Fuck Trump, he didn’t even show up to the Republican primary debates. If Biden debates him it’ll just give Trump more speaking time and publicity.

    It is a catch 22 for Biden he doesn’t debate Trump - he looks weak. They hit him on being old and weak. He debates Trump - Trump look like a more legitimate candidate and Trump get to hijack the debate to spew bs.

    Not debating is probably the better of the two but both is a loss. The best Biden can do is try to say that Trump won’t debate on good faith but that despite being true will only get so much traction.

      Biden should just require that the border bill passes before the debate.

        In terms of a bill making it through congress, Biden has zero say in the matter until it reaches his desk.

          You would think Trump has zero say in the matter, but the speaker of the house followed his instructions.
