By skipping the GOP debates, Trump gets the talking heads on record commenting on a candidate who skips debates. Then when Biden bows out of the 2024 debates...

He’s not debating because Fatass Chris and low energy Pence are going to make him comment about his ongoing legal issues. Then the prosecutors will have the excuse of requesting a gag order.

He’s up by 30-40 points. There’s no point.

Nah, it's nothing but tic-tac-toe, with him having the first move.

Only the daft don't understand what's going on here.

The debates can only hurt him. It would basically be him up there with 9 other candidates spending an hour teeing off on him. He knows it's completely loaded and charged, with the moderators just serving him up to these desperate candidates looking for anyway to gain ground.

He has absolutely no reason to debate these people because they're dramatically beneath him, pollwise and otherwise.

Yeah, I see no upside for him, none. Don’t give your enemies, anything, especially the ones that get ratings if he shows up

His handlers know he's too stupid to avoid being baited into violating his gag order.

He's already called his 'judge' deranged.

Melt.

Yeah! Not like he's constantly commenting on his ongoing legal issues in nearly every Truth Social post or anytime he ends up in front of a microphone.

Hiding in the basement is an effect strategy when nobody likes the opposition. Of course you run the risk of idiots on message boards crying about how the guy who hid in the basement didn't really win.

He is running as an incumbent. No need to debate.

That simple.

lets talk voters.
Trump needs voters outside the Republican party to win. If you don't know that you don't know anything.
So not debating to most non Trumpbots voters =
