Fuck Trump, he didn’t even show up to the Republican primary debates. If Biden debates him it’ll just give Trump more speaking time and publicity.
At this point, it’s just hard to believe there are many people who are actually undecided. I’m sure there are lots who say they are. And it’s really more about Trump than about Biden. Of the people who would ever consider voting for a Democrat, some love Biden, some aren’t excited by him, a few hate him. There’s a whole spectrum. With Trump, I think it’s more binary, even among Republicans. They generally love him or loath him. I’m not sure I’ve heard anyone recently say “Hmm, that Trump guy says some things I like, but I’m not sure if he has my vote or not.”
I guess what I’m saying is that I doubt a debate would change anyone’s mind unless one of them said something to really alienate their base. “I want to see them discuss their differences on foreign policy before I decide.” I don’t think so. It’s probably more risk than benefit for either of them.
I don’t think you have to worry about it. While Trump claims he wants to debate, he will refuse when offered, whining about the “liberal media’s” rules that he finds unfair (which will probably include the ability to cut his mic when he resorts to his only strategy of talking over everyone else).
Recently answered this in another thread: by debate Trump means he will childishly shout over anyone he’s on stage with constant bullshit and juvenile rhetoric - no thanks. having seen trump in debates I honestly question anyone silly enough to try, he’ll never ‘debate’, he just gish gallops bullshit until his minders come to change his diapers.
Unfortunately “debates” are always moderated by spineless curs who are too cowardly to cut a mic or even question a blatant lie.
Yup, ‘moderator’ in the last few have been useless talking heads.
we need Pop-up Video for politics.
Supreme Court can’t make you engage with an insurrectionist. Diapered coward is not a legitimate candidate for office, don’t work to legitimize him by going through the motions of what the non-traitors do while running.
“We’re gonna pass on Donny’s circus. I’ve got a country to run and also, I’d feel guilty taking his focus away from prep for whichever of his 90 criminal charges he’s whining about in court this week”
It is a catch 22 for Biden he doesn’t debate Trump - he looks weak. They hit him on being old and weak. He debates Trump - Trump look like a more legitimate candidate and Trump get to hijack the debate to spew bs.
Not debating is probably the better of the two but both is a loss. The best Biden can do is try to say that Trump won’t debate on good faith but that despite being true will only get so much traction.
I do not think this opinion is unpopular lol
I believe it’s currently unpopular. It may become more popular though the closer we get to the general election though.
I completly agree. Trumps not running in good faith.
I actually agree. Analogies about mud wrestling with a pig and playing chess with a pigeon come to mind…
And then there’s the added problem of giving him false legitimacy by acting like he’s just another legitimate candidate rather than a career criminal fascist conman who should never have been allowed anywhere near ANY public office.
If asked, he should just say,“Insurrectionists can’t hold office anyway. What’s the point?”
Trump is clinically insane
Dementia/syphilis brain rot
It’ll just collapse into one side devolving into name calling and disconnected phrases, while the other party is trying to speak. The moderator wont shut down the man child because ratings. At this point both sides have already firmly made their choice - these are people we already know.
Yup. Look at the last debate between the two: Trump doesn’t debate, he interrupts, shouts over, and gish gallops. You can’t debate someone who has no intention of respecting the process.
Donald showed up specifically so he could expose Biden to coronavirus. A less cowardly network would have threatened that he must uphold the rules on distancing or they’ll give the spot entirely to Biden.
I hope to high heaven the debate happens, just so I can watch Trump glitch out, mix up Biden with Obama, and shit his depends on stage.
Biden should challenge Trump to an old fashioned duel. It Biden wins and Trump is killed, he can claim presidential immunity…
No, no that is a terrible idea. It will just make Biden look old. He needs to challenge him to laser pistols at dawn. That way he looked young and hip.
This a tough one. I am not sure it’ll change any minds. I’ve already decided who I’m voting for and very little will change that.
Biden should definitely debate but he should take the correct dose of his best mental clarity pills first. Whatever they did during the last campaign that transformed him overnight.
