3. Hillary backed out Promised debate

Bernie pulls brilliant maneuver, knowing Trump would say Yes then change his mind, making him look weak like he backed out too. Now he gets to call out Trump, at the same time calling out Hillary without even mentioning her.

He's calling out Trump saying he chickened out (which he did)

You see him do that to Hillary? No.. and she's actually running against him and promised a debate!

However, now every time he mentions Trump backing out, we are reminded that Hillary backed out first and that everything he's saying about Trump backing out, applies to Hillary. Without being "mean" or "sexist" to her.


So yes, it's a brilliant move. #ChickenTrump has been trending and even Hillary has been called a chicken now too.


As for the "well he's losing! Why debate him?" argument. Well for one, they said they would. Hillary even promised she would.

2. We would never have debates if that's the way it worked. So what? If Trump polls high in a General election, winning states, Hillary's not going to debate him to regain control? Absurd stupid, silly argument.
