Trump v. Bernie Debate

Dude, if I was a Sanders voter on the fence between Hillary and Trump I'd hope most Clinton supporters wouldn't have your attitude because it would be absolutely off-putting.

You can argue that Hillary is the better candidate while still acknowledging the strengths and weaknesses of both, or you can live in a bubble.
Sorry but after six months of trying to play nice with Bernie or Bust assholes I'm done with the pleasantries.

I voted for Bernie in the MN caucus btw. I'm just really annoyed at seeing bullshit spread around by Hillary haters. She's definitely got flaws as a candidate but "lololol she said she likes hot sauce what a pandering liar!" is a whole other level of stupid.

Just the fact that Trump has no real accomplishments, no political history, lack of policy, and flip-flopping on issues but has made it this far should tell you something about his charisma.

Aaron Strife is one of the nicest Hillary Clinton supporters here.
 
My hate for Trump is so strong, I'd vote for her over him. Sure, Bernie seems like the better choice, but he just doesn't have the votes as she does.
 
Taking such a nothing statement like "I always carry a bottle of hot sauce in my purse" and instantly assuming dishonesty is borderline conspiratorial. It's ridiculous. No other politician receives this level of scrutiny from so many people.

Oh but she's awkward so it's ok.

There's a difference between pandering and lying. You really don't see that, due to the venue, the hot sauce comment could have been seen as pandering? Come on, man, you're not being genuine here. On Black Twitter it was widely seen as pandering. It's not just me, or posters here.

If he's so charismatic why are his favorable ratings even lower than Clinton's?

Because he's polarizing? These aren't mutually-exclusive.
 
Stupid analogy. Ted Cruz was completely and factually (actually factually this time) mathematically eliminated long ago.

I'd be really happy if every one voting for Clinton had your confidence, though.

Trump didn't secure the delegate majority until he won Washington on Tuesday.

It was never a thing guys, just let it go.
 
Good. A Trump/Sanders debate would've undermined the actual nominee and further torn Democrats apart when they should be looking towards unification and drafting a party platform that pleases all wings of the party.

Donald Trump on Friday said it would be “inappropriate” to hold a debate with Bernie Sanders, throwing cold water on an idea that had captivated the political world.

"As much as I want to debate Bernie Sanders — and it would be an easy payday — I will wait to debate the first place finisher in the Democratic Party, probably Crooked Hillary Clinton, or whoever it may be," Trump said in a statement.

The presumptive GOP presidential nominee added that it "seems inappropriate" to debate the "second place finisher."
 
And Hillary's not very good at joking.

Honestly. Whenever she tries to be funny (impersonating Trump) it just doesn't work out. Obama's takedowns of Trump on the other hand are hilarious.

I dunno, man, I thought it was pretty funny. Is it possible that you already dislike Hillary and so you're predisposed to find her jokes flat and her personality inauthentic?
 
I cant wait to see Trump take the stand after the election for frauding students at his scam of a school.

The salt that week will be glorious to see.

Absolutely. This is the best outcome.
 
He still gets media attention even if he doesn't do it, but this could still be a negotiating tactic. Now you'll see how much it's really worth to the networks to get the rights to televise this. He still has an out - "I really want to do this..BUT..."

I still can't believe Bernie bit the hook Trump threw out.

Bernie's the one who offered in the first place.
 
The Sanders campaign played a smart hand by challenging Trumps ego. They had nothing to lose because the race is over, but make no mistake, it was pure desperation for attention in the vein of Cruz picking a VP.
 
i feel like the best thing the Hillary side could do now is to use this as a way to attack Trump and paint him as a coward. may even get some Bernie supporters on board early!

it'd certainly be a step up from trying to get "wacko Donald" over

That's an awful idea. Hillary (rightfully IMO) isn't doing the last debate with Bernie, you don't then go and attack someone as a coward for doing exactly what you did.
 
Man, Trump's climate change talk today really makes me mad. He really is a huge danger for the world. One of the reasons I'm so interested in this election as a Canadian.
 
Honestly if I were ever going to vote for Trump it would end up being because of a portion of the people who support Hilliary. The condescending arrogance that comes from many of them does nothing positive for her in my view.

I don't like any of the clowns trying to run this circus though.

I agree with you. There is the small difference that she declined it, while he publicly accepted multiple times and then backed out, but it's still a difficult sell and seems hypocritical no matter how you spin it.
