Watch: Trump Bizarrely Suggests Bernie Sanders Should Pay Him for a Debate
May 26, 2016
Donald Trump hung out with late night Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday night, performing his usual preening, strutting, bragging, babbling and making very little sense. When Kimmel asked the Donald who he'd rather run against, Bernie or Hillary, the egomaniac reality star replied:
“I actually think Bernie would be easier to beat. But what I like about Bernie is that he is losing because the system is rigged against him just like it was rigged against me."
Trump also pointed out that the "rigged" system no longer matters to him because he won, so why should he care.
“Here’s a question from Bernie," Kimmel read to Trump, going into a rather feeble Bernie impersonation. "'Hillary Clinton backed out of an agreement to debate me in California before the June 7 primary, are you prepared to debate the major issues facing our largest state and the country before the California primary?'"
Trump loved the idea.
"Yes, I am, how much is he going to pay me?" Trump asked Kimmel, apparently not understanding how debates work. He added, "If I debated him, we would have such high ratings and I think I should take that money and give it to some worthy charity."
We all know how much Trump loves giving to charity, as evidenced by how he avoided giving promised funds to that veteran's group.
Meanwhile, the Sanders camp has also agreed to a debate with Trump, so game on.
Bernie Sanders' team responded right away:
Game on. I look forward to debating Donald Trump in California before the June 7 primary.— Bernie Sanders (@Bernie Sanders)1464237049.0
And even before Kimmel episode aired, The Young Turks had already invited both the Democratic and Republican candidate on the show.
The Young Turks has reached out to @BernieSanders and @realDonaldTrump camps and offered to host a cross-partisan debate in California!— Cenk Uygur (@Cenk Uygur)1464212789.0
Though Uygur is still hoping Clinton will join them. “Wouldn’t it be amazing to see all three on the debate stage at the same time and you get an absolutely clear understanding of where each of them stands and then you get to make your decision. Isn’t that how a democracy is supposed to go? Wouldn’t it be wonderful?” Uygur asked.
