If anything, it’s the Dem candidate that should avoid the debates. At best they mean nothing, and much more likely they are a negative free roll. No one with a functioning brainstem could have thought he won the last time they occurred but it didn’t do anything to stifle his progress.
His clan meetings are as incoherent as ever and none on his side care. Another round of debates wouldn’t make a difference if the vast sums of content that we have to demonstrate his stupidity hasn’t already.
My memory is vague but didn’t he skip some of the Republican primary debates in favor of holding a rally in Bumblefuck, PA? I think it’s very possible he just skips the general election debates.
kind of a reasonable point, absolutely nobody who votes Trump is going to give a shit but dem voters go OH NO SO AND SO LIKES ONE THING I DON"T I"M GONNA STAY HOME
Disagree. There are a lot of fed up people sick and tired of Trump. Just him being in the news every day is aggravating for those that casually follow politics.
moderator: will you jail and separate refugee families?
trump: we don’t separate, we don’t separate. obama put the kids in the cages, i stopped it. and we’re stronger on the border than anyone, there are muy malo hermanos flooding over the border and they’re going to permanently separate you from your promising young white children
dem: sorry but i’m going to have to ask you to completely disregard everything he just said because he lied about all of it.
audience: yeah ok that’s exactly what you’d say if he were right
dem: if you study the projections from the bureau of labor statistics and the congressional budget office–
trump: the numbers have never been better for me, check the numbers! check the numbers!
dem: the websites are xxxxx.gov and xxxxx.gov, please audience look for yourself, it proves that trump is a liar!
trump: if you read the website, you’d find out that the numbers are the best of any president in history! read the website! read the website!
audience: we’re not doing homework, 2/3 of us barely made it out of high school
He definitely skipped one b/c he thought Megyn Kelly was too tough (and “bleeding out of her… wherever”).
Instead, he held a televised fundraiser for wounded vets that was a little grifty and contributed to getting his foundation shut down.
[Money quote from the first article, courtesy of Steve King, "King said he was hopeful that Iowans would see Trump’s move as little more than “a childish tantrum” and ultimately decide not to get onboard with a candidate whose presidency King said would resemble an “unpredictable roller coaster.”
“It’s appalling to think of the hubris of Donald Trump,” King said. “It’s time to be adults about this. Can you imagine a commander-in-chief, a president of the United States throwing tantrums like this for four or eight years?”]
He skipped a debate because Megyn Kelly was a big meany. So yeah, if he can find excuses to skip a fucking Fox debate, he can find excuses to skip any debate.
You’re right but I can’t click the heart cause it makes me sad.
I’m not advocating that she should have punched Trump in the face during a debate.
Yeah but the media jumps every single time. We know who would fall for the banana in the tailpipe.
I was on team no debates as well. Debates don’t get him anything. He only wants controlled opportunities to spew.
He would much rather have a big rally on his own than a debate and his supporters do too. He had to do the debates last time, he doesn’t this time and he won’t.
I wonder if msm will show his stupid rallys again once campaign season is in full swing. Plus he will use the idea of a debate as a rock to pummel the democrats with his supporters.
The problem is he can force the media’s hand and get them to cover his rallys.
