Sanders has nothing to win. His run is over. Stop ignoring reality, or otherwise people should simply ignore you. She is for all intents and purposes the democrat nominee. This momentum talk is absolute crap. And yes, any sane person would want to avoid a pointless debate in the interest of preserving image. Who gives a shit if it's "chickening" out to you? It's the smart thing to do. She doesn't waste her time with someone whose run is over, and she doesn't further perpetuate the divide in the party many supporters are clamoring for. Her focus should be on the GE. It would be foolish otherwise.

You're an awful poster dude. I can't tell if half of what you say is some hardcore next level satire or if you're seriously this out of touch.

Lets hope they take it. I'd rather it be on some youtube channel than national TV with millions and millions watching.
Can't say I see the value of this debate happening. I'm sure that Bernie would be wanting to debate in earnest, but Trump is just trying to attack Hillary more by using Bernie as a proxy.
I'd like to believe that Bernie wouldn't let that happen, but I don't like the sound of this event at all.

Perhaps to those ignorant of their overall policies and views. All they really have in common is protectionism and being anti-establishment.
But you sure don't care about that. Bernie would never join a racist 1%er.

Only if your a white dude. I'd be pretty shit for every other demographic in this county. Not that I think Bernie cares about at this point.

Maybe not bernie, but trump has employed people from every other demographic in the past #fact

Because, you know, discrimination based on protected classes is against the law.
Are you a Trump supporter or a Sanders supporter? Now you've confused me. Or are you a Bernie > Trump supporter?

Bernie has used strong language against Hillary in suggesting she is a weak candidate and in collusion with the DNC.
Bernie has used much stronger language against Trump constantly referring to him as a phony, a pathological liar, a billionaire who changes his mind everyday, a bigoted demagogue.
He hasn't gone out of his way to give any level of support for Hillary, but he has said numerous times that he will work to keep Trump out of the White House no matter what happens.
The idea that he is going to tag team Hillary with Trump for two hours is comical.

These people are at odds with one another in nearly every social issue about human compassion and acceptance.
What the fuck?

No just unlike you I'm not too wrapped up in the cult of Sanders to see how far gone Bernie is.

You know that Hilary is a year younger than Trump, right?
People who are anti-establishment for the sake of being anti-establishment have no strong beliefs of their own. You get such ignorant posts as a result. Bernie may be pretty damn grumpy and stubborn lately, but Trump is a narcissistic, vile, and disgusting POS.

He hasn't changed at all and if you knew a thing about him or weren't as far up Clinton's ass as you seem to be, you'd see that. He said he'd be in until the convention and he's still in the race. Dude didn't expect to win. He wanted to be a message candidate. He's pretty much reverted back to that since he clearly knows his chances are gone shy of the miraculous.

You know why.
And Bernie is an idiot. Isn't this A Fox News debate? They'll eviscerate any left wing candidate, especially one as easy to set off as Bernie. I'm honestly expecting another Castro style screw-up if he goes through with it.

yep
not to mention that during the debates both hillary and bernie would note, numerous times, that they mostly agree and have a great deal of respect for one another
this would never happen in a trump debate and bernie would probably clown trump pretty hard if he said some dumb shit

I'm confused by the "perfect ticket" comments and the early post about watching a debate between the two people that person would vote for president.
The two are nothing alike. Doesn't make sense. Have folks equated the two? Ted Cruz and Trump are more alike. If one likes Bernie, would seem logical they would gravitate to the next liberal candidate that could win rather than a hyper conservative.
I'm confused..

Oh please. Now Bernie is this evil villain sabotaging the entire country? Tumbling backwards for 20 years?
Maybe you need a break.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Hillary really set this one up for Trump by refusing her last scheduled debate.
How do you expect Trump to "eviscerate" Bernie?

omg please happen, maybe this can be the deathblow to these idiots as everyone can see them flail around on a national stage
I can understand anti-establishment because one can perhaps reason we are still being led by the least among us, to paraphrase Terence Mckenna.
But at least have a consistent view of values you hold over the status quo. Burning a house down for the sake of seeing flames doesn't put a new foundation where the ashes lie.
I refer you to every other debate he's been in and won... which is all of them.
He made Jeb, Marco and Ted look like idiots, he'd easily, easily pick apart Bernie.

Some people only care about "anti establishment" over policy. Some people like trolling. Some people haven't been paying attention. Some people care about being anti free trade above all else. Some people don't like women. Those groups would all agree a Trump/Bernie ticket.

Trump is the most liberal Republican.
Bernie is the most liberal Democrat.

Just like the fox dem town hall right?
Come on. Don't you think that sounds a little too obvious? It's more likely that we'll see the two shitting on Clinton than the whole room shitting on Sanders. Fox news (like CNN) really wants to try to feel 'fair and balanced' if they clearly aren't.
It's very likely not going to be a one-sided debate.
ummm, wat? are you comparing bernie to jeb, rubio, and cruz? because.....no really, WAT?

Why, because he's lying about what he says so you can trust him?
Would GAF explode if the sun exploded and melted earth in a supernova? Yes, it would!
That ticket makes no sense. They're basically as far as political opposites as is possible in our political system, and Trump's base and Conservative holdouts would have a complete meltdown if he tried to form a ticket with a socialist.

National? TYT only has like 2.5 million subscribers. National TV would have been 20+.
I'm going to need you to clarify that statement
I'm showing how Trump beat three different people with ease and can do so again with Bernie.
That's if he doesn't decide to play nice and act centrist like he did in that one debate.
BotoxAgent

I think this debate could be a good experiment to see how Democrats attack Trump. If Bernie is not effective, then Democrats will take note.
Indeed, it doesn't make sense and never will.
My hope is Bernie remains cool and hurts Trump in the process.

yea but did you counter in the revolution points into the final count!????
I honestly don't think Trump actually IS anything. He mimics whatever is needed to get the most views and support, but I'm honestly not sure if Trump believes in anything other than his own image.
He's a Trumpublican.

TYT would be such bad hosts. Also is this a fan fiction from r/bernieforpresident? I don't see the need to give Jill or Gary a platform.
For real. They can't even debate properly on their own show

Replace Trump with Hillary and you're onto something.
