Is Bernie really so aggrieved that he's now willing to explicitly campaign on Trump's behalf?

Is Bernie really so aggrieved by losing the Democratic nomination that he's now willing to explicitly campaign on Trump's behalf?

Donald Trump says he'd be delighted to debate Bernie Sanders:
This is just sad. Trump is the master of modern publicity, and he knows perfectly well that a debate like this would (a) help Trump and (b) hurt Hillary. That's it. That's all it would do. And Bernie is all in.

Is Bernie really so aggrieved by losing the Democratic nomination that he's now willing to explicitly campaign on Trump's behalf? Because that's all this is. What happened to the old Bernie Sanders?

Don't know if this publicity stunt will take place, but the fact that Sanders is willing to do it says it all. He duped the Democratic Party and the Berners.

silly stunt it so clearly is?

Trump was a reality show star, for Pete's sake. This is more staged than Patrick Stewart doing A Christmas Carol.

and he's already getting 20% of them. A google search reveals lots of articles about Trump reaching out to Bernie voters.

If Bernie had any problem with helping Trump he wouldn't have accepted the invitation.

I expect that both of them would share their protectionist philosophy and bash Hillary. More Bernie voters would wind up with Trump.

Earlier today, a Trump campaign staffer claimed it was "a joke." Now, the NYT says it may be on, per Trump spokesman Michael Briggs, who said it was "real." So who knows? Fox has jumped in, too, of course, anxious to host the debate.

You can't make this shit up.
