Don't see how this has a upside for Bernie.
Well said.That's a very simplified analogy. People like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, etc. Can only do what they do because they have the money in the first place.
Elon Musk can only do crazy feats of technology because he has the cash upfront. Many, many, many charities and business explicitly been set up to help the less well off, those suppressed, and just generally to improve the world.
Now tell me how these people are bad because they have more money than you or I?
Also under your analogy suggests everyone should have the same number of "pieces of bread", something that has never, ever been achieved at any sort of large scale. It also assumes that everyone works the same ammount which is not true. Many lower income individuals are hard working as hell and some rich are lazy, but that does not mean we should throw out the idea of more pay for more and harder work. There will always be people who make more than others, and that's ok. What's not ok is when it gets out of hand, which is something that absolutely needs to be dealt with. But it cannot be dealt with if people are screaming that when people have more money they are evil.
why does the first point matter? Bernie is beat, he'll never go up against trump in the GE.
There's so many different possible scenarios that can happen including third party run.
No, he can't run third party he's missed too many state deadlines.There's so many different possible scenarios that can happen including third party run.
Would be better to have candidates debate that are actually running against each other.
This is pointless and just feeds into the turning politics into entertainment/reality TV. Hope it doesn't happen.

Ah, well then there's still a lot of different scenarios that can happen. Also a possible 2020 run. I say keep it up until the very end. Even if it just helps to convert a couple more people for the future.
Bernie Sanders will be 78 when 2020 rolls around. Serving two terms, that would put him at 86 when he left office.
He cannot run in 2020. He was already teetering on being too old for 2016.
Very exciting. Wondering how they will do. The two men have never met. I've always wanted to see Bernie defend himself against the right-wing machine. Will he be up to snuff or will Trump eat him alive? It could go in many different ways, but if the debate does happen, it would be historic.
The Socialist Atheist Insurgent with the largest small-donations grassroots campaign in history against one of the worlds notorious and infamous business men who have fought off everyone.
You cannot say that both men are not incredible at having beat all expectations. They were destined to face off against each other.
Can Trump steal supporters from Sanders, can Sanders steal supporters from Trump? This is the risk in politics.
What they should do if they have this debate is also to invite Jill Stein and Gary Johnson. People who have been barred from the topic of conversation due to their lack of funds.
This election shows you how utterly dumb and incompetent the voting system is. I hope the RNC and the DNC listen to John Oliver and actually say that after this election they will change the way voting works in America.
What if Trump Chris Christies him?
"There goes crazy Bernie again with the same prepackaged speech"
I feel like there's only a very small chance that this matters in any way and a very large chance that it is incredibly entertaining.

I think trumps strategy would be to praise Bernie Sanders and how authentic he is in an effort to sway over some sander supporters over to him after Bernie loses denomination. I already know of a good number of people that would switch if Bernie doesn't win the nomination

Bernie now as pathetic and desperate for attention as Trump confirmed?
Poor Hillary passing on all that free air time. She gets shitted on by Trump and Bernie in the same debate 3 weeks out from Cali is a bad idea for her.
Bernie appearing on the same platform as Trump will just get him way more attention, only loser here is Hillary.
I hope this goes down.
Why does this make him as pathetic and desperate as Trump? Can Trunp even be described as that? So not very much at all?
Ideally, they both make fun of Hillary for an hour.
Oh god please let this happen. It would be amazing. Three hours of Hillary getting systematically destroyed from both sides.
If Bernie and Trump look in any way aligned on Hillary, I think it'll do wonders for her campaign. Any rub-off from Trump to Bernie isn't a good look for him. Two old men ganging up on the woman of the campaign - one of whom is already a marked pig wrt women - is an easy spin for her.
He can if he runs as an established party's candidate, like the Green party.No, he can't run third party he's missed too many state deadlines.
Because he has lost. I'm not sure why this isn't being considered.
Bernie Sanders did not win the democratic nomination. He has lost. He could win California 90-10 - and he still loses. The race is over.
It's over - HIllary and Donald are the nominees. So all this has the potential to do is damage the Democratic Party and hurt their chances of stopping Trump in November.
