The Fox News town hall on Monday night with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Hillary Clinton began as an attempt to set up a one-on-one debate between Sanders and Donald Trump, the New York Times reported on Tuesday morning.
Sanders agreed to the debate and the Trump campaign was interested in pursuing the debate at first, according to the Times. But Trump ultimately pulled out of the debate, citing scheduling conflicts, according to the Times.
Fox News then set up a town hall with Sanders before Hillary Clinton agreed to participate in the event with Fox’s Bret Baier, the New York Times reported.
Drumpf will now insist that no such negotiations took place because if they had, he would have won the negotiations because he’s the best negotiator you’ve ever seen.
O.K., let’s see if I can do this:
For someone who talks so tough, the Donald sure chickens out of a lot of debates.
Too bad–I would have enjoyed that. Although, I’d prefer PBS control the moderators.
Really? I think that’s way out of line for Bernie to agree to such a thing. He doesn’t read that as Fox news manipulating the situation? I think I’m over Bernie now.
Actually debates between the candidates in the primaries on both sides would be a good idea, IMO
