In the latest twist to this unpredictable 2016 presidential race, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders independently agreed Wednesday night to debate each other.
On ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Trump was asked if he would consider holding a debate with Sanders. Trump agreed to the idea.

"If he paid a sum toward charity I would love to do that," said the business mogul, noting that a Sanders vs. Trump debate "would have such high ratings."

Sanders quickly responded with a tweet reading, "Game On. I look forward to debating Donald Trump in California before the June 7th primary."

FIFY

At least with Bernie, we're more likely to hear a discussion of the topics at hand. Hillary's response on any topic would be little more than that awful cackling laugh.

I wonder if this isn't a Trump stunt. Have the debate right before California, declare Hillary wouldn't come to the debate, let her make the fool of herself on Twitter during the debate - and agree beforehand you won't make any wicked and vile below the belt comments about one another.

Make each OTHER look Presidential and serve one another's purpose. Trump may be trying to eliminate Hillary BEFORE the nomination with this stunt. And that portion of me that IS happy with the train wreck these two (Trump and Bernie) are causing is admittedly chuckling.

In 1980, Carter (the President remember..) refused to debate third-party option John Anderson or include him in any debate with Reagan. Anderson, for those who don't know, was a liberal Republican (yes, there used to be such a thing, a man with a stellar military record in WWII, a Harvard lawyer, and one helluva debater. Carter sounded like a spoiled child in refusing to debate Anderson while Reagan just getting into the scrap with Anderson and emerging unscathed was considered a 'win' for the Great Communicator (With A Script). (Btw - you can view that debate online at You Tube). Btw - Anderson's big push was a 50 cent a gallon tax combined with a 50% reduction in Social Security benefits in order to balance the budget....yes, this is what liberals used to do when some actually gave a damn about balanced budgets other than to blame the opposition for the deficit. Anderson's proposal addressed the dual concerns of energy depletion, a SS system running out of bounds (it would be 'fixed' by a bipartisan commission in 1983), and the budget deficit.


So this debate in this day and age has the POTENTIAL.......potential.........to shift the game a little bit. It enables Bernie to get in the shots about how 'Hillary is assuming a coronation' and he can let Trump attack her on the email thing and even get in his own shots about it by saying that 'the results of the investigation have caused me to have to change what I said earlier' and make it sound smart.

And she won't be able to say anything right there at the time (and anything she does say will only make it a bigger issue).

While I doubt it will change anything.........it has the potential to be a major game-changer, especially if they can both LOOK Presidential at the time. If Trump can put the adolescent hijinks down for a couple of hours, it really has some potential.

Brillaint move by the Trump camp....absolutely brilliant.

This can do nothing but help Trump......and hurt Shrilary....

I still think there's a chance Bernie could get the nomination but either way this debate damages Shrillary for sure.

The only person it would help is Bernie but unless Clinton is indicted he is out of it.

But most already know more than enough about Trump & Clinton already.

Trump has nothing to lose. Heck, making Comrade Bernie look good might cause some D super delegates to consider nominating someone other than Clinton. After all, the whole point of super delegates is to correct the people's "mistakes".

There's no such thing as "enough" in politics! Bernie will get publicity while Shrillary looks like she's content to sit it out because she's got it "in the bag". Voters won't like that....

That's right. Just ask Bill!

I doubt if Trump will debate Sanders. Even if $10-$15 million is raised for charity. The Donald will keep moving the bar.
