machine bosses are...
Score one big one for the Donald as he will pick up even more Bernie voters this way!

Your home page says you’re a ‘radical libertarian’.
Just curious if that political outlook colors your thinking about this.
Hmmm. Why did he bail? I think this was a good forum for Trump?
The MSM has been played like a fiddle. LOL!!!
No real benefit to debating Bernie other than a remote chance he could use it to improve NH numbers.
What he DID do is place the flashlight clearly on Hillary and her attempt to steal delegates.
Why would it…? I’m pro-market, hate open borders, and am against just about everything Bernie wants.
This is it, Trump is finished! It’s over! He’s not a serious candidate!
He asked for $10 mil
Fox offered only $4 mil
Counter offer on the QT $7 mil they will settle on $6 mil
