As ChickenTrump goes viral on Twitter in response to Donald Trumps refusal to debate Bernie Sanders, the presumptive GOP nominee may have just blown the chance he had of pulling in the Bernie or Bust crowd who had vowed never to vote for Hillary Clinton.
The ChickenTrump hashtag grew almost immediately in response to Trumps statement that he would not be debating, an idea he had publicly toyed with in the last few days. The idea arose after frontrunner Hillary Clinton turned down the Sanders camps request for a final debate before the California primary, one she had agreed to earlier in the campaign.
Spurred by the refusal by Hillary Clinton, many Sanders supporters latched onto the hope that a debate against the Republican nominee would allow Sanders to show his potential strength in the general election. That has been a major argument for the Vermont Senator as he tries to woo the superdelegates who would be able to put him over the top and potentially steal the nomination from Hillary Clinton, and to them the event would have been a key part of that strategy.
Hillary Clinton had already expressed doubt that the event would come together.

Actually Hillary people were adamant that it would not happen-How did they know?
Can't help but wonder...
So Hillary controls Trump? Is Trump throwing the election?

Shameful all around.

(5,754 posts)He needs viral nicknames every week. He's not a serious person and can't talk policy. The answer to his name calling is to call him "name caller". Or something funny that means the same thing.
