That is not what he is talking about.

Literally Trump last night said he did a fantastic job on covid.

He was never forced to be challenged on all of the crap shite he did, and he never will be.

It was definitely the right call, but it was extremely obvious, so definitely not brilliant.

Trump is not unscathed. He would be if he took a page from the Bushs' book and started talking about a thousand points of light or a kinder gentler nation. Then he could lure in the same dumb suburban women and win in a walk.

Is he going to run from Biden as well?


Biden will be hiding and the only one running away. Trump's decision to avoid the debates during the primaries proved to be the right move.

Fully expect Biden to avoid any face to face debate with Trump. And yes, he will use Trump's play card, but that won't hurt Trump in the long run anyway. Only a repeat of a stolen election can do that.

It would be a mistake for Biden to get on stage with Trump again, because there is no way Trump is stupid enough to try the pit bull strategy again after it backfired so badly in 2020.

Any rational voter would be concerned about this.

Which is why he need to challenge Biden to debate every chance he gets.

Trump didn’t lose anything my boycotting primary debates. He would have basically been the target of a gang assault.

Dodging a Presidential debate is a much bigger deal IMO as it’s the standard. People that don’t pay attention will take notice if Biden refuses.

Rational is the operative word in my statement. Trump superfans are just like the TDS-addled liberals-emotionally charged and loony. They're just on opposite ends of the Trump is God/antichrist spectrum.

He needs to challenge Biden to a debate a month and just smear the stage with that bumbling potato.


He can challenge all he wants to. By not debating in the primaries, he gave Biden the cover to not debate for the general.

And he's not going to be running against Biden anyway. I'd almost bet on it.

Great idea, because your side and the GOPe would just say Trump was rude to an aging POTUS and wasn't polite during the debate.

I would like Trump to answer on Covid. Would he do the same thing again? Would he let lifelong bureaucrats decide to shut the country down and allow them to force all doctors to abide by certain treatments?
Is he going to deal with the spending? Will he correct his own spending he di in his first term?

At this point all we can do is project that he would do things different, flush the DOJ, stop the deficit spending, etc?

No.

He and his campaign (RNC) need to propose 2 debates.

One moderated by Mark Levin and the second moderated by Rachel Madow.

First debate will have Thomas Sowell and Paul Krugman asking the question.

Second debate will have Tucker Carlson and Joy Behar asking the questions.

Each debate will be as follows:

Questioner asks question and follow up to each candidate before the other gets to. 4 turns each per round (so 8 questions for each candidate)).

Each round a different subject. Candidates will only know the subject areas and the questioners can prepare their own questions. 4 rounds per debate (32 total questions/follow ups).

Each candidate will get softballs and chin music each round, multiple times.

Trump has lots of faults.

Compared to the last several Presidents we've had, those faults are minimal.

Also, he is the only sane choice in the election.
