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.
Ted did plenty of damage to Trump???????? What debate were you watching? Trump made Ted clap like a seal after he bested him over the New York values - Ted’s lackluster debate performance made me think he went to college as an affirmative action placement.
” there is no benefit to debating “
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 as another poster has said.
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.
