I see Sanders is determined to throw away any good will he had amassed during his campaign.
Being relegated to sparring partner of the Donald on Fox News is especially galling.

Hillary made a strategic error refusing the Cali debate, she could've made a plea for unity from Bernie backers and use the airtime to attack Trump. Instead she went back on her word further feeding the narrative she's untrustworthy and now Trump is exploiting this to make her look weak.

Am I wrong for thinking this is a sh**tty move?

Really depends on how Sanders approaches it.

Let's say that TRUMP starts ranting against "crooked Hillary". What's Sanders response?
He either disagrees and looks like a hypocrite or agrees and looks like an asshole and a sore loser.

So he is a hypocrite since his entire campaign was based on the fact that Clinton is in the pocket of Wall Street and other special interests.

I think it makes sense to not waste time on debates at a point when the race is over. Sanders should have dropped out by now, that he insists on still staying in isn't a reason for Clinton to humor his nonsense.

Yeah, it's not like Clinton did the same thing by refusing to drop out until June back in 2008.

And a debate didn't happen back then either.
Thanks for reminding us.

Hahahaha!!! The senile old fart from Vermont was fooled again.
What an embarrassment. Imagine him running in the general.

Multiple sources tell @Cbsnews that Trump was kidding about debating Sanders & it will never happen.

Meanwhile, #BernieTrumpDebate was trending at the top on Twitter for a few hours this morning and all the major news networks are fighting for the rights to broadcast it.

I'm sure they do. It's hard these days to find a good comedy.

Sanders hasn't raised a dime for the Democratic party and now he'll raise 5-10 millions just to have the chance to debate TRUMP?
Yeah, sure...

So, Clinton said she didn't believe it was going to happen yesterday. Does she get credit for being right?

Of course not. If anything the dead-enders will accuse her of conspiring with her buddy the Donald to make Sanders look bad.

BTW, LOL at Trump's statement which is hilariously overwrought even by his standards.
McCain's statement where he said after Obama clinched that he was anointed the Democratic nominee by TV pundits and superdelegates seems restrained.

Wow, so now both Trump and Hillary have reneged on promises to have a California debate with Bernie.

Trump suckered Sanders with no remorse here. The last shred of Sanders' dignity is destroyed and the only way he gets it back is to drop out and forcefully support Hillary on or very soon after June 7

Bernie shouldn't support either of these renegers.

Hi jfern. Is Jane Sanders still looking for those tax returns?
