BREAKING NOW VIA REUTERS:

Sanders and Trump Officially agree to Debate each other before California's Primary.

>U.S. presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have appeared to agreed to debate each other ahead of California's June 7 primary contest, an unconventional move before either political party has formally picked its nominee.

>Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, is still locked in a tight primary battle against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, while Trump effectively clinched the Republican party's nomination earlier this month when his two remaining rivals dropped out.

>In an appearance on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" late Wednesday, Trump was asked whether he was willing to participate in such an event against Sanders.

>"Yes, I am," Trump said, adding that he would do it if the event's proceeds were donated to a good cause.

>"If I debated him, we would have such high ratings," the billionaire businessman said. "I think I should ... take that money and give it to some worthy charity."

>Sanders appeared to agree in a post on Twitter early Thursday.

HE ACTUALLY DID IT! THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN!
WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS???

>A woman wearing a hat with the word "Bernie" smiles...
Not for long.

he's staying in the news. like keeping bernie hanging around was supposed to keep hillary in the news. oops.

Hes lending some of his memetic powers to bernie to power up the opposition against hillary

Hoping for the hernia jokes to come out of retirement

>mfw I don't have to wait until Fall for another debate

This is the election cycle that just keeps giving.

>implying it won't turn violent and a bunch of Bern victims get their shit pushed in

If doubles, kek will ensure that bernies legion ends up voting for trump

I have a feeling Trump will back away from this

Can't the democratic party punish Sanders for appearing in a debate that they didn't approve of?

If they try, bernie will probably bring up the fact they have been rigging the system against him so it's justified

Why would he? If he didn't want to do this, he could have very easily told Kimmel that he'd be happy to debate Bernie if he gets the nomination, but right now he should be worrying about Hillary. Trump clearly wants this. He is probably planning on going very easy on Sanders, killing him with compliments on how his ideas are great but he disagrees with his solutions, to win over many of his voters.

Plus it is a grave insult to Hillary, basically stating "look Sanders supporters, Hillary is a coward who backed out of debating Bernie even though she agreed to do it but I am stepping in when don't even have to!"

Nah

Not gonna happen.

Trump keeps trying to pump up Bernie and praise Bernie because he knows the system is rigged towards crooked Hillary. He's trying to destroy the Dems, so many bitter bernie believers will go to Trump out of pure hatred and spite towards Hillary.

Trump is a genius with a 150+ IQ.

What is trump getting from this?
He needs Bernie to lose so Hillary will be nominated and lost to trump for an easy win.
Trump is already getting the leavers of Bernies group so why do any more?

This is going to bite Trump in the ass because if Trump wins the debate (which he will) the bernouts will leave Trump depending on how badly Trump beats him, and may even go to Hillary.

There's also no way Bernie will even consider Trumps opinions, he's just going to bitch and moan, and make it look like Trump is the ultimate evil, which is bad for Trump. For crying out loud the one who was bad mouthing trump from the very start was Bernie.

>Trump and Bernie debate
They're going to roast Hillary the entire time. It's going to be a big song and dance in order to swing the Bernie supporters over to Trump since Bernie doesn't have a chance to win the Dem's rigged election.

>Trump wins the debate, his standing among Republicans is strengthened as he shows he can handle himself in a debate.
>Trump loses the debate, Democrats become more divided as to whether they should nominate Sanders to beat Trump.

Either way Trump wins.

> $.02 has been deposited into your account

3D chess

> He is probably planning on going very easy on Sanders, killing him with compliments
>Plus it is a grave insult to Hillary

Exactly this. He's telling Bernouts "I am the true heir of Bernie".

>$.02 potatoes has been deposited into your food bowl

Haven't you all learned that no one is in the same league meme mastery than our Lord and emporer?

I don't question his moves anymore. "any Republican can't support planned parenthood", ratings go up. "a pro transgender Republican?", ratings go up.

Trust in our emporer, he knows his every right move years before anyone else. Quads prove this, that you truly and indubitably cannot. stump. the. Trump.

I guess I'll just take the dubs :)

Hitler dubs checked

Back to back dubs, close enough for me

Friendly reminder from a Bernie supporter but anyone but Killary. Trump is a master tactician, his failures normally come down to ego or not having the right people in charge.

I've played a lot of people games, activism, meming and just good old fun. But I think Trump would beat me at most shit!

what the fuck is up with you fucks checking dubs or trips or quads?
whats so fascinating about that?
pathetic kids, go to school.

>WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS???
This is masterful political gamesmanship.

Not even a Trumpfag, but bravo.

This is because Bernie's campaign is pretty much dead (mathematically), but he's still doing damage to Hillary (as seen in recent polls) and is continuing to split the Democratic party into chaos

By debating Bernie, Trump makes Bernie relevant again, making Trump v Sanders the biggest show in politics for a whole week, thereby sidelining Hillary and making her look like an irrelevant and non-serious competitor.

How the fuck is that shilling?
There is no real benefit to trump if he debated Bernie before the nomination.
He's more likely to lose something than to gain anything out of it.

However as a previous user wrote if he did debate Bernie and was gracious in the debate towards him he could turn more people against Hillary.
Still there is a good chance that it may not turn to his favour.

>WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS???
He's going to present bern victims with a sales pitch without a msm middlemen twisting his words.

...

1) what's trump's angle here? The man is a genius and he's always got all bases covered, so I think he knows what he's doing, but I'm not sure what purpose that would be.

2) From what I understand, bernie can't appear in non-DNC debates without breaking some contract and getting fucked

this
Trump knows that Bernie won't get the nomination so he wants to ensure that Bern supporters won't go voting for Hillary

I have not watched much Dem debates, I admit. The BLM shit turns me off too damn much.

Is Bernie a good debater?

This. it's pretty brilliant. The Bern victims will go nuts for this. A longer more bitter Democratic primary fight is all to Trump's favor.

Purpose it to make friends with Bernie and Bernouts and get their votes. He would be mostly "well Bernie that's a great idea, here's why I can do it better".

He doesn't give a fuck what contract Bernie breaks.

Bernie already lost, Trump will simply use this debate to win Bernie supporters by focusing on their few similarities.

Bernie attacks Trump.
Trump attacks Bernie and puts him in his place.
BOTH now focus on trashing Hillary

Trump is taking that already pissed off hive of bees and smashing it on the ground.

Bernie's supporters will want blood at the Democratic Convention.

Not at all, he's really passive and just uses the same topic repeatably during a debate, however Hillary isn't much better.

Didn't get quads. You embody the real Donald, thinks he's a wit, is only half right. He's successfully pandered to a nation of morons. Not difficult to do.

Well played Trump!

Exactly, you dont WIN someone's supporters by destroying their favorite candidate in a debate. If he wins, its a pointless victory over a non-existent opponent like Ted Cruz- if he purposely loses, he looks weak for the general against his actual opponent Hillary, who Bernie WILL endorse despite Bernouts' bitching.

There wont be a debate since only Bernie gains anything from any of this.

Trump will assign Bernie as vice president if Bernie isn't nominated by DNC.

That would be crazy and turn everything in politics upside down.

Oh man imagine if the "debate" is just them talking about how bad Hillary is. Record-breaking TV ratings exposing people to the light.

If I was running the DNC, you can bet your ass we would be coming down on him like a ton of bricks for this. Off of every senate comittie, staff black listed, primary challengers with our full financial backing every year, "hey, with yucca mountain cancled, we need to set up a new nuclear waste storage sight, hey, why not somewhere in Vermont?", and hell, maybe just have him shot, someone at the DNC has to know a guy.

Can we get correct the record here we need shillary damage control lmfaoooo!!!!

Bernie's logic is that "well if Hillary broke the contract, the I'll break the contract"

Lol this

Why even bother to try and make sense of anything he does.

He had been planning this for 30 years and no off the hip comment even matters.

>agree with Bernie on some things
>sell right-wing thinking to people who haven't actually heard it
>talk about Hillary's corruption without Hillary being there to laugh it off
>make Hillary look weak and give bernvictims hope

It's perfect.

It's the best possible move for sure. Hilldog wouldn't stand a chance

>take clinton out of the equation

>it'll be bernie and trump shitposting

>discontent in the dems

If you do unsanctioned debates you aren't allowed at future sanctioned debates. Since both parties aren't doing debates anymore it doesn't matter.

Trump knows it is now his job to keep the den nom process going all the way to the convention.

He is dividing the democrat party.

In this debate he will handle Bernie with respect and say how his anti rstablishment run is like his. He knows that this would be his moment to prove to bern victims that he should be their pick over hillary.
He and Bernie will evicerate Hillary leaving her enelectable.

