The Debate That Wasn't

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will not debate Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, he announced Friday, as he decided it would be "inappropriate" to debate the Democratic insurgent, who is far behind Hillary Clinton in their nominating contest.

In a statement, Trump ended nearly 48-hours of speculation that such a debate would take place, after he seemingly accepted an invitation to debate Sanders offered by late night host Jimmy Kimmel.
