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.
Exactly. Trump just focused all attention on the corrupt and rigged dem system of Super delegates that makes it impossible for Bernie to win. He decided that debating a loser would be a mistake. He mention this in his speech in Fresno a couple hours ago before the announcement.
I am in hysterics over here!
Why do you say that? He took up for Bernie.
Says the ardent anti-Trumpster.
Just Trump bringing this up caused Hillary to take some Damage....
It’s not like he suggested it. It was a media trap.
Because debating Sanders in the face of Hillary’s refusal hurts Hillary even more. Now they’ll just draw equivalence between Trump & Hillary.
Thanks for setting the record straight, Donald. It would have been a debate watched around the world. The ad rates would have been astronomical. Yet, Donald did accomplish something, he got much of this country openly considering it, and accessing how this would effect Mrs. Clinton, the ‘presumed’ nominee.
She came thisclose to being gently pushed aside as irrelevant, and yielding the brightest democrat spotlight to Bernie. Hadn’t she already refused to debate him? Now we all know how easily it can be done, how vulnerable she really is. Mission Accomplished!
And on the media fat cats rolling in dough by manipulating public opinion to start fights between candidates so they can stick larger proceeds in their own wealthy pockets.
I quite obviously disagree. He also hurt the media who have been screaming that he’s a woman hater by having them refuse to donate to women’s health issues. Bwa ha ha!
Yes! Score another WIN for Trump!
(but I still think debating Mr. Sanders would have been a win, too, for Trump.... STILL AND ALL...Donald has handled this TO HIS ADVANTAGE this way, too.....Hillary’s a corrupt lying crook and the D nomination process is a corrupt lie, too!...Bernie’s legion of supporters will flock even more to Trump now, for his having so Clearly pointed out for the entire World to see....just how badly they and Sanders are being SCREWED by the CORRUPT D Party nomination bosses...)
“Says the ardent anti-Trumpster.”
Oh Really? You better check my history.This is a mistake and Trump isn’t perfect
It seems like only the losers are crying for debates...If losers want to debate, why not a Cruz/Sanders debate?...
That’s too nuanced of a message to get out. The only message the media will get out now is that “Trump is a flip-flopping chicken.”
And I say that as a strong Trump supporter. So dumb of him to have backtracked on this.
Well, that’s a bit disappointing. But at least he got in some shots at Crooked Hillary, Debbie Wasserman Shultz (I am amazed at how much I am completely disgusted by that oxygen-stealing, bloviating ball of protoplasm) and the Dems in general. Keeping truckin’ on, Donald!

Naa, not really, Hitlery would spin it as a second rate debate between two second rate candidates... just don’t want to open a can of worms if you don’t have too.
Good point. The WAY he said this is to be very open about how Bernie is getting screwed. Time for Bernie and his supporters to get. Upset at the Dem party. Glad he mentioned the hideous Debbie as well.
Yeah, it sounds like when you were a kid and playing with your friends and someone’s mom comes up with the little brother, she’s pushing him from behind, “You guys have to play with little Jimmy!” Hillary as little bro we have to debate with even though no one wants her.
