A more benign explanation is that perhaps he was just hoping to better understand the psychology of Trump supportersthe people who just wont come around to him and have effectively ended his bid for nomination.

It's not a "debate" when he tells lies. It's a manipulation that displays his arrogant belief that the dumb f***s supporting the guy who is beating him are too stupid to catch him out.
