Taking it as an affirmative, Sanders looked forward to the debate via Twitter.

The average of this month’s polls shows Mr Trump beating Mrs Clinton by slightly less than 1 point. “Sanders and Mr. Trump have for the future of our country”, read the statement.
Back in March, Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-San Bernardino, one of Clinton’s superdelegates, had asked the Democratic Central Committee to hold a California debate in San Bernardino.
The gambit still proved to be a win-win for both candidates, who earned headlines and television minutes highlighting Clinton’s refusal to debate. “And we could have a lot of fun with it. I’d love to debate Bernie”. He went on, saying he’d agree to a debate if money raised went to charity. $10 million. At least. I think it would get very high ratings. However, a freshly released statement from America’s orange dividing line has The Donald wielding that word to describe a potential debate between himself and Democratic contender Bernie Sanders. “She’s looking very nervous lately”, he said.
“Now you’re telling me that he is not going to debate me”.
Bernie Sanders responded to Trump’s decision not to debate and suggested that he’d be game for his Republican rival to reverse his stance on having a one-on-one showdown. I look forward to that.
So what of this is true?
“We would host the debate as a physical event and live stream it to the world”, Hecker said.
When this year’s presidential primary began, many people dismissed the Democratic Party contest as a done deal. “We hope that he will not chicken out”, he said.
Part of Mrs Clinton’s problem is that she is running for president in a year when voter distrust of, and even anger at, the political and economic establishments has come to define the national mood. Circumventing those worlds to talk debates with Kimmel fits perfectly into those narratives.
“How do you deal with that?” A nationally televised event would have helped him achieve that goal.
Sanders and his supporters have protested the Democratic nomination process, especially the influential role of superdelegates and the limited amount of primaries open to Independent voters.

This is where we are now. Moments before the Republican candidate’s announcement, the Sanders campaign said two broadcast networks had agreed to make major charitable contributions in order to host the forum.
