If there’s no debate because Trump took his ball and went home? Yeah it’ll be seen as his fault. There’s still a decent chance he’s posturing right now and will ultimately participate though. Because giving up an opportunity to change the state of the race when his best polls have him down 10 and we’re starting to see Biden +18’s would be a strange strategy.

I mean, I get the superstition, but literally what in the past two weeks could have gone differently that would have been better for Biden? And don’t say Trump dying, because that would have been worse for Biden then the shitshow of trump taking his joyride and then whataboutting the fucking Flu after 210,000 people have died. Yeah he can still lose, I get it.
As every parent with a toddler knows, the appropriate response to a tantrum is to ignore the child. Negotiating with the child validates the poor behavior. I fully expect Joe to say “OK!” and move on.

She’s not great off the cuff. If you watched her past debates it was noticeable.
I think, overall, she handled the pressure well enough. Pence talking past his time was a huge mistake on his part.

And if you believe that waiver holds up if the commission knowingly allows a Covid+ person into the debate stage in a town hall format with no fucking mask on I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

Also Trump’s boycott of that debate hurt him in the polls at the time. I think we’re probably close to hitting the floor of Trump’s support, so I doubt this moves the race to like a Biden+20 or anything like that, but it sure as shit isn’t going to help him.

I reckon he wants to do a rally instead, as Brian Stelter says… I agree with you that it will hurt him a little bit, but there’s not much left to steal from Trump, most left are in the Cult.
This is fine. The news cycle will be that Trump claims to be healthy enough to run the country but he won’t do a Zoom debate??? The president can’t adjust to changing events??? Another Trump Temper Tantrum???
They all deserve Covid. They are playing Russian covid roulette.
Also isn’t the next debate supposed to be a town hall? lol at having that live with potus covid

Let me make sure I understand this post.
You’re saying that the Arkansans, who are the hillbillies, who are less cultured, less advanced, less enlightened, have somehow rendered the Californians the boorish louts?
Wait wat? That makes zero sense.
Trump just keeps on making own goals. Best play is just to shut up and do the debate. Now all the talk will be on him being afraid to take questions from citizens and him having covid. Brilliant strategy.

Its not strategy, its narcissistic rage.
