On “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Wednesday night, Republican presumptive nominee Donald J. Trump said he would be willing to debate Democratic underdog Bernie Sanders before the California primary on June 7. Almost immediately afterward, Sanders accepted the challenge via Twitter.
Game on. I look forward to debating Donald Trump in California before the June 7 primary.

No further information about the debate is available yet, but Sanders himself will appear on Kimmel’s show Thursday night.
Alas, it seems all hoped too soon.
Multiple sources tell @Cbsnews that Trump was kidding about debating Sanders & it will never happen. (H/t @stevechaggaris and @MajorCBS) — Sopan Deb (@SopanDeb) May 26, 2016
Nevertheless, the #TrumpBernieDebate is still popular on Twitter. Here is PJ Media’s list of the 14 best tweets. Enjoy! (Check out the Star Wars one, number 2.)
