It would bring together on the same stage the two change agent political candidates of this election cycle.
St. Petersburg, Fl
As I write this on
Friday evening, the Sanders/Trump debate seems to be gaining legs by the hour.
Would it be the debate
of the century? I am not sure.
Would it really mean
anything?
For Trump it would be a
glorious show case.
For Sanders a single
chance to get a real shot at Trump.
The risk to the Democrats
is the very strong possibility that Sanders supporters may not see the boogie
man in Trump the media has been selling and vote for him when Sanders is
shunned by the Democratic Party.
There are tons of
details to work out, which network, where, who will the moderators be and then
there is the $10 million Trump wants to go to charity.
We are about to find
out just how greedy the networks are as they try to negotiate their way around
the big price tag. Private funders may step in.
There is a legitimate
question as to what would actually come from a Sanders/Trump debate.
It would bring together
on the same stage the two change agent political candidates of this election
cycle.
It would allow those
looking for change in the political process to hear their candidates air their
differences and agreements.
It would be great
theater, great politics and I think it would enhance the current political
process.
There will be no winner
or loser between the candidates, but there will be a big winner – the people.
Is the $10 Million for
charity to great a price? Not really.
Trump makes a good point; whichever network carries the debate will make a ton
of money.
Networks are reporting
funding sources are already stepping up. No names so far.
I can’t wait.
