Sanders-Trump debate and the butt-hurt in Camp Weathervane.

The unhappy campers are in a tizzy today! Her Majesty reneged on her promise to debate Bernie before the California primary. She was afraid to debate. They thought it was a stroke of genius to dodge the debate.

Bernie still wanting a debate and not afraid to debate anyone, anytime, then agreed to debate Trump. Bernie outflanked Ms. Golden Sacks and now her minions are apoplectic. Gotta love it.

she didn't want to give Bernie an opening.

Bernie decided to create an opening for himself.

And debating Trump no matter what makes Bernie look desperate and emphasizes the fact he is not a Democrat.

and a loss in CA. The timing, now, of a debate with Hillary in it would practically guarantee questions about "her damned emails" and they want to give that as little oxygen as possible.

1. there will be no debate. It will never happen
2. It makes Bernie look bad, not Hillary

It's time to realize that no matter what tricks Sanders or his team want to pull, he will not be the nominee.

It helps Trump...don't give a rat's you know what about Bernie...he is out in about 10 days...but let's not help Trump. If Bernie did this, he looks bad...but that is his problem.

and 2) it actually makes Sanders look smart. Some say Presidential.

It makes Hillary look outwitted and foolish for not accepting the invitation to debate in the first place.

decline. She had her chance.

I read someone thought that the DNC should strip his platform people. Wow.. so mad and jealous! I wonder if they would say the same if it were Clinton instead of Sanders?

and Hillary copped out.

This isn't a good week for "camp change a lot". A scathing report about her emails. a ducking out of the Cali debate which now has been turned into a complete positive that doesn't include her, new polls show her losing to Trump, her numbers as far as trust goes are down even further.....nope. Not a good week.

Sadly her supporters are mad at Bernie. I believe it's called "displaced aggression"

It's not going to be a 'debate' as much as it's going to be a primetime mutual Hillary hatefest, since that's the one thing both camps agree 100% on...

At least it will pull a big ratings number, which is all the people trying to make this happen really care about, anyway...
