When Jimmy Kimmel asked Trump if he'd debate Sanders and his first response was "how much is he gonna pay me?" it was obvious that it was just a joke to him.

But Sanders wasted no time in saying yes to the Orange menace. Between this and the embarrassing Pope stalking, it's apparent that Sanders needs better campaign advisors.

He had every chance in the world of getting out of this with his reputation inflated by his run against Hillary. Instead, he sets himself up for embarrassing failures.

Trump would never do it, and it looks like they were right.

Not surprised that Sanders would grab at it though, because he is looking for a Hail Mary

As far as debates between Hillary and Bernie, there doesn't need to be any more debates. There have been more than enough, and people know exactly where the candidates stand
