That’s true. The Millenials and the voluntarily, chronic unemployed love Santa Claus.

Very interesting. This pretty much implies that going forward the traditional media entities are going to be disintermediated and cast into increasing irrelevance. They’re going the way of print media if they don’t change their wicked ways.

It would create a huge fight at the dem convention and majorly piss off the Bernie people. Maybe Trump helps Bernie win California even though Trump gets nomination. This would turn millions of dems against Hillary.

How about double the 10 Million $?

Boxing promoter Bob Arum offers $20M for Trump-Sanders debate

Bob Arum’s Top Rank Promotions has offered to promote a proposed Donald Trump vs. Bernie Sanders debate, pledging to donate the proceeds, a minimum of $20 million, to charity.

“It’s the debate of the century between two of the top pound-for-pound politicians in the country — Mr. Trump, the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee and Senator Sanders, the Democratic candidate,” Mr. Arum said in a press release. “We have two contenders ready, willing and able to go mano a mano over the most important issues facing the United States. And I am ready to promote it.”

The idea of the debate was first proposed Wednesday night during Mr. Trump’s appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Asked if he would consider the matchup, Mr. Trump responded: “We would have such high ratings and I think I should take that money and give it to some worthy charity.”

Mr. Arum, an International Boxing Hall of Famer, agreed.

“It would be the biggest pay-per-view of all time,” he told USA Today Thursday night. “I’m not going to charge crazy prices. I’ll take a fee, and I’ll put a guarantee up, and it’ll be for charity.”

Thanks for posting the good news!

This pretty much implies that going forward the traditional media entities are going to be disintermediated and cast into increasing irrelevance. They’re going the way of print media if they don’t change their wicked ways.

I stopped watching ABCNNBCBS over a decade ago. I dced Faux news in Feb of this year due to their never Trump bs and Meagyn Kelly!

Now, I get my national/international news from Free Republic. I go to local tv news apps for state/local news. That eliminates lying/whining liberals on our tv set.

I watched Trump at Fresno live on YouTube with my new fast modem this morning. I don't need some liar telling me what Trump didn't say.

By candidate Donald Trump initially entertaining the Sanders invite the media storm elevated Sanders California profile. As a consequence, by declining the debate Trump initiates a sympathetic energy release amid the electorate toward Bernie which will, most assuredly, ensure Sanders wins the California primary against Clinton. The long game of Clinton’s nominee marginalization is better served with Sanders winning the CA primary. A well played maneuver of strategic political chess.

I was thinking same. $15 million minimum and let there be a bidding war and all goes to charity. What a great outcome.

Trump has said no deal on a Sanders debate.

Maybe he is casting/dabbing his fishing fly out there for a really big offering for charities.
