I'd be okay if J6 questions were off limits. I'd like Trump to answer questions about his weak-kneed answer to the establishment on Covid response, his Obama-like spending, his failure to secure the border, and a few other things that are not related to J6 bullshite.

If he announced he'd debate if everyone agreed that J6 was off the table, do you think his competitors would say no to that?

You say this as if you are somebody. He’s as relevant to this board as you are.

The question hasn’t been answered at all. Not one person has even attempted to give a good run at the questions posed by the editorial. Just a bunch of dick beating with people saying he’s already won so he doesn’t need to, despite there being real questions based on Trump’s mixed messages and issues during his first four years.

He’s going to have to answer them, whether now or in the General. You should all want him to take the beating in a primary he’s already going to win so he isn’t getting slammed with reality for the first time in the first presidential debate.

I'm not claiming anything. I'm simply suggesting that if Trump wanted to debate but (with good reason) wanted J6 off the table, it would be interesting to see what his competitors would agree to in order to accommodate him.

What a wonderful straw man you've created there. Nobody has even suggested that they won't vote for him because he's skipping debates.

For someone in his position, i.e. not in the White House, he might want to use this time period to expand his base and heal some wounds. Since according to you he has the nomination locked up and therefore has nothing to lose.

Why Is Donald Trump Afraid to Debate?


Ya know this stupid question has been irritating me all day. It's akin to this:

You: Why are you afraid to check your bank account today, are you scared you bounced some checks?

Me: Bro there is $100,000 in my account. I have no need to check it today, for bouncing checks in particular. Why would I waste my time?

You: Well I think you are scared and you should just check your account 10 times today just to show you aren't scared!

Me: frick off a-hole!

And there you have it, this is pretty much how much Trump cares about engaging in this ridiculous debate coming up.

It’s pretty simple. My first question to you was rhetorical.

quote:

No, no I don’t think any of the OPs questions have been answered by you. Nor has trump really answered many of them. Remove debate from the equation. These are perfectly reasonable question to be answered by a candidate.

quote:

Not sure the relevance of this one but I will tie in the fellatio remark. Here was your chance to help out DTJ, but first you have to get off your knees and stop blowing him for a minute. OP wants to vote for DTJ, but feels as a candidate he should answer some lingering questions concerning his candidacy. Wether it be in a debate or long form interview. My point is, instead of insulting original OP, maybe take a shot at answering some of his questions. Is that not the point of politics? To persuade one to see their side and buy into their ideas? Nah, you blew it though….. you may resume the position back on your knees, DTJ is waiting.

They would hammer him on J6 under those circumstances, even if everything that they said were a blatant lie. The MSM would support the false narratives, you would link them as being factual, and Trump would now have to regain votes that he once had in his pocket.

He would be a fool to subject himself to that possibility (probability).

That’s probably why you want it. TDS.

What purpose does it serve for Trump to debate anyone? Especially people with 1% of the electorate?

His opponents in the GOP simply want opportunities to attack him in a public venue, with no cost attached.

Let the 1% candidates spend their money (or someone else’s) on ads attacking Trump if they need to.

Trump has been POTUS already. People know who they are voting for and why.

Also, I’d rather Trump not emasculate DeSantis on a National stage. DeSantis isn’t a terrible governor. He doesn’t need to be destroyed on national tv.

quote:

• Abortion. Mr. Trump said this weekend that Gov. Ron DeSantis made a “terrible mistake” by signing Florida’s six-week abortion ban. Yet Mr. Trump refuses to explain where in pregnancy he’d draw the line, saying vaguely that “we’ll come up with a number.” How? By spinning a giant wheel, like on a TV game show, except marked with “10 weeks,” “15 weeks,” and so forth? The public takes the abortion question seriously, and Mr. Trump owes a serious answer.


How can you criticize a non-response?

quote:

• Covid-19. Whose pandemic policies worked? Mr. Trump has exchanged barbs with Mr. DeSantis, and a recent Trump advertisement intones that “Lockdown Ron” failed Florida. But Florida was one of the earliest states to reopen, and it became a mecca for many Americans fleeing the locked-down blue states.


What does “re-open” imply.
Who had ultimate authority to close / re-open in Florida. It wasn’t Trump.

quote:

• Trade and tariffs. Mr. Trump wants to impose a 10% tariff on all U.S. imports, which would cost Americans something like $300 billion a year, while inviting retaliation and alienating friends and allies. Sen. Tim Scott’s new economic plan says he would “avoid blunt trade wars with our friends and allies that hurt consumers and set us back in the mission of isolating China.” It sounds like a good subject to debate.


What debate?
Latin America would love to supplant China as the main trade partner of the U.S., even with a tariff. As for costing Americans 300 billion, I don’t see it.
More Americans working equals more Americans spending. The CCP has been bending the country over for decades. Why continue to support them?

quote:

• Foreign policy. Mr. Trump believes so much in the art of the deal that he has pledged to have the Ukraine war “solved in 24 hours.” Maybe his fans take this seriously and not literally, but he ought to explain what he means. Former national security adviser John Bolton wrote in his book that Mr. Trump signaled privately he wouldn’t defend Taiwan if China invaded. Is that what he thinks now?


Given his track record on foreign affairs, I’m not sure how he could be doubted at this point.

quote:

• Jan. 6, 2021. Was Mike Pence right, before and after the Capitol riot, to insist on counting the Electoral College votes for President Biden? During the first GOP debate, the consensus on the stage was yes. Mr. Trump should give his response, including his answer to why his contrary theory wouldn’t let Vice President Kamala Harris reject Republican electors after the 2024 campaign.


If you have faith in the election process…yes.

If you have any semblance of intelligence and common sense - no.

quote:

• Age and competence. The public is understandably worried about the visible decline of Mr. Biden, who is 80 years old and would be 86 at the end of a second term. Yet Mr. Trump would be 82 at the end of his second term in 2029, and he isn’t exactly in shape to set records at the YMCA senior triathlon. Do the concerns about age not apply to him?


A make believe issue concerning DJT.

Let me guess, you’re an expert based on how he drank water.

quote:

If Mr. Trump wasn’t able to tame the federal leviathan the first time, why should Republicans believe he can do it next time?


They shouldn’t. Then again, “Republicans,” and their leftist Allie’s, are the main reason that he didn’t.

quote:

• Electability. If the GOP fields a candidate from Mr. Biden’s generation, instead of someone more vigorous, wouldn’t it be giving up an advantage over the incumbent?


ALL of the GOP candidates outside of Trump are shite candidates. And I say that as someone that wants Ron to be president for 9 years, 364.25 days.
