Trump to Sanders: Sorry, I don't debate people who don't win
It’s Not Happening. Donald Trump released a statement saying it would be “inappropriate” to debate “second-place finisher” Bernie Sanders, just a few minutes after the Sanders campaign said it was “prepared to accept” a proposal from a television network to host the debate. Trump had initially agreed to the non-traditional debate Sanders suggested on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday, saying he would participate if it raised at least $10 million for charity.
Democratic Senators are unloading on Bernie Sanders for a courting a debate with Donald Trump.
Politico rounded up some reactions to Senate Democrats over the Sanders vs. Trump debate dance:
“Bullshit,” said Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia. “That confirms what we’ve been saying. Why would you expect Bernie should be considerate or be nice or be working to bring everyone together? Why? He’s not a Democrat.”
The party’s frustrations are boiling over with Sanders as the primary season winds down: Namely that Sanders seems unwilling or unable to admit that Hillary Clinton is on course for the nomination. The ire toward Sanders began earlier this year among the loudest Democratic cheerleaders for Clinton — and now it’s seeping into nearly the entire Senate Democratic caucus.
….
“I don’t know why he would do that. I think it’s time to start to winding down the primary,” said Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.). “It’s time to move on.”
“It’s peculiar,” said Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio). “It’s all about Bernie trying to get the advantage in California. It’s not going to work.”
The easiest way to understand what Bernie Sanders is doing is to think of Sen. Sanders as a man who is not ready to let go. The one consistency in every answer that Sanders gives about the state of the race is a willingness to keep going. It doesn’t matter what the delegate math, popular vote, or pledged delegate count says, Bernie Sanders is going to keep going.
