I had a scary thought about this last night. Many of us have been saying that no one can beat Trump. Only Trump can beat himself. I wonder if this will be seen as that, Trump beating himself. Sanders is going to be in full attack-Trump mode. This could backfire on Trump.
And how long have the chattering classes been saying that? Not going to happen my friend. He is way too smart for that, plus he has been totally inoculated. His life is an open book and has been for years. They've got nothing new to throw at him.
Attacking Trump? Bernie has to beat Hillary first! There will be some of that, but I think it will be a trash Hillary bash fest.
Lighten up. There's no downside to this for either Trump or Sanders. They're both having fun as they tear down the rigged system.
I think they will make sure the debate benefits both of them and destroy hillary once and for all.
If Trump's last name was McCain or Romney or Dole or Bush I or Bush II or Rove...but his last name is NOT!
When I first heard of this I could not believe what a brilliant move it was on Trump's part.
Paint Crooked Hillary into a corner.
Define, isolate, humiliate, DESTROY!
Which brings Trump's "smarts" into question.
America has been shat upon mightily by the Obama administration on the world stage. America has been belittled for the past 7+ years by a closet muslim slimebag.
"Mr. Trump we don't have time for the National Anthem to be sung before the rally."
Trump response, "Oh, yes we do."
Make America Great Again begins with patriotism. What better way to contrast Trump from The Bitch of Benghazi and Obama The Apologist than to have this occur at one of his rallies?
If happenstance that he took advantage of or if planned, either way it was great reaction or brilliant action.
As for Bernie, he still needs to attack Hillary and the system. Attacking Trump does nothing at this point for his campaign. He will probably be in full attack Hillary/establishment/Wall Street mode as well he should. That is his entire campaign.
Trump is an outsider like himself. No good can come from an attack.
There is NO upside for Trump to do this debate. The suggestion was brilliant. He should have asked for 25 million, knowing the networks wouldn’t pay it.
I support Trump 100%. However, I am not convinced he would out debate Sanders. Most of the negative press he has gotten was produced by his own words. These were major self inflicted mistakes. These same words did not kill his candidacy. They did wound him for those voters who are undecided. These same voters he is courted today.
Reagan had the velvet touch. He punched hard. Carter never felt the sting until it was too late.
Uh, no.
Nah, Bernie can’t attack Trump any worse than the Republican debate moderators did.
And Trump did fine then.
