“I’d love to debate Bernie. He’s a dream. What we’ll do is raise, for maybe women’s health issues or something, if we can raise $10 million or $15 million for charity,” Trump said at a news conference Thursday in North Dakota.
“I understand the television business very well and [we] would get high ratings and [it] should be in a big arena somewhere. And we could have a lot of fun,” he said, prompting a quick reply from Sanders.
“I am delighted that @realDonaldTrump has agreed to debate. Let’s do it in the biggest stadium possible,”
“We’re taking it very seriously,” Weaver said. “We are ready to debate Donald Trump and hope he doesn’t chicken out. We have to see if Donald Trump has the courage to take the stage with Bernie Sanders.”
it would be "inappropriate" to share the stage with the loser of the Democratic primary and help networks that have not been generous to charities.
"Well Mr Trump, what are you afraid of?" he said, calling him a "bully".

It was just Trump running off at the mouth. As soon as he left the stage his advisors jumped him and told him it was a stupid idea, so he had to recant. Why should he debate Sanders right now and bring any negatives to bear on him? What he needs to have happen is Sanders beating up on Hillary some more. If he debated Sanders it would only help Hillary, and he doesn't want that to happen.

Trump knows the only person who wins, by having the debate, is Sanders. He absolutely does not want to aid Sanders, in anyway, in getting the nomination. He knows that he can beat Hillary and he knows that he cannot beat Sanders.

I don't believe that. If Sanders is the nominee he will go down in flames as badly as McGovern did. I do not believe the country wants a Democratic Socialist vowing to raise taxes by trillions of dollars to pay for free stuff for non-contributors.

I don't think the Sanders camp is in any position to expect the GOP presumptive nominee to humor them.
If Bernie can pull off being the Democrat nominee that is a different story.

Well, I think trump should have gone through with the debate. Sanders isn't getting the nomination even if Hillary is indicted, Biden would get her delegates I would think.
The debate would have made Hillary look stupid, and chicken for not debating sanders, and if done correctly pointed out how sanders is a lunatic when it comes to his economic policies. Trump is playing it safe which is not what got him the nomination.
