I thought we Bernie Bros were supposed to be the Trump fans here. But hey, there's no harm to Bernie from Trump's chickening out of a debate, just like Bernie isn't harmed by Hillary's chickening out of the promised CA debate. Trump and Hillary both seem to be afraid of debating Bernie...

anyone! Not Bernie. Not Hillary. He just is not. Those ridiculous 15 member insult fests are all the "debates" anyone is going to get from Trump. When are people going to wake up to the fraud that is being waged against them? He isn't gong to disclose any tax info, he will never debate one on one, and he is a total scam artist.

Or maybe not (he hasn't fared well there lately).

His campaign will be against Clinton, not Bernie.

get a call from DWS to encourage him not to debate Sanders,after all that would have looked really bad for Hillary..
No doubt she could have made some kind of deal with the RNC Chair.

... it's not funny anymore. He's says one thing one minute and the next day flip flops. Does anyone really know what this man is all about? No.

We're livin' in the twilight zone.

Hard to think what Trump could do to damage that. I don't think it would be damaged if he dressed up as Osama Bin Laden and took a dump on the American flag.

They'd probably just think he was being ironic.

But I understand the reasons he called it off.

He wants some Sanders supporters to support him in the GE because of his anti free trade agenda. Having Sanders berate him face to face is not a way to accomplish that.
