Everyone knows who and what he is at this point. What’s the point of a debate? And why give his opponent the exposure?
I like your thoughts on this.
Let his opponent do three townhalls with questions from a the first 30 people in the Staten Island phonebook.
You don't think his opponent isn't already going to have exposure out the wazoo? The reason is that Trump does not do well in a debate format, even the phony baloney debates we hold for presidential campaigns. He has nothing to gain from being on stage with his opponent and more to lose by appearing than by blowing them off. But he will need to have a coherent and believable reason for why he is the first candidate since 1976 to refuse to participate.