Once Bernie it out, and he will be out, then they move to trump

It is again, amaxingly smart

I am in love with trump and his ways

>picking a commie jew who would absolutely destroy america with open borders and DUDE FREE SHIT LMAO
>best possible move

dumb goyim

How in the hell can then nom him vp?

Trump is a capitalist and Bernie a socialist

Stupid

Well, passive aint going to work against Trump. He needs to be on the offensive, all times, I imagine.

Honestly that is a pretty terrible idea to be honest.
What if someone assassinates Trump?

Than Bernie will be the president which means you got a progressive commie in charge of good ol' merica.

Kek crazy is an understatement.
But I would love if this happened because of the memes

This is what's needed. Two dudes - both coming at it from different sides - but who both want to tear the system down.

Leave the corporatist cunt looking in from the outside because she's terrified and can't afford to get involved.

This Irishman gets it

It is fucking amazing what is going on

A big fuck you to the rep and dem machines

>If I was running the DNC, you can bet your ass we would be coming down on him like a ton of bricks for this.

which would alienate not only Sanders but every single one of his supporters that Hillary's relying on to turn to her come election time (if she wins the nomination). They can't do shit.

>Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton are the moderators

I'm gonna sell so much fuckin popcorn

What would be amazing is if the debate were to be conducted in a respectful, well-intentioned manner. No ragging on each other or throwing barbs but lots of "I respectfully disagree". The two shake hands at the end of it, the media are amazed at how well it went and how much was discussed and Clinton is left on the sidelines like yesterday's news.

>implying the God emperor can be assassinated

This is super smart.

Sway the bernie supporters and prove that the current money stealing politics can he removed with either of them. Hillary wwill be nominated and this event will stay fresh in the bernie cucks minds. Trump will be easy on bernie and agree with stuff he says (or politely refute) and in the end prove two things; either of these candidates will be better than hillary, and there is a middle ground to be found.

He said it's for charity that's the point dumbass

It'll be even more beautiful when Hillary is arrested and the Dems have to field some random person who hasn't been running.

none of you are thinking clearly. If you listen to clip, trump said "how much is Bernie going to pay me.."

They won't be able to come to financial terms, which is how Trump has it planned out.

Would make no sense for him to risk his ass and being embarrassed for...to what end?

And if he does well, it can only make the bernouts hate him for beating their false prophet like a whipped dog.

No way Trump could come out of this well. Won't happen.

Again a masterstroke here because killary can't attack it later in the debates during the general. I hated trump at the beginning of the year but now I'm all in. The guy is a clever bastard. And I hate hillary that much. I voted for Bernie in the Texan primary just to spite hillary.

>implying lord kek is loyal to anyone other than chaos

These things don't have a clear winner or loser. Bernie and Trump would talk in advance to make this happen and I'm sure they'll put some ground rules that would benefit both.

Bernie doesn't want to shit on Trump too much as he wants to woe his supporters to help him in the coming primaries. Remember California is open primaries.

Trump also gets to present that he and Bernie share the same opinions when it comes to NAFTA and the TTP, auditing the FED, Washington corruption and the ties Hillary has with Wall Street.
It would actually force millions of Bernie supporters to listen to Trump without the veil of the media lying about his positions.
There is also what user said

>Anyone debating Bernie is at risk of looking bad

Even I could get on stage against him and look like I'm more presidential than him. And I'm a cat.

nice flag

Do you think Bernie would put you on a pedestal because you're a pussy?

On the internet no one knows you're a cat.

>1) what's trump's angle here? The man is a genius and he's always got all bases covered, so I think he knows what he's doing, but I'm not sure what purpose that would be.

pretty clearly an opportunity for trump to hammer clinton for awhile, since the one thing bernie/trump both have in common is their anti-establishment angle. along those lines it's an opportunity to get in front of sanders' audience.

i dont think bernie gives a fuck about any kind of contract anymore.

>the BLM shit turns me off

>regurgitating Sup Forums memes unironically

jesus christ i knew Sup Forums was riddled with teenagers but you'd think you would at least try not to sound like an underage faggot

Why do you think Trump would be embarrassed?

>Bernie and Trump would talk in advance to make this happen and I'm sure they'll put some ground rules that would benefit both.

But what is Bernie's incentive? What does he get out of it? He actually hates trump and has said he'd do everything he can to stop him from winning, even if he loses the nomination. There's no way he'd be complicit in a plan that would just result in his followers going to trump. He'd rather have hillary win.

