...to undermine your Democratic opponent.

He should be hitting himself for ever thinking it was really going to happen.
from Politico:
Bernie Sanders criticized Donald Trump on Sunday for backing out of a debate the White House hopefuls had once committed to while issuing a warning about the presumptive Republican nominees habit of backpedaling.
Look, Donald Trump said he wanted to go forward, then he changed his mind, said no, then he changed his mind and said yes, then he changed his mind and said no. Maybe we'll get a call in five minutes and he'll say yes again, Sanders said on CBS Face the Nation. I think that is who Donald Trump is, and I think the American people should be very concerned about somebody who keeps changing his mind not only on this debate, but on virtually every issue he's been asked about.
...what part of Trump is an inveterate liar didn't you understand? Lol at you trying to make like you get it now.

I'm sure if your Hillary didn't want the picture posted she wouldn't have allowed it to be taken.

(8,133 posts)Every once in a while, someone claims that because of a candidates supporters here they won't vote for Clinton or Sanders. It's downright silliness. If that is really the case, you need to think about if you are capable of making a rational decision.

(7,723 posts)Maybe Bernie wanted to fucking take on Trump, especially since he may not get a chance in the GE.
Why do Hillary supporters always assume it is all about her? Paranoia?
bigtree
(86,005 posts)...he's losing badly and this was his hail-mary.
Lol at Sanders and his supporters trying to make it something noble. It was another backstabbing ploy in his epic pout over losing to show us just how wrong we were about his progressive prowess. He just ended up looking like a sore loser and a fool.

(50,414 posts)Why did Hillary chicken out of a debate with the other Democratic candidate? If nominated, will she chicken out of debates with Trump? Will he chicken out of debates with her?
bigtree
(86,005 posts)...for whatever reason.
Reminds me of his DU camp.
Tierra_y_Libertad
(50,414 posts)Aren't you trying to "damage" him politically? I don't see any cries from the Hillary camp demanding that we should "Vote for Bernie".
bigtree
(86,005 posts)...and he knows Hillary almost assuredly is.
All things are not equal in this equation.

It's a Trump vs Sanders debate we're discussing after all, isn't it?

And by "exchange ideas with," I mean, "make him look like an asshole."
bigtree
(86,005 posts)...how about actually earning that role, instead of just opportunistically assuming it?
