Trump debating Sanders without Hillary being there makes her look bad for not showing up
It undermines her as the presumptive nominee
Trump thinks he can win over Sanders supporters
He can shittalk Hillary without her being there to defend herself
He can "win" another debate
All press is good press
Huge ratings

Yeah ...that's true.

I suppose even if goes in hard on Sanders, it does undermine Hillary regardless.
 
I'm no longer annoyed at Bernie now. I'm not actually and actively pissed off at him. He's going to try and insure the democrats lose the GE as punishment to the voters not accepting his shitty socialist revolution.


Fuck you Sanders and anyone that still stands with you after all this.
 
Hillary should have bit the bullet and done the last debate.

it sucks but its been pretty clear he's a lose canon and will do whatever. You just have to walk on eggshells around him and run out the clock.
 
Maybe Trump will just go nuclear on Sanders and we can get that glimpse into how Sanders would defend all his crazy backstory.


Oh who am I kidding they'll just take turns shitting on Clinton.

Sanders is becoming as much a media joke as Trump is. He's literally mirror Trump

I can not believe Sanders wants to debate trump. It is a dumb idea,but I do not think it will hurt the Dems GE chances to much. Also,the debate if it happens could potentially help Hilary by providing another example of Trump's debating style depending on what happens during the debate unless they both bash Clinton. The DNC will probably not want this debate to happen anyway.

I'll pray for you.

Watch out Oblivion, I'm coming for you!

Seriously though, hope you're safe.

*Also being in the Commonwealth fuck Tom Brady. Hard.

Thanks, peeps. Good news is I got out of there without a scratch. I felt I was already provoking Trumpeters enough with the whole not being White thing, so I thought it would be wise to not push my luck.

He did send the tweet 2 hours ago. Not to be ageist, but that's gotta be close to his bedtime. Probably Drunk Weaver tweeting. He'll have to pitch this to Bernie in the morning.
 
Perhaps Bernie and Trump get to debate with a briefcase full of money suspended over them. First to get the briefcase gets to give the money to their charity

Only if it's in increments of $27.

The charity is "The Luxurious Donald J. Trump Election Fund"

So luxurious. Such winning.

Also, why did I go into that thread? Ugh. I NEED MORE ALCOHOL. Or I need another episode of the Great British Sewing Bee. Something.

Someone suggested that Hillary "participate" in the debate.. by giving it the MST3k treatment. I'd be allllll about that, especially if she had one or two comedians with her in the theater.
 
So question would it be wrong of me to accuse Politico of diet sexism by choosing this picture

That's a fan-favorite match every year!
Then you go and cash in the Presidency at Wrestlemania!
...These were the first pictures I found. Sorry. Although the Republican primary this year was a million times better than wrasslin' could ever hope to be.

Sanders will implode against Trump because he is shit at debating and has too many points he can be attacked on by a Republican, which is nice because we will get to see Clinton in comparison when she gets the nominee.

She still wins even if he wins by that margin. She will cross the required number in NJ.

I don't like to be rude to them which is why I try to be as nice as possible when I do venture in threads or hell even other sites. I think being nice works because if they're defensive even then they're a lost cause.

My concern is if Bernie does debate Trump will he hurt himself thus potentially dulling his hopeful endorsement and support of Hillary.
 
If this debate does have a high chance of happening...should Hillary join is what I'm wondering. Probably not possible.

Absolutely not.

If he's serious with going through with this dealing with him is over.

The DNC will throw the book at him and probably bar him from the convention.

I'd actually expect an Obama/Biden endorsement too if this goes through.

I'm expecting that too, and yeah, it's definitely for the best she doesn't go. I'll be shocked if she does somehow.

Ugh, Bernie is literally making me worry about my future here.

Dammnit man, get yourself together!! I'm diablosing!😞😠
 
Imagine if Hillary had tried to debate McCain before the 08 convention.

lol

I can't even imagine. Like that is said a lot. But I literally don't even think I am capable of conceiving the outrage she would have generated
 
I mean this is in response to a random late night question while everyone is sleeping (I only saw it cause I randomly woke up at 3am and was looking at Facebook. The DNC and the party will be on the phone or already is. The tweet was sent at like 11pm west coast time. I'd wouldn't even be surprised of the leadership didn't approve it. Though I'd figured it'd be deleted by now

I think if the Jesus comes back from the dead level of miracle that would be a 90-10 Sanders win, Sanders would actually pass Clinton in pledged delegates and thus the supers would, if they don't want to ironically do exactly what Sanders is asking them to do right now, switch over and top him off for the nomination.


Fuck could you imagine if the Supers didn't switch? LOL Sanders would lookj like such a fool getting mad given his rhetoric recently about supers.

I don't think Hillary should participate. She has absolutely nothing to gain from publicly getting attacked on two fronts, when the Democrat nomination process technically still isn't over.

Let Sanders do his thing, and hopefully land a few blows on Trump while reminding Bernie Bros that if they give anything more than a passing fuck about Sanders' positions then even considering voting for trump = lunacy.
 
Maybe benji can fill us in but have there been any presidential debates that took place out of the two usual ones in the fall? Or just anything like this in general.

Think of it this way. One of three things would be likely to happen: 1) Bernie tears Trump a new asshole [I think this is most likely given his ideological revulsion towards Trump and the Trumps of the world] 2) Trump tears Bernie a new asshole (possible, given the amount of material available, and Trump's willingness to fight) and 3) Both of them sort of muddle through.

In case 1, Trump looks bad and Bernie looks good, but it doesn't really matter because Bernie winning requires a miracle at this point.

In case 2, Trump has just savaged Bernie, Saint of Birdies, ensuring the cult of Bernie either stays home or works against him.

In case 3, nothing much happens, and nothing much changes.

Will they tee off on Clinton? Some, I'm sure. But it'll be the same stuff that already hasn't worked well, and it will give an insanely bad impression -- two old men spending their debate slagging off a woman candidate. It'll drive more women voters toward Hillary, including possibly some of the young ones she's lost to Sanders. Nothing either of them says is going to have a profound effect on the base, and the idea that Trump will somehow soften his positions enough to be acceptable to people who want to burn down Wall Street is just silly.
