Trump says he will skip GOP presidential primary debates

Anyone who votes for any of the 90's oligarchs is deranged.

TDS cuts both ways these days.

He's going to jail. Write it on your f'ing foreheads.

The public knows who I am & what a successful Presidency I had,” Trump wrote on his social media site. “I WILL THEREFORE NOT BE DOING THE DEBATES!”

I read this in Frank Costanzas voice.

Anyway, his lose really... I don't see why he wouldn't get involved, but he does seem to feel confident enough I guess.

It's funny how Putin waited until Biden was in the White House to go into Ukraine. That's only because Putin knows, as does the rest of the world, that Biden is weak. He also knew that Trump was a wild card, being that he wasn't a politician, and had no idea what would happen if he made that same move while Trump was President. Realistically, I see Ukraine as none of our business. The United States should be staying out of it. But 10% for the big guy.

So Putin is scared of Trump but at the same time Trump would've done nothing to stop Putin?

Denying that Trump had/has no policy only means that you have your fingers in your ears, and blinders on your eyes.

Prove me wrong. List some of Trump's stated policies.

The claim was, everyone already knows Trump's policies. I don't think that's true, and I don't think the public is aware of what policies Trump has suggested he would employ.
www.usatoday.com...

The public would benefit from Trump and these policy suggestions on a debate stage.

You mean all the policies Trump tried to implement but was blockcocked by not just Democrats but RINOs, and the killing of support from John and Jane Doe by MSM and its propaganda and outright lies?

Trump had policies. They just never saw the light of day. If one DID slip through, it was drug to a courtroom and contested, usually on the grounds "Orange Man Bad".

So Trump was an ineffective leader?

Nobody has said there won't be a general debate and a VP debate.

Both Trump and Biden have said no primary debate. This is the way it's traditionally done with the incumbent party. Trump is so far ahead in the polls in the GOP there is NO UPSIDE to him debating. I agree with his strategy.

And when MSN tells everyone that Donald Trump has no path to 270; Joe Biden and his VP will make the case that they are the incumbent and so far ahead in the general election that they have no obligation to debate... just like Donald Trump in the primaries.

That all is true but you are forgetting a very major aspect.
Trump is facing numerous felony charges. Just facing not actually conviction of those, with that in mind he really should man up and put his two feet on the stage and defend himself.
He won't because of one thing.
And again I won't say what is on the internet. But he will never get on the stage with a perceived threat.

Just post the clip, so everyone can hear what she really said.

As far as I can tell, the only lasting impact of Trump's 4 years is myocarditis and turbo cancer.

So he was quite effective at leading the depop and that's about it.

Fear. This is what fear looks like.

No not at all. He's right. Everyone already knows him so why debate with those who are so far below him in the polls? There is no upside for him to do so. Him being in the debates would only give his opponents a platform against him and he wouldn't get out the narrative he wants.

I fully expect Biden to find a reason not to debate Trump.
Biden is an old man and can't handle debates.
BTW - I think the BIden vs Trump polls are closer than you think.
but Biden will 'win'.

Individual and corporate tax cuts which put a lot more money into people's pockets

I don't live in the past. Biden did a lot of stuff during his tenure too.

I'm not talking about what Trump did 8 years ago when he was president. He's running for president now, for 2024. What are his policies should he re-take the Oval Office? And don't tell me he lowed a bunch of rich people's taxes 7 years ago and that's all we need to know!

What are Trump's 2024 policies, that, supposedly, everyone already knows about?

Weak? Because he won't play their ballshot games?

GTFOH with that, he's showing strength through resistance.

An absolute buffoon became a president and absolutely wrecked the America that we once knew. An army of buffoons want to see it happen again.

Trump became president and the Liberal buffoon army wrecked the America that we once knew.

Fixed it for you.

Will you come back to apologize when it doesn’t happen?
Will you leave the country for real this time when he gets elected?

a reply to: LordAhriman

You crow about the situation we are in.

Only one man is running for election. TRUMP

People will vote for him, or against him.

Biden isn't winning. It's another referendum on Trump.

Polls lie as bad as donkeys.

But you think this situation is a-ok.

Why cant y'all pick a candidate that is actually running for the office on their own merits? Oh yeah.,. NVM

a reply to: Freeborn

No, not at all. We have seen an increase in primary debates, but the incumbent almost never attends, because there are no serious challengers.

Why aren't people upset that Joe wont be debating RFK.

I've asked this at least 4 times on these Trump outrage threads, and so far it's crickets.

Here is a novel thought Id bet you haven't had:

What if Putin knew that Ukraine had the kompromat on Biden, and that they were absolutely going to leverage their ownership of the American POTUS?

My son always said when I reminded him growing up to never throw the first punch. He would say, mom, if the fight is going to happen, you better stun your opponent BEFORE he gets the courage up to hit you first. Because often thats the guy that wins.

Im pretty sure Putin knew that Russia was going to enter a proxy war with the US if that is what the anti-Russians in Ukraine want.

a reply to: Threadbare

At no point in my comment, which you quoted, did I say Trump would have done nothing. I said Putin didn't know what he would do, being that he wasn't a politician, leaving his response unpredictable.
