Sanders on Trump debate: ‘Maybe we’ll get a call … and he’ll say yes again’

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders in an interview scheduled to air Sunday blasted Donald Trump over the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s refusal to debate him.

{mosads}“Look, Donald Trump said he wanted to go forward, then he changed his mind, said ‘no,’ then he changed his mind and said ‘yes,’ then he changed his mind and said ‘no,’ ” Sanders said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

“Maybe we’ll get a call in five minutes and he’ll say ‘yes’ again.”

Sanders said the flip-flopping shows “who Donald Trump is.”

“I think the American people should be very concerned about somebody who keeps changing his mind not only on this debate, but on virtually every issue he’s been asked about.”

Sanders also pushed back on Trump’s characterization of the Democratic nominating process as “totally rigged.”

“I’ve been very touched by Donald Trump’s love for me. But, John, you know, with all due respect, I think there may be some aspect of this which he thinks will advantage himself.” Sanders said. “So I do appreciate his love and his compassion for me, but I don’t really accept his words.

“I think it’s just a dumb process, which has certainly disadvantaged our campaign,” he added.
