Ah yes...that's the spirit! Alienate a guy that's already voted for Trump before when he "lost." You guys are doing wonderfully...


I'm not here to convince anyone how to vote. I don't give a shite who you vote for.

Yeah and the choices during our lives have been so much better than back when there were no debates. Yeah, sure.

What a stupid analogy. So, the only debate tipping a vote may have been Kennedy v. Nixon. So, just like antibiotics the election of the Kennedy/LBJ ticket saved millions of lives.




Oh wait.

I mean. Fettermen won. I don’t like the current state of politics, but if we don’t play like the dems play we won’t ever win again.

then I guess the question isn't so much WILL I vote for him, but will I vote for him if he clearly doesn't even want me to?


Let me put your mind to rest. Trump doesn't know that you exist. So, he's not trying to be mean to you.
What pisses me off is posters here saying 'He's afraid'. Hell, the guy appears on Democrat run media like NBC all the time. That's not what fearful republicans do.
The logic of doing it is to be seen by Dem voters who only get negative news from the one show they watch...NBC.
There is no logic to debating republicans you are beating the hell out of.

but we all wind up worse off with him not willing to debate ideas.


Honestly, does it matter? Do you think he's going to bind himself to anything he might say during a debate?

Sadly, no, because he doesn’t stand for anything but Donald Trump.

And when he gets to the General and has to answer questions that he has awful answers to, we will all be worse off for his lack of participation in primary debates.

It's an interesting hypothetical that assumes a normal primary and a normal policy wonk candidate.

Did coffee and bananas get a tariff? I truly don't know if they did.


You are not paying attention. Trump wants "universal tariffs" on all imports. It is in his 2024 economic plan. This is what the writer in the OP's article is refering to.

He's probably just saying that because it plays well. Someone will sit him down and explain the reality of his proposal and he'll back off.

So, you're saying that lots of republican voters will say 'I was gonna vote Trump but he refused to debate so I'm voting for DeSantis?'
Well, if that's true then DeSantis will be ahead of Trump in the polls after the debates are held and the negative reaction takes place. Is that what you think is gonna happen?





Calm down there rain man. You read way to into that. I'm simply stating that he should give a shite because he wants your vote.

All that weak assed Cuck45 member, SDVTiger can say is......sorry Ronbots, Trump will be the nominee.

That guy couldn't debate the issues pointed out by you even if you allowed him to use google.

Looking forward to your point by point rebuttal of the OP's thoughts. Maybe it's buried in the thread and I missed it. If so, let me know what page.

They were rigged in 16’ and 20’ . Questions given to other candidates and it turns into a Trump bashing. He has a major lead and we all know where he stands and what he does. No need . The best president in history is the best president in history

And I'm just trying to explain that he doesn't make decisions based on wanting the votes of such a weird section of voters:
ie, "People who may not vote for me just because I refuse to debate in a primary I've already won."

How many people is that? 3? 7?
BTW, if I was any calmer I'd be dead.

Serious question..... How dumb are you? A voter, who hasn't made up his mind, asked a series of questions about the leading candidate and your hot take is to insult him?

And you guys wonder why many believe you're emotionally-charged idiots.

It's funny superfans in this thread argue he's not afraid, fear is not a factor, and then explain that Trump won't debate because he only has something to lose in doing so. That's called fear.

I understand the strategy. It worked for Katie Hobbs in Arizona, and it's working for Trump now. It's unfortunate for the electorate because before the Republican primary is etched in stone, we should be given the opportunity to hear Trump defend his record and answer some grownup questions.

I'm not stumping for him. I have never said 'And that's why you should vote for Donald Trump' on any thread...ever.
But I do have to excuse myself. It's getting close to 4 pm and that's when they come and get me.
