Would be a brilliant move for Trump to do this. Donate the money to charity.
Guess what? Now I’m hearing that Donald ‘was just kidding’, that no, there will not be any debate with Bernie.
I think I just got whiplash.
Hillary is smart. She knows that every time she opens her mouth she loses votes.
The debate would smash viewership records.
IMHO, there is no benefit to debating The Bern and LOTS of potential downside.
Bernie isn’t going to cross the finish line so he can go as nasty as he wants.
Ted did plenty of damage to Trump.
Lets not have a replay of that drama.
Trump should debate Hillary and Bernie!
He could say it wasn’t fair for Hillary to be left out..lol
Would be watched by a yuuge audience.
Trump and Bernie could tag-team the Witch...lol
Trump and Bernie could make like chums... that would really piss Hillary off.
I think this would be a brilliant move by Trump. I wonder if a presumptive nominee of one party has ever debated a candidate from the other primary before they became the presumptive nominee. I doubt that has ever happened and it just shows how crazy this election season is. He is stirring the operation chaos pot in the Democratic party. Their convention is going to be great theater...
If this debate is approved by the RNC, then why not??
I will be voting for Trump but I am already sick of him
This is a remarkable article by the enemedia, and I would encourage everyone who finds this thread to read the whole thing. It pretty much is straight analysis (and good analysis at that), and as a consequence it puts Trump in a remarkably good light and Crooked Hillary in a remarkably bad light.
Overall, with a few exceptions like The Slimes and HuffPo, I’m seeing an amazing shift in the way much of the enemedia is writing about this election. I think they know Crooked Hillary is toast and Trump is going to win in a landslide, and are desperately trying to hold on to their last remaining thread of credibility by avoiding a fatal (to them) kamikaze attack against the U.S.S. Donald J. Trump imperial dreadnought.
Trump and Sanders will both be debating Hillary.
Bill Kristol just died a little. LOL!
Sanders is malleable. Trump will get Sanders to turn the “debate” into a Hillary bash session with both of them doing the bashing. She better decide to be there.
1)Sanders goes after Trump and scores big. Hillary still has the nomination locked up so Bernie doesn't benefit. Trump, on the other hand, gets wounded and never regains momentum. Looks like Hillary wins this one.
2)Sanders goes after Trump and goes down in flames. Trump gains some undecideds but loses those disaffected Bernie supporters who might have voted for him. It's a squeaker but Hillary still wins this one.
3)Bernie and Trump smile for the cameras and blather about nothing at all. No one wins the debate, but Hillary wins the election.
4)Bernie and Trump collude and go after Hillary. Probably the best scenario for Trump, but will Bernie go along with this? And can he be trusted? This is potentially the most profitable for Trump, also the most fraught with risk. Someone will say "yeah, that's Trump's style - high risk, high return". But he wouldn't take any risk without a reasonable chance of success.
I have said that Bernie was promoted as Hillary's stalking horse. Maybe he's not, never was. Or at least not since he had such success in the primaries. Does he still think he can influence this election? He could help Trump bring Hillary down, but does that help Bernie? If Hillary were gone, Trump would eat his lunch in November.
Unless he's POTUS, Bernie will be totally irrelevant this time next year - can you say Lieberman? I'm sure he's considered that, too.
I've maybe missed some possibilities, but if I was Trump, or even if I was Bernie, I'd pass on this idea.
Nonsense.
It is the culmination of a “Lets you and him fight” strategy.
Those two get a chance to rip into each other, while Hillary has a drink or five.