Hillary Clinton just backed out of a scheduled debate with Bernie in California.
Mind you, that's not the same as Trump refusing to participate in further debates, as this was a scheduled event she canceled.

Trump comes out as a contrast to Hillary's dishonesty and cowardice, takes Bernie to the debate stage. That creates positive connotations for Trump among Bernie supporters, and contrasts him to Hillary.

>subtly urge the normies to accept Bernie as the legitimate front-runner
>stir up division within the democratic party

The God Emperor has heard our prayers.

This is a mistake imo, this will alienate bernie supporters who didn't perceive them as enemies. The only way it'll work is if they just agree on clinton being bad the whole time and not cement their positions as polar opposite.

For real I think that is ready for anything, he receives death threats on a daily basis.
And he is redpilled about the enstablishment he knows the enstablishment wants him dead

*he is ready

He gets to tell reddit the momentum is back and all he needs is $27 from each of them.

>WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS???

he's showing how the people are demanding justice over emails, benghazi, assorted other Clinton and Bush scandals too numerous to list here,

they're showing how they are united in excluding Hillary from the process, of course it's all orchestrated and everyone is in on it,

it's a stab at women or if not will be played as such, a decent woman politician needs to rise, I hope that Kennedy girl got voice lessons and has a good writer,

even if she still sounds awful she needs to rise now, they killed her Father her uncle and her brother, is she even still alive? yes she is, Ambassador to Japan currently.

THIS SHOULD BE GOOD!

#hillary2016

>Hillary's dishonesty and cowardice

she just needs to spill the fucking beans, I mean this shit is out already, she can come clean about the whole fucking process of rule and just be honest about it, she could have the election then criminal or not,

if she decided to become a symbol for a politician who could fess up and admit to their own ills that would be such an important change for American life it will merit her an unfading chapter in history, to be willing to represent that style of rule with honesty would make her someone I will never forget

but she has to fess up, to all of it, human sacrifice and aliens, holograms and the whole shit, as deep as it goes.

At this point in the primary how can why could Bernie do anything but rip Hillary? It would be political suicide to do anything but distance himself from her znd rip her

>#hillary2016

with this move by Trump thats incredible unlikely unless she can produce a match play, earn the people's support

won't be easy but it's possible

>But what is Bernie's incentive? What does he get out of it?

If you check the polls from the last couple of weeks, Bernie's numbers are dropping nation wide. It's not because people stopped liking his message, but because they are coalescing around the presumptive nominee.

There is nothing Bernie can say that will reverse this. But if Trump and Bernie go on a debate stage that may make people see him as a serious candidate again.

Furthermore, network coverage of Bernie has dropped dramatically. He needs to find ways to keep himself in the news. This is going to give him nation wide headlines for a week or more, with national stage for 2 hours.
Sidelining Hillary.

>There's no way he'd be complicit in a plan that would just result in his followers going to trump.
No, but he might be willing to compromise, toning down his rhetoric for the debate to get the bigger boon, which is the debate itself.
The identity of the moderators is going to matter a huge deal as well.
Now the debate that Hillary backed out of was supposed to be moderated by...? FOX news, I hope you're getting my drift here...

The man has to be delusional at this point, he has no chance to win, but he is still making an effort to trash Hillary (in his passive manner but still). So it seems like he may compromise for personal gain even if it hurts Hillary. He is already doing so by not dropping out.

>they're showing how they are united in excluding Hillary from the process, of course it's all orchestrated and everyone is in on it,

hillary declined the debate invitation, which is what led to this. they would love for her to backpeddle and show up.

THE GREATEST GLADIATOR MATCH IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD

TRUMP VS BERNIE

CAPITALISM VS SOCIALISM

Sup Forums VS REDDIT

One if the biggest things among other things about this is that it de-legitimizes hillary''s position as the front runner. Trump disregarded hillary, went over her head and debated sanders.

This must be so insulting to her

So basically Bernie decided Hillary isn't killing his campaign fast enough, he wants to take a bullet to the head rather than wait to bleed to death.

>hillary declined the debate invitation, which is what led to this.

Oh no... it's worse, Clinton has accepted 4 more debates in February, this one being one of them. It was scheduled and a network was chosen to moderate it.

Then... Hillary backs out of an organized event.

I can't wait. Remember when Bernie said terrorism is caused by global warming, white people can't be poor, etc, on live TV? He's a terrible debtor, and even Clinton steamrolled him almost every time. The bernout butthurt will be glorious.
