Trump backs out of debate against Sanders after tech company offers to pay for it

Donald Trump reneged on his intention to debate Sen. Bernie Sanders on Friday in a brief statement on his website.

“Based on the fact that the Democratic nominating process is totally rigged and Crooked Hillary Clinton and Deborah Wasserman Schultz will not allow Bernie Sanders to win, and now that I am the presumptive Republican nominee, it seems inappropriate that I would debate the second place finisher,” the statement read.

The statement came to light shortly after Traction and Scale CEO Richie Hecker volunteered to offer the $10 million the GOP nominee had wanted to be donated to charity as a condition of debating Sanders.

“The networks want to make a killing on these events and are not proving to be too generous to charitable causes, in this case, women’s health issues,” Trump said in his statement. “Therefore, as much as I want to debate Bernie Sanders — and it would be an easy payday — I will wait to debate the first place finisher in the Democratic Party, probably Crooked Hillary Clinton, or whoever it may be.”


The prospect of a debate between the senator and the real estate magnate came about following Trump’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this week, when Trump expressed willingness to engage with Sanders, who currently trails Clinton for the

Trump had nothing to gain & a lot to lose by debating Bernie. Plus his supports & Bernies supporters in the same stadium would be like a soccer match with 2 sets of fans, fights everywhere. Would've been the most interesting thing in American politics in quite awhile, ratings would've rivaled the Super Bowl or Mayweather/Pacquioa

then he shouldn't have made the public offer/challenge to do the debate. 

That kind of erratic/unpredictable shift in promises is not something you want from a President.

His ego is too big to have said no on the spot even though I don't think he had any intention of debating him from the start. Every politician says one thing & does the opposite at some point. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending or supporting Trump.  It's scary he's made it this far & scarier that he has a very real chance of being president. Most ppl don't seem to care about his many flaws, shows how gullible ppl are.

imagine him doing this on the world stage, like he's doing on the national stage.

He responds impulsively without thinking thru the ramifications.   He does this all the time.  He does it weekly on the national state, he does it on twitter against other world leaders.  What a train wreck he'll be as president.  Nobody here can defend him on thi.s

donald trump is the greatest , he uses the best-est words and is above reproach..

[liberalismo]

Why did the chicken cross the road?



To avoid debating Bernie Sanders.

That was a lame move on trumps part. Really lame. He shouldnt have said he would be willing to do it in the first place if he wasn't.  Now he looks like a total douche, especially since 10 million could have gone to a good charity. Not impressed.

10 million for a women's charity, for 2 hours of his time.   Massive win there.

Trump is a YES man, trying to please every audience.   You have to be able to tell people NO as president.  He keeps telling us how good he is at making deals... but so far, he's been ineffective at best, and inept at worst.

Absolutely!
But I'm beginning to think that 240 is a paid shill to bash every move Trump makes. Who's paying you to do this 240?

[mazrim]

There is no point. He is right.

Bernie looks like he's 100 years old and he speaks like he's mentally retarded.  He can't even beat that lying, incompetent, unlikable, kunty gangster Hillary Clinton.

Bernie and his supporters need to pack themselves into buses and then drive off a cliff.

The point here is that twump was willing to "swing down" and debate this out-of-it socialist senior, someone he called a crazy commie, for a price of $10 million.

When actually given an offer "Here's ten million to make it happen", he backs down. 

He bluffed an offer he had no intention of following through on - and it's a lot like his plans to eliminate the 19 trillion debt in 8 years, build a monster wall, deport 11 million people - - - All are unrealistic promises meant to appease voters.

He's being paid in supplements just like Goodrum. Check out Trump Pump Pre-Workout Powder with 750mg of caffeine per serving. Rumor has it that Bernie Sanders takes two scoops before every speech.

The point here is who gives a shit.

I don't know the circumstances about him "agreeing" to do it in the first place.  Who brought it up, how serious was he, etc.  It's like if a bunch of hostile feminists ask me if I would ever date an ugly woman.  I might say "sure" just to placate them, not ever intending to actually do it. "Sure" isn't a promise, it's something you say so people will fuck off because it's not a good use of you time to argue with them.

trump is a pussy bitch with small hands

Bernie should come out wearing boxing gloves and talking mad shit with Rocky music playing.  "U can't duck me forever, Donald Duck!  I am the greatest!"

Smart move. He'd get destroyed. Needs to keep working the morons who are willing to suspend disbelief until the big show.

Tell him to beat Hillary first.

That's like me calling out Floyd Mayweather.  "Why you duckin' me Floyd?"  Derp.

Sanders is a senile old communist twat.  Him and his people need to let it go.  It's over.

He's losing because he's boring.  American Democracy consists of pointing to what's happening in one of the circus rings.  Fireworks and dancing girls are what clinch an election.

Boring and a scold. People hate being told what to do. I can`t remember when an election had two people more disliked. Probably have to go back to 1836, or something.

It's actually funny when you think about it, he throws out a challenge to an underling, underling accepts and Trump brushes him off, "not going to debate the second place guy" LOL!

Wonder if your supporters knew about your affinity for animals before they voted for you? Or maybe that's why you're no longer an elected official?
