There is no upside to Biden debating him. Trump will just spout nonsense to get sound bites

Biden is like Trump's kryptonite. Trump always tries to get in the other guys head.

Can't get in Biden's head...Bidens not in there, good luck dude

  • Shane Gillis

That guy has the BEST impersonation I've ever seen, it's repulsive! Not just the voice, but the hands, the sucking air through the teeth, the head tilts and mouth movements, all spot-on. You know how you have to wonder about the mental state of horror game/movie artists looking at reference material all day? Same feeling about Shane Gillis.

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

will just spout nonsense

You spelled lies wrong

There is a distinction between nonsense and lies though, and it’s not intent. Trump nonsense is closer to just insanity and dementia than lies. For telling lies, first you have to make sense.

Even his lies don't make sense at this point. They are just incoherent rambling that is indistinguishable from his "normal" incoherent rambling.

Biden declining is a win for Trumps fans though

But will that really change anything?

Not at all, unless Biden specifically says WHY he wont decline.

Of course, if Biden gives the right reason then obviously all the Trump fans will vote for him instead. /s

It may not convert trumpers to biden, but it might also grow more trumpers

Why would he debate someone who is not yet the Republican nominee? He isn’t declining all opportunities to debate up until the election. The only thing that debating him now would accomplish is cementing Trump as the de facto Republican nominee, which is obviously suboptimal.

He wants to do it to appear as the clear Rep nominee. He doesn't get to step over Haley if Biden's not down.

Im not disagreeing, but trumpers will say Biden is scared and be emboldened.

Trumpers are a religion at this point. If you base your strategy on them you'll lose.

It sounds more like Trump is afraid to engage with Nikki Haley
