Bernie Sanders quickly accepted a chance to debate Donald Trump in an unusual, “out-of-the-box” idea dreamed up by Fox News executives. NY Times:
DETROIT — Rebuffed yet again in coaxing Hillary Clinton onto Fox News, executives at the network had an outside-the-box idea last month that would have made primary debate history: a face-off between Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and the equally fiery candidate on the Republican side, Donald J. Trump.
The Trump campaign was initially very interested, according to Fox officials, and the Sanders campaign was on board. But before the debate could be announced, the Trump campaign pulled out, citing scheduling conflicts, so the network planned to welcome just Mr. Sanders in an hourlong town-hall-style event...
Sanders also beats Trump in a head-to-head poll in Missouri. Hillary does not.
Big, tough King Trump, running away from our Bernie. And don’t come back, asshole.
