I literally saw this exact insult coming from a mile away. Although I thought it would be "I don't debate losers".

Trump is a shitheel and anyone who believes a word that comes out of his mouth is a fool.

Even on the smallest of matters he has to cycle through three positions in two days before (usually temporarily) settling on one.

He should have said, "I'm not debating a loser!" first.


So much for raising money for Women's Charities! I guess that wasn't important to him after all.

Trump was interested because of the possibility that Sanders would sling hash at Clinton and Trump would surely use those opportunities to pile on and attack Hillary. A 2 against 1 dynamic.

But what if Bernie didn't criticize Hillary, and he focused entirely on debating Trump?

Bernie could win the debate and make Trump look like an idiot.

And even if Trump won the debate, he would have beaten a man who will not be in the GE. What's the value in that?

The Trump thing was the last chance to keep their ship afloat.
