Bernie Sanders on Friday mocked Donald Trump after the presumptive GOP presidential nominee said he would not debate Sanders.
Well, I hope that he changes his mind again, Sanders told reporters. Mr. Trump has been known to change his mind many times in a day.
Sanders, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, called Trump a bully, adding, Well Mr. Trump, what are you afraid of?
Trump and Sanders set the political world on fire this week by hinting that they might face off in an unprecedented debate before the California primary on June 7.

(9,905 posts)Did you see the interview? He was asked a fucking question and he fucking answered it.
He called Trumps bluff and exposed him as the chicken shit he is.
Stop supporting Trump already!

(10,478 posts)The "I'll debate Bernie" was an off-the-cuff remark by Trump, and Bernie lapped it up out of sheer desperation. I was initially concerned and irked that Trump was going to accept anyways, as it would'ev been a grand opportunity to make Bernie look like a stooge.
You got duped, my dear Berniefan. Learn to move on.

(27,310 posts)So, let's see. Bernie fed the question to Trump via Kimmel.
Trump said yes.
Bernie said lets do it.
Trump says , Yikes. Just joking. (Because we all know that he is a stand up guy and would never tell a lie)
Trump says, Yes! And money for women (or something, because we all know how he supports the wimmin.)
Trump says. His handlers say, Are you fucking kidding? Sanders will expose you for the ass that your really are.
Trump says, Nope. And twitter mocks him unmercifully.
#ChickenTrump #DonaldDucked.

I think Trump is a moron and clearly was too stupid to know that he shouldn't have entertained debating a loser to begin with. I'm sure this was smarter king's horses and smarter king's men trying to get Trumpty Dumpty to walk away from this sideshow. Either way, Bernie still got punked for allowing himself to think this would actually happen. I'm not siding with Trump. I'm siding with the presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary. Bernie only wanted to do this to embarrass her and the DNC with his whining scorched earth crusade. I'm glad this debate won't happen. Neither Trump nor Hillary should debate him because he's the loser.

(10,478 posts)and seen that a debate when the election is already wrapped up serves no purpose.
2008 was much closer, and the last time Obama & Clinton debated was April 16th.

(20,582 posts)Trump has zero knowledge about much of anything - he just makes shit up as he goes along, imo. Reminds me of Palin - has heard and remembers a few talking points and thinks by adding a bunch of word salad to them he sounds intelligent. He'd have come across as dumber than a floor mop. Waaaay too risky.

You're right -- Trump snuck out the back because Sanders would have shredded him to bits.

He's a real chicken-*.

Apparently his supporters love that combination.

He ducked out the back, Jack.
