If the Trump/Sanders debate proceeds as planned in California, you’re about to witness one of the most important moments of a 2016 general election that hasn’t even begun yet. To say such a debate would be an unmitigated disaster for Hillary Clinton would be the understatement of the century. Let’s explore why.
First of all, Hillary Clinton outright rejected a debate request from Bernie Sanders ahead of the June 7th California primary. Given Sanders’ recent momentum, as well as her need to persuade a significant number of his supporters to back her in November; such a denial was not only arrogant, it was highly insulting to voters in America’s largest state. From team Clinton’s perspective there was little upside to agreeing to a debate, versus easily manageable downside from a few days of negative media coverage.
Or so they thought…

Good one.
One of the comments on ZH: Trump should choose Bernie as VP.
That would make so many heads explode.
Agreed. Austin’s insight is beautiful.
You pose an interesting scenario: Sanders gives one of is "free everything" soundbites . . . and Trump always answers with just that one word "Venezuela".
Thanks. Does my heart good to see that. How can you not love this guy?
Is Goofy Elizabeth Warren going to make shrill pronouncements about this debate?
She probably will!!!!
Despite my enthusiasm for Trump and his campaign, that photo is nothing more than a staged photo op. To wit, notice that aside from an empty box of French fries and the cap removed from the Diet Coke, the soda, Big Mac and ketchup packets have not been touched.
Loving it. How can you not love this guy.
Rush today saying this was incredibly brilliant, but for different reasons. He says it will expose to the American people via Sanders how radically whacky the whole Dem Party is. He’s right on that!
Yes, absolutely. But I'm afraid that will only happen with a massive financial crisis and government bankruptcy. What government anywhere (and their tens of millions of dependents and cronies) have ever chosen to voluntarily eliminate large parts of themselves?
Because the Republican message was the “New World Order” = open borders, free trade, etc.
They want, and still want us the middle class, to drop dead and before we do, they want us to live in “tiny houses” having one child and no car with no culture of our own (and no Jesus).
Exactly!
That would make so many heads explode.
Mine included.
Trump & Bernie are speaking directly to these issues, which is why they are resonating with a majority of the electorate. Emma Goldman and many others have famously said that if voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal. We've seen how true that is for generations now; this is possibly a one-time shot.
If these core issues at hand cannot be peacefully resolved, then we'll continue down the path where the nationalists will be pitted against the NWO globalists in less than ideal conditions.
It would burn the Uniparty to the ground.
NEVER voluntarily.
It’s up to the states and the people to force it. It’s up to the states to nullify unconstitutional acts of the feds and the people to bring in those who are determined to take down 80% of the feds.
No, it would put a communist on the same ticket as Donald Trump. That would assiten.
If you’ll pardon my chutzpah; it’s Phenomenon. Singular. Because there is only one like The Donald.
Phenomena is the plural.
But regardless, you’re correct. He’s breaking all the molds, all the rules, all the old worn-out chestnuts.
When I first heard he was considering the debate, I was against it; thinking he had nothing to gain by it. But I see my error, and happily stand corrected.
“You’re either Trump or you should be. That is beautiful”
I have, however, been watching him for nearly 40 years, and especially a lot this year. I probably could write his speeches (the ones not on a 3” x 3” sticky paper, that is). I’m going to enjoy his Presidency a LOT, not just because of the good things that he’ll do, but because the above-mentioned morons and corrupt jackals will be screaming bloody murder the whole time.
Thanks for your thoughts...though now I don’t think that they’re going to be debating. Too bad, it would’ve been a lot of fun to watch.
