Donald Trump: “I’d Love to Debate Bernie but They’ve Gotta Pay a Lot of Money for It”
In the latest chapter of the ongoing saga of History’s Weirdest Presidential Election, Bernie Sanders says he’ll “debate” Donald Trump.
So here we have a guy who’s not going to be the Democratic nominee agreeing to “debate” a guy who’s not yet the Republican nominee. Who benefits from this? Certainly not the Democratic Party.
On ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Trump was asked if he would consider holding a debate with Sanders. Trump agreed to the idea.
“If he paid a sum toward charity I would love to do that,” said the business mogul, noting that a Sanders vs. Trump debate “would have such high ratings.”
Sanders quickly responded with a tweet reading, “Game On. I look forward to debating Donald Trump in California before the June 7th primary.”
Trump clarified today that sure, he’ll debate Bernie Sanders — for $10 million.
.@realDonaldTrump: “I’d love to debate Bernie, but they’ve gotta pay a lot of money for it.” The business of Trump’s America is business.
