I believe it's a good idea.
It would infuriate Democrats and the media.
I can see the media holding monologues with Biden alone on stage and him rambling on and on and growing angrier and angrier that Trump is ignoring him and isn't taking him seriously.
Whether he does or not it’s a good idea to make the media wonder.
This is brand new territory! The dims are HORRIBLE in brand new territory! They’ll make mistakes, since they are checker players on the POTUS chess board. This is innovative! This is genius!
Great idea!...lol..the Dems could beat up on eachother and the moderator could pick the winner by the softball or hardball questions they asked of each...
are Rachel Madcow and Jim Acosta available as Mods??..they both are known as honest and hard hitting journalists...should be fun to watch..Id tune in....../s,
I think he should hold a rally every time a debate is scheduled!
Early negotiating position on who will run the debates.
Has any other incumbent president done this?
It would certainly be a shock for many, though I get why he may not consider ‘debates’ necessary.
We rarely allow the candidates to have a full on, honest debate these days. The moderators will often spoon feed certain remarks or responses to their favored candidate.
Those same moderators will experience ‘spontaneous deafness’
when the opposing candidate scores a few points.
As some have stated, this is probably a negotiating tactic by Trump. The media and the DEMs need to have Trump debate far more than Trump does. Watch the left suggest FIVE debates. If Trump is actually thinking about skipping the presidential debates, I wouldn’t blame him one bit.
The COPD is infested with democRATS and RINO’s
Refuse to participate, hold a rally instead.
I think by skipping the debates he has nothing to lose. At the time the debates will be scheduled most people will likely know how they will vote, and it will likely be a landslide in Trump’s favor, assuming it’s a fair election.
The debates will likely be the nastiest, most one sided mess in the history of debates. He has nothing to gain by attending this circus.
All Trump has to do in just run on his record and let the left have their hissy fits.
Not a good idea. What would be a good idea would be holding out against the leftist media running the debates. We need at least neutral organizers, moderators, etc.
Shouldn’t be trusting his leaking advisors....unless it’s intentional...
Before dropping out, Trump should make this very reasonable suggestion: Four moderators. Two are picked by the Republican candidate and two are picked by the Democrat candidate
Nothing could be fairer. And if that suggestion is rejected, then Trump should drop out.
Have debates without moderators
Obtain a private venue.
Bring in real moderators, not prog hacks and biased media.
Mark Levin, Candace Owens, Liz Wheeler, Steven Crowder, perhaps one more.
Invite their nominee after they figure out who this will be.
Have a real debate with honest timekeepers, no advance question passing, no trick podiums for the prog nominee.
Kick back and watch PDJT slice the prog up.
.
I tend to believe that it is a good idea he go AWOL on the debates!
Think of this... the viewing audience would be low and he could hold Trump Rallies instead...go to the people like he already has!!
The media is FAKE and he knows it.
Well as a minimum Trump should refuse to participate in any debate hosted by CNN. Just like a college football team can get banned from the following year bowl games if caught cheating, so CNN should be banned from hosting any 2020 debates since they were caught cheating, giving Hillary the questions in advance, in 2016.
More fake sources.
If Plugs is the nominee, I think watching him debate Trump would be hilarious, enormously entertaining. If you thought Gore was a buffoon when he debated Bush, just imagine the epic level of buffoonery from Plugs.
I would predict Trump would trigger Plugs over and over to the point where Plugs would melt down and try to take a swing at Trump LMAO LMAO.
