So the big news around here now is Bernie Sanders is willing to debate Donald Trump. Never mind that he considered doing it before today at a previous debate invitation.
It seems absurd to me that people float Conspiracy Theories; with zero evidence mind you, that this debate would be some kind of summit to take down Hillary Clinton. They ignore Bernie’s years of service to Progressive causes. And his very own words.
Bernie has repeatedly said that he will do everything within his power to stop Trump. Bernie is considered very trustworthy by the American people and there is no reason to believe. Absolutely none. That he has bad intentions.
It seems absurd to me that people would be afraid of this. Donald Trump has gotten to walk around with complete freedom to say whatever he wants to and not once been confronted on any of his hateful, violent, and destructive rhetoric. He has never been put in his place.
If anything a debate between Bernie Sanders; one of the most popular politicians in the United States today with one of the highest positive ratings versus Donald Trump who has the highest negative ratings in the United States of any public figure could only end badly for Trump.
It seems to me that in fact — it could be one of the most useful events in our political cycle. Hillary Clinton has high negative numbers — her debates with Donald Trump will likely not have much effect on his candidacy due to that fact. Bernie is the only one who can take Donald Trump down effectively and embarrass him publicly on a national stage.
He will make Donald Trump look like the joke he is. And that could only be a good thing. He deserves to look like a pathetic joke and be called out to his face for his hateful destructive rhetoric. It has taken far too long for that to happen and no one in the press is doing it.
