Posted on 05/27/2016 1:16:05 PM PDT by GilGil

“Yesterday, Mr Trump asked for a $10 [million] donation to charity in order to accept Mr Sanders’ challenge to debate him. We are willing to offer that $10 million donation in return for the opportunity to host the debate” – Richie Hecker, chairman and CEO of Traction and Scale

We would host the debate as a physical event and live stream it to the world. As a technology incubator and investment company, Traction and Scale builds transformative user experiences and will host the debate on our cutting-edge mobile technology. We have distribution to 250MM Americans on social media through this channel.

What an interesting idea. A potential 250 million Americans could watch and this would shred Hillary into oblivion.

From what I understand Hillary totally has the nomination wrapped up. I would sure hope that this does not give Bernie it somehow.

Apparently it’s not gonna happen. Trump released a statement saying it would be inappropriate

I love it!

Looks like it’s now something that’s GOTTA happen. Too much buildup to back down.

CNBC is reporting that Trump has issued a statement turning down the idea of a debate.

Dumb. Trump should’ve gone through with it. I wonder what changed his mind? Now he just looks bad.

Its simple. Trump wants to run against Hillary. Easier to beat than Bernie.

Except there’s no way Hillary wouldn’t become the nominee.

Just the walking away stage of the negotiation

Holding out for more control

But both candidates might use the time to bash Hillary.

#2 Bernie can always debate #2 Cruz b4 Tuesday. It would help clearly define what the 2 parties stand for. Not any money involved but Bernie gets more exposure out of it.

A Trump Sanders debate would be to good to be true.

F** the moderator.

Trump to Sanders, “You are currently competing/running against Hillary for the nomination, What is it about Hillary that you dislike?”

And Trump could keep pounding Sanders and force him to attack Hillary.

I personally think both would benefit from it, with Trump being the 2nd biggest benefactor, right behind battered women.

I’m guessing Trump wanted town halls instead of a debate. Just guessing...

My guess is someone talked Trump out of it somehow.
