Donald Trump says he’d be delighted to debate Bernie Sanders:

Game on. I look forward to debating Donald Trump in California before the June 7 primary. — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) May 26, 2016

This is just sad. Trump is the master of modern publicity, and he knows perfectly well that a debate like this would (a) help Trump and (b) hurt Hillary. That’s it. That’s all it would do. And Bernie is all in.

Is Bernie really so aggrieved by losing the Democratic nomination that he’s now willing to explicitly campaign on Trump’s behalf? Because that’s all this is. What happened to the old Bernie Sanders?
