He was willing to go into the snake pit where the hosting snakes would have been after him big time and the main participating snake hightailed it out of there.

Debating one of the other party's candidates while the primary campaign is still going on?

Just don't see what the issue is here.

"All the rich kids in New York are running away from Brooklyn kids"


How does anybody think Drumpf is alpha male? It's really beyond me. He is so defensive and insecure. And he's a chicken shit.
He's scared of Megyn Kelly and he's scared of Bernie.

I think Bernie should bring this up in interviews or rallies.
"You know, I wanted to debate him badly, but for some reason, he chickened out the last minute. So I'm asking Mr. Trump to come on out, and to have a debate the way FOX News has initially planned."

Seeing someone fearless is very much what gets authoritarian types all hot and bothered so if they see their Alpha Male cower they begin to lose respect for him. It might force Trump to debate Bernie and that is EXACTLY where Bernie wants him!

Bernie would devastate him on a stage.

Maybe I am wrong -- I often am.

Trump -- take him on! Hee-hee!

Go Bernie!

Didn't read it so don't know if that's accurate. Not sure if he
was referring to primary debates or ALL debates.
Can't imagine what a debate between these two would be like...

Can anyone list just one single policy that Tea-Rump has laid out that has a means to an end? So far, all that I have heard are words, phrases, talking points, and broad generalizations intended to incite fear and anger in one group aimed directly at another group. The classic dodge game............forget about what I am doing, just pay attention to what "those folks" are doing.

Our Constitution, Congress, and the SCOTUS are all in place for a reason....to prevent a single person from usurping all power and taking over the country with their own agendas. Barack Obama could give him a great lesson in just that very thing. Saying something is one thing, actually doing it is another. ( See Gittmo).

Been a longtime lurker. Got plenty to say about Tea-Rump and his new Fascists Party and Black Suited Thugs. Reminds me of a certain paper hanger from Austria who's meme was the same, just a few words are now changed. Jew/Muslim. Communist/Socialist. Burn the books/Burn the Constitution. Blue eyes/White skin. Really eerie when you analyze it closely.

I'm glad you're contributing. Yes, it is eerie, and these tRumpnuts are probably going to start bringing weapons to their rallies now. I really fear for the next tRumble, where I think the violence is bound to be worse.

Like any bully, he doesn't like it when he knows he might not have the upper hand.
