When a candidate declines it is often (but not always) a good strategic move.

I'm still hopeful he will do it. He just enjoys jerking Bernie's chain.

Once again showing how clueless you really are. The press and social media had a field day with this. Drumpf was clearly humiliated.

#chickentrump

Once again stupid Drumpf has opened his mouth without thinking, and then his team have obviously told him that Bernie would make him look an idiot so he's had to climb down.

I wouldn't be surprised if Drumpf pulls out of the Presidential debates, he's likely to be made to look a fool.

As usual the point passes straight over your head. Actually I am pretty disappointed, it would have been a fun debate between those 2.

It would have been an embarrassment since Trump has no understanding of any of the issues.

Bob Arum offers to promote heavyweight debate: Donald Trump vs. Bernie Sanders



Bob Arum’s Top Rank Promotions is ready to promote “The heavyweight debate: Donald Trump vs. Bernie Sanders.”


The idea of the debate was first proposed on Wednesday night when Trump appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Kimmel asked Trump if he’d consider it. Trump’s response: “We would have such high ratings and I think I should take that money and give it to some worthy charity.”


That’s all Hall of Fame promoter Arum needed to hear.


“It’s the debate of the century between two of the top pound-for-pound politicians in the country — Mr. Trump, the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee and Senator Sanders, the Democratic candidate,” said Arum, the CEO and Founder of Top Rank. “We have two contenders ready, willing and able to go mano a mano over the most important issues facing the United States. And I am ready to promote it.”


And don’t think Arum is not serious. “It would be the biggest pay-per-view of all time,” he said by phone Thursday night. ” I’m not going to charge crazy prices. I’ll take a fee, and I’ll put a guarantee up, and it’ll be for charity.”


And Arum said, as far as moderators are concerned, “screw these media moderators. They’re all . . . I recommend Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz and Mitt Romney.”


Arum said it would be the “greatest-watched television show of all time. . . . at least there would be a huge amount going to charity.”


Top Rank’s proposal is as follows:


–Top Rank will negotiate a site fee from a major U.S. venue for the debate


–Top Rank will produce and distribute the debate live on pay-per-view throughout the U.S.


— Top Rank will distribute the debate via closed-circuit to establishments in the U.S., including but not exclusive to, bars, restaurants, and movie theater chains



–80% of the net proceeds will go to the charity or charities of the candidates’ choice, agreed upon in advance, with a minimum of $20 million being donated



— The moderator or moderators will be subject to the approval of the candidates, though Arum, as he said, has recommended Clinton, Cruz and Romney.


Arum hopes the candidates understand his seriousness and get in touch with him. “If I started calling them,” he said, “they’d say, ‘who is this nut?’ They’ll read it and they’ll respond, and let’s see if we can get something done.”

How is it you ain't commenting in the boxing thread? I know you are a buff , no politics or religion guaranteed ,just the noble art

There were no Presidential debates in '64, '68 and '72.

Once Trump hears that he'll run faster than OJ Simpson at a KKK convention.

A bit of fun ...



Apologies if it's been posted before.

^^ for a balanced argument ...

An older clip ... can't find much done recently.

Judge Orders Release of Documents in Trump University Lawsuit

WASHINGTON—
A federal judge is ordering the release of Trump University internal documents in a class-action lawsuit against the now-defunct real estate school owned by presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

The order by U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel in San Diego, which came Friday in response to a request by The Washington Post, calls for the documents to be released by Thursday. The Post reported the order in a story on its website Saturday.

Trump University has been cited in anti-Trump political ads during the primary campaign as evidence that Trump doesn't fulfill his promises.

Trump's lawyers deny any wrongdoing in the case before Curiel as well as another class-action suit in San Diego and a $40 million lawsuit filed in 2013 by the state of New York alleging that more than 5,000 people had been defrauded.

In addition to calling him a “hater,” Trump accused Judge Gonzalo Curiel of being a “hostile” antagonist of his campaign who was “appointed by Barack Obama.” Oh, and that Curiel and was probably Mexican.

He has form for this kind of thing: acting like a petulant child in the face of criticism, censure, or adversity. And yet some people still think he's a suitable option for the office of President. Boggles the mind really.

I'm dumbfounded by the whole thing. I know Americans are extremely well propagandized, but people overlooking this shite over and over again.... How long can people make excuses for this?

Dumbfounded.

Overlooking it or seeing something of themselves reflected by it? I honestly don't know but there is something to the stereotype of Trump supporters I think.

Bill Maher (who has been sued by Trump before) insists on calling him a "whiny little bitch".

I think it's rather apt.

Wow! What a spectacle! Trump has a major meltdown at a press conference this morning. Trump attacked the press calling them sleazy, dishonest and liars. He was deeply offended that the press did its job raising questions about the accounting of the charitable monies he raised for vets. He really came unglued and looked totally mentally unstable.
Over to Longway to defend this nutjob.

^ & ^^nothing to defend. The law will take is course and the lsm deserve all the approbation they get and more.
