Politico reports:
Donald Trump on Thursday said he would “love” to debate Bernie Sanders and raise $10 million to $15 million in the process, even if the Democratic challenger is not well positioned to be his general election foe.
“He’s a dream,” the presumptive Republican nominee told reporters ahead of an energy-focused speech in Bismarck, North Dakota, when asked about his previous comments in which he appeared to accept Sanders’ offer to debate one-one-one ahead of the June 7 California primary.
Then Trump laid out what the arrangement might look like: “What we’ll do is raise maybe for, maybe women’s health issues or something, if we can raise $10 million or $15 million for charity, which would be a very appropriate amount. I understand the television business very well.”
Last night Sanders tweeted “game on” in response to Trump’s debate offer. How Sanders will feel about Trump’s latest proposal remains to be seen.
