'The Donald' Makes Sanders an Unexpected Offer – But There's a Catch
North Dakota sealed the deal for Donald Trump, giving him the 1,237 delegates needed to win the Republican nomination.
The billionaire businessman is focusing on the General Election where he's expected to face the Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.
Now the gloves are off on both sides of the race as Clinton turns the fire on Trump.
"That means an unqualified loose cannon is within reach of the most powerful job in the world," Clinton said.
Although Clinton is still in a contentious primary battle with Bernie Sanders, she opted out of another debate with the Vermont senator.
That may have now opened the door the Democratic underdog to debate "The Donald" and that unexpected offer came on late night TV.
"You saw what I did for you? Bernie Sanders. You made it possible for us to have a very interesting debate," said Jimmy Kimmel, host of "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
But there's a price tag.
Trump says that debate with Sanders would have to raise at least $10 million for charity to support women's health issues before he would agree to do it.
"I think we'd get very high ratings. It should be in a big arena somewhere. And we could have a lot of fun with it," Trump remarked.
Clinton called the Sanders-Trump debate proposal "a joke" and said she is looking forward to debating Trump in the General Election campaign.
A debate stage without Clinton could give both men free shots at her decades-long resume in politics, reports the Political Observer.
