What may have been the greatest political spectacle in the history of mankind has been cancelled.

Well, this is a bummer:
Surprising absolutely no one, Trump backs out of #BernieSanders debate. Says it would be “inappropriate.” https://t.co/X4XdIdpzZ2

Gee, what a difference a day makes.
YESTERDAY: "I'd love to debate Bernie. He's a dream" —@realDonaldTrump https://t.co/7sw3muO9hj

OK, well, he clearly just wants to save his energy up for the Really Big Show.
So @realDonaldTrump is afraid to debate @BernieSanders but he's totally ready to take on Hillary…

Oh, totally. And besides: He wouldn’t want to give anyone the impression that he’d do anything “inappropriate”.
Trump’s statement makes total sense when you remember that, to a fault, he’s concerned with what would be appropriate.

And Bernie doesn’t seem to mind the idea of debating Trump:

Maybe this isn’t about what’s appropriate after all. Maybe Donald’s just some kind of … “leightweight.”

Trump just backed-out of a debate with Sanders. That he even can't handle a substantive exchange with a socialist speaks volumes. Bad call.
