Why are some people here seemingly happy that Trump "punked" Bernie?
It appears that a few people on this site are laughing along with Donald about the "joke" debate. I thought no "Trump-humping" was allowed? I don't like it when either side does the GOP's work for them.

He is terrified of Bernie. That's why Trump is being so gentle to Hillary until June 8th.
After that, the airwaves will be full-time Wall Street speech videos, wikileaked Hillary emails, etc. |

39. Terrified of what???
Trump has been getting hammered in the media for months and he's shown he doesn't care at all what they say about him.
Did you watch any of the GOP debates? He has no problem being insulting, rude and combative. There's literally nothing Bernie could say that hasn't been said about Trump before, and Bernie isn't exactly a good debater to start with. Nobody who is considering voting for Trump cares if he doesn't debate Bernie. The only people who care are Berniebros who would love the legitimacy that a debate against the GOP nominee would bring. Trump has all the cards. He punked Bernie and made him dance. The real show comes in a few months when Clinton debates Trump. |

I think all of what is going on here is obvious. You have a Hillary-supporting site admin keeping the fires of rage fueled at at the highest notch on the dial for weeks and weeks, long after such vitriol will have any actual effect on the election. All of this fighting must generate incredible ad views. I will say, it is a bit cruel of a Hillary supporter to do that to so many Bernie fans because it's only going to result in a far greater emotional crash when they finally accept that he's not going to be the nominee.

29. I'm not happy either way, but I did poke at a few people here because they took Trump seriously
I knew as soon as I saw the story that it would never happen and I said so.
Trump wouldn't do it, and I really think if Bernie had thought more about it, he would have also backed out. It was a stupid idea. |

46. Bernie Punked Trump ...
.... Sanders called his bluff, something almost nobody has done to date. And the big Drumpf bully blinked.
Bernie 1, Trump 0, Clinton on the sidelines. |

Fallen into Trumps trap even for an instant.
Are WE going to be dictated to by that stain? |

55. Because it cast a bad...
Optic on their candidate. Bernie was willing and ready to go as he indicated where and who was not as issue where as their candidate not so much even though she said she would. So there's that...

Bernie IMO.

60. I'm not laughing.
Trump is an asshole.
Bernie should have said no, since it is bad form for him as runner-up to debate the GOP nominee, but still, he is one of ours. So I will never, ever take Trump's side against him. Even though a lot of Bernie supporters seem to like taking Trump's side against Hillary. |

62. Trump chickens out of debating Bernie lol!
I said it before that Trump probably won't debate anymore. It's his worst forum.

67. What 'punked"? Did Trump lie when Kimmel asked him to debate Sanders and Trump said yes?
Sanders accepted instantly. Got to happen in the next couple days, the Ca. primary is the 7th.

68. I was just quoting what some have said, that Bernie got "punked".
I wasn't agreeing with it.

69. So Trump lied when he said he would debate. I guess Trump got scared when Sanders accepted.

70. He either lied or just wanted attention.
Probably both.

80. Because Sanders had the temerity to stand in the way of the final ascension of oligarchy.
Don't you know, we're supposed to be trapped under the boots of the plutocrats if we're not "with her"? Urgh. What a culty tagline. I can almost smell the Kool-Aid from here.

81. I'm not sure why it's considered a "punking"
I doubt Sanders actually thought that Trump would debate him and all Sanders did as best I can tell is make a tweet and maybe have a back channel discussion of which nothing seems to have come.
It's just Trump being a dumbass and he had his bluff called. |

85. Yeah that's what I think too.
I put "punking" in the OP because I kept seeing people using that word without reason in posts.

83. The only one punked here was Hillary. Just like Trump, she too is afraid to debate Bernie. Thanks
to Trump's lily livered, chicken-hearted response, voters are now learning that Hillary was afraid too.
