I'm torn. On one hand, debates should take place to show knowledge/professionalism/action plans, etc. Also, it showcases (yet again) what a fucking idiot he is. On the other hand, he hasn't done a debate so far for this presidential race, so why start now? It's been nice hearing about him slightly less.

Also....how the fuck are debates not somehow mandatory to end up in the presidential race?

debates haven't been legit for decades and since then they progressively get worse

They aren't even debates. Just people yelling over each other for sound bytes and some TV time.

"Will you shut up, man!" Remember how their last debate played out. It'll be worse this time around.

Neither has officially won their party's respective nominations. There is plenty of time, and there will be debates.

The primaries are what I was referring to. I understand there's time for actual candidate debates.

Oh then yeah, I agree with you, Trump and Haley should debate. I'm not sure anything is gained having Biden debate any challengers.

On the other hand, he hasn't done a debate so far for this presidential race

It is way too early for R vs. D debates. Why would Biden debate him? Biden is handily beating Dean Phillips. Trump needs to defeat Haley first. It's not Biden fault Haley is still in it.

At this point, the only ones debating/wanting to debate are the losers.
