First time this year anybody's been able to do that.

(1,166 posts)what is at stake is important enough for Trump to agree to take a hit to what he sees as his "brand" (himself). Still thinking about he and Bill Clinton being long-time associates, the goals of Wall Street with regard to the election, and so forth. Trump's ego needs the perception to be that he, and he alone, calls the shots in his campaign. I'm pretty certain that this is not the case.

(7,769 posts)Truer words about Trump have yet to be spoken in this whole election.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders called Republican frontrunner Donald Trump a "pathological liar" today on ABC's "This Week," saying "much of what he says are lies or gross distortions of reality."
"I say this straight-forwardly, I think you have a pathological liar there," he said.

(744 posts)But at least Trumpty Dumpty can say he was only contemplating it for charity. Sanders looks like he was desperately trying to scorch the earth of the Democratic Party and the electoral process. I don't say much that's positive about that orange idiot, but I do credit him with having the good sense not to add this low-brow episode to his carnival barking reality show.

(23,272 posts)I don't think Trump will debate again no matter who is the Dem candidate. Its his worst forum.

(6,604 posts)to risk a Trump presidency to test that theory out.
Even the Clinton campaign proper isn't that weak-minded, but it sure as hell comes close. The next week or so will tell for sure.

It happened in 1968.
It happened in 1972.
It happened in 1980.
It happened in 1984.
It happened in 1988.
It happened in 1994 AND 1998.
(ANY Dem would have beaten Bush the first in '92 and "Bob Dole Bob Dole" in '96).
It happened in 2000.
It happened in 2004.
We only won in 2008 because it looked like the party had moved past that.
It happened in 2010 and 2014(we only won in 2012 because it looked like Obama was listening to Occupy).
Why do they REFUSE to listen? Why do they REFUSE to change?
