If Sanders vs Trump debate happens it'll be either really vicious, they just simply talking over each other, or Sanders going after Trump, but Trump mostly agreeing or ignoring him. Trump has very little reason of going after him because he already lost and he might want some of Bernie's supporters but I doubt that is a big deal. Although, Trump might go after Bernie simply because it won't mean much anyway.

Trump is out trotting a victory lap. What's he care how much he flies around now? It's not his money. Might as well waste the hell out of as much of it as possible. He carefully hides this as states that technically haven't voted yet, even if there's no actual reason to visit.

I expect this to become progressively more common as Trump realizes he has infinite money to work with/waste.

Someone asked me why anyone should actually care about a Sanders vs Trump debate since Sanders lost and Trump is Trump. I didn't have a non-ironic answer for them. It accomplishes absolutely nothing. If Democrats luck out Trump will look worse, but there are a ton of risks here. Think the DNC might push more of the remaining undeclared Supers remaining and tell them to support Clinton so she's technically over the number before the 7th? Would make the debate far less interesting to the general public. If he's literally lost why should they listen to a word he says?

I don't think the public cares about why they're debating or its implications. They're gonna watch because its Trump on TV with Bernie and who knows what the hell is going to happen.

Sigh. You're right. Even I'm in this group, though I'd watch out of horror. But a narrative of "you've literally lost, dude" from Clinton going in would look strong.

Things suddenly make a lot more sense if this was a plant from Sanders from the beginning.

Random add-on; Clinton trying to bait Trump on his tax returns is going to be so much fun and she should repeat this every single day.

I can see Trump going for the kill rather than playing things more strategically. It's a 2 man debate (Trump's first?), and his ego needs the win.

He might throw him a few backhanded compliments in a "better than Hillary" kind of way.

Its still too late for Bernie to pull out the nomination, even if he performs well. If Bernie flounders, Democrat support will coalesce behind Clinton. If he does well against Trump, then weakening Trump helps her when she inevitably has the nom. Plus Clinton gets to see where Trump attacks Bernie's platform which is generally similar to hers.

"It's a fallacy that Hillary Clinton is the lesser evil here. Another Clinton in the White House is just going to fan the flames of the right-wing revolt," she says.

Jill Stein's privileged butt would be the least affected compared to many under a Trump presidency. She's so delusional and one note.

Michael Briggs, a Sanders spokesman, said that Kimmel allowed the Sanders campaign to submit a question to Trump to be asked during the taping -- so they asked about a potential debate.

Wait, so this whole thing started from the Sanders camp?

Portland being #1 for fitness doesn't strike me as ringing true either way.

Also why is the Sanders v Trump debate thread still rolling along when it basically caught a flat tire the next morning.

Trump having control of the Armed Forces & Diplomacy is even more terrifying than Supreme Court packing.

Even though, Supreme Court packing is also terrifying.

Edit: The Twitter comments to Clinton's tweet are youtube comment quality.

Because some people are still upset that Trump won the GOP nom. Now is the time to set aside differences and for the GOP to all-in, stand behind its candidate.

I'd argue it's time for the rational members of the party to NOT do so and refuse to support racism and misogyny, actually.

Anyone with a modicum of self-respect and ethics should absolutely not rally behind Trump.

Trump may have called Rubio "boy" essentially over and over again, but barely veiled racial slurs against you are no reason not to support a candidate to lead the nation.

Unfortunately I'm fairly sure Mississippi families actually are more concerned about lawsuits over restrooms than any of those other things.

I got to admit Bernie's campaign literally planting this question in the interview was brilliant.

They knew Trump would just agree to it expecting nothing to come of it.

then again I'm not one to be picky rofl

Yes... But I'm neither hot nor attractive. I'm currently in a facial hair fetish phase doe. If he was like 20 pounds heavier I'd be going to his STD clinic daily.

That sounds better in my head

Mark Cuban "Wide Open" to Discussing VP Spot With Clinton and Trump - ABC News -

"Hey, this is Mark I was just in the shower and I thought I heard the phone ring so I was just calling to see if you had called"

"Mark again, but there might be something wrong with my phone. DeAndre said something about this. Maybe best to help me with the text"

This is not news. The media desperately needs to quit enabling attention whores like Mark Cuban and Donald Trump and gleefully diving into every bullshit piece of meaningless drivel that comes out of their mouths. Media's so eager to be led around by the nose.

I am so sick of the media going crazy over Cuban teasing a VP position every three days. Both he and the media know it isn't happening but they let him attention whore for free press anyway.
