Jane Sanders challenges Bill Clinton to debate

What do you think?

It would be unprecedented, create a lot of interest and a real counterpoint to the Trump circus. Show the Democratic candidates as more rounded and whole people by showing the passion and synchronicity they have with their spouses.

Both spouses have campaigned and both are excellent speakers. It would flip the gender dynamic for one debate.

Could be a Townhall.

Who would debate Bill Clinton with his encyclopedic knowledge of world affairs. He delves deeper than most when explaining his positions. I am sure Jane Sanders is versed in issues but nothing compared to Clinton.

The more you look at his past and his shady connections including that guy forget his name under investigation for having sex slaves and the fact Bill is a known sexual predator himself makes him a very difficult person to look at or listen to. But, for some reason people still find him lovable. But, I think if he had to debate Jane it would open people's eyes some and they might see he isn't really all that nice. I wouldn't watch his part in a Town Hall anyway I think that is an advantage over having a debate.

9. Upon further thought, IMO let's not turn this election into even MORE of a circus - and that's what

...this would become. Media would eat it up, and Trump would have a heyday with it.
