Discussion: Trump And Sanders Say They're Game For A One-On-One Debate

Let me guess…neither one of them are going to utter a peep about tax returns…

When will our incompetent senior Democrats rise up and say “ENOUGH, Senator Sanders!”

This debate, should it happen, will have one big loser – Secretary Clinton. Our party leaders know this and they sit and do nothing.

They must speak out! Now!

IF.

“If he paid a sum toward charity I would love to do that,” the billionaire said.

Like you did (almost not!)? Why are you demanding Sanders pay “a sum toward charity” as a condition of debating you?

Also: Bernie, if you follow through with this, debating Trump one-on-one and you NOT being the Democratic nominee, you will be showing your bare ass, dude. If you do, I hope they bar you from attending the Democratic Convention next month. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you, man? Check your damned ego, Bernie – it’s gotten out of control.

Sanders is not the nominee, and he needs to give this kind of stunt up.

Imagine the screaming of presumptuousness and Her Royal Highness and other stupid accusations from the Sanders camp if Clinton said this before securing the nomination completely.

OK - Game on!!!

Bernie will sweep the floor against Trump. It doesn’t matter if Clinton won’t debate him - Bernie will show the people who Trump really is - and once Clinton is the official nominee Trump and Clinton will debate - but hopefully Bernie will do a LOT of damage exposing Trump for who he is.

You’re talking about two kinds of angry bullies…on stage and off. Who knows what could happen?

Though I agree with you–Bernie totally deserves to be brought down a couple of pegs publicly–I believe the reason(s) this has not happened … yet … is top Dem leaders are doing their best not to give those sorta-kinda on-the-fence folks (between Sanders and Clinton) any reasons to develop misplaced or misguided sympathy for Sanders (who would just eat it up and play it for all it’s worth).

If he keeps ramping this up, though, I would welcome a few top, respected Dem leaders (President Obama?) to rightfully scold Sanders in a highly publicized way. It has to be done just right, though … optics.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. This wouldn’t accomplish anything anyway because you already tout that you “do better in the polls against, Trump.” Your die-hards are already convinced of it… No one is going to change their mind suddenly to vote for you, Senator Sanders because you debated Donald Trump. In fact, I think your antics as of late have really soured people against you. GO HOME BERNIE, YOU’RE DRUNK.

At this point, Sanders is a small fish to Trump.

You know they cannot do that.

Is this politics as theater?? The clash of egos?? I’d like to view this when/if it happens. Neither of these guys are concerned about how ridiculous the proposal is. I just don’t get Bernie any more.

Sanders is really desperate for some free air time in California.

Okay, but I’m not looking forward to the Sanders and Trump / Gandalf and Saruman mashup memes.

it always has been…even during the Roman empire days. Chances are they will try to model this as a 21c Lincoln/Douglass debate.

Game on. I look forward to debating Donald Trump in California before the June 7 primary.

Nor will the media ask them since it does not involve bashing Clinton. That is all this debate is about.

Its the dog and pony show.

Dumb and dumber.

Notice Teflon Don said it will get high ratings. It’s all theater to him, another performance.

Don’t look for substance folks, just a sound bite ‘debate’.

Get the popcorn
