Honestly, he'd be a moron to attend! All he could do is boost the other candidates with his presence.

If his voters were sane, you'd be correct.

Unfortunately, you're not correct.

He could probably shit his pants live on stage and wear it as a hat and they would cheer and follow his lead.

It would start a trend of conservative influencers shitting themselves on Tiktok and trying to convince everyone that it is somehow "owning the libs"

"Let's all shit our pants so the Libs have to smell it!"

Very similar to my favorite analogy of "all of America is a big community pool that everyone shares, and the Republicans keep pissing in it non-stop just to spite the Democrats."

Not sure if your being sarcastic, but it's actually solid strategy for him to no show at this point. He's in the lead by a mile. We know he's mentally determining. It's likely he won't do himself any favors in a debate. Meanwhile his presence just gets more opportunity for his followers to see alternatives and question him. There's almost no upside for him to attend.

I'm being serious. He has nothing to gain, he'd just be letting the other clout chasers ride his coat tails.
