Donald Trump pulled the plug on his own promoted debate with Senator Bernie Sanders. Trump's suggestion was to keep the news media's attention on his campaign and the media fell for it big time, especially the Fox News, MSNBC and CNN and of course those networks are just continuing their love affair with Trump and he is their lead story almost every night.
Sanders wanted the debate to try and embarrass Hillary Clinton and was willing to support the Trump debate circus. Sanders still has a problem understanding he had a fair chance against Clinton in the primaries and lost fair and square. The voters spoke loud and clear with their ballot. Hillary Clinton had the best comment at the time the debate story broke when Chuck Todd of MSNBC asked Hillary what she thought about the debate idea. She just LAUGHED because she knew what Trump was trying to do.
Trump will continue to use the news media as one of his little pawns and the media will continue to do his bidding. The public should remember NBC had a Trump television show and they are inseparable. And that really says it all.
