Trump says he will skip GOP presidential primary debates

a reply to: Stopstealingmycountry



Ironically, both candidates could simply be fighting to stay out of jail.

What a country!

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

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

That's not cool man. A true patriot never leaves and you know that.
Now make the proper argument and be the proper person in the room.

And none of whom are ever going to jail.

You mean all the policies Trump tried to implement but was blockcocked by not just Democrats but RINOs,

Trump had policies. They just never saw the light of day.

Did he?

After he (failed to) repealed the Affordable Care Act, what was his health care plan, that never say the light of day, gonna be? What was it?

What was Trump's infrastructure plan, that also never saw the light of day? What was it?

It was "No Plan". That's what his policy on those things were.

So, what are his policies for infrastructure and health care for 2024? How does he plan to address inflation, for example?

There hasn’t been a proper argument made against Trump from the anti-Trumpers in 8 years.
It’s all hurt feelz.

You know that's not true.
Shall we go toe to toe on this?
I'm going to guess ya don't. So just be silent and all is good.
Lord knows we don't want feelz being brought into this.

I remember the very first time I heard a lib say they were leaving. It was right after Reagan was elected.

My sons father is a died in the wool democrat. We were hippies. We were co-parenting after we split up. Without my knowledge he attempted to obtain a passport for my son. He planned to go to Australia where his brother had expatriated already. When I found out his plan, I filed an ex-parte motion to stop him. He was leaving, with others, because Reagan had been elected. He didn't leave because he couldnt take my son after I found out.

BTW: even he has pretty much left the DNC, and at one time, he was highly placed in CA politics. He hasnt become GOP, but he has mostly just quit politics.

Ive never heard GOP say they are leaving the country if so and so is elected, tho.

I can't make a argument to that.
But leave Reagan out of this please.
He is a God!

We’ve all knew this was gonna happen. He’s a coward.


Will you all be ok with him skipping all debates, including debating Biden?

Why debate anyone that doesn’t have a chance?
Trump leads them all.

We can agree to disagree.
But to be honest I believe you are way out of your league.

All of them. He is not going to debate anyone, on anything, at any point. That's what it sounds like from what he said.

Former President Donald Trump confirmed Sunday that he will be skipping Wednesday’s first Republican presidential primary debate — and others as well.

“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!”

Fear. This is what fear looks like. He is not showing any features of an alpha personality, of a leader. He's scared and weak right now. And this is exactly when the other candidates will pounce. I'm expecting others running against him to start showing their teeth now. They should ridicule this decision and point out every chance they get that it's cowardly. Which it is.

A super PAC supporting DeSantis released an ad in which the narrator says: “We can’t afford a nominee who is too weak to debate.” And in a posting Sunday on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, DeSantis campaign spokesman Andrew Romeo said the Florida governor looked forward to sharing his vision Wednesday on what he’ll do as president because “no one is entitled to this nomination, including Donald Trump. You have to show up and earn it.”

An earlier thread from today discussing strongmen losing their footing and going weak. Tucking tail and running is not strength.

Any candidate who skips the debates should be disqualified outright

Job interviews are not optional, neither are debates

The American public deserves better from our hopefuls

The real reason Trump won't debate is because his lawyers told him not to. There's no way Trump can take the stage and NOT lie and NOT stir up his base complaining by about crooked riggers and depraved DAs. or incriminating himself for crimes he's accused of. And, at this point, anything Trump says can be used against him.

Mums the word.

is that a serious question

i am assumig it isn't and you are just underlining his obvious cowardice

so explain why trump is imitating his example

And look how wrong they were!

but Reagan coined the term 'there they go again'. It was true then, it's true now. They haven't changed, they have only gotten more extreme.

When you are as old as dirt, and a politics junkie from a teenager protesting viet nam, I was 'woke' a looooong time ago. And then grew up when I had to make a living in this newly liberated utopia with a small child, by myself.

I take the long view of politics. You notice the deep patterns.

you remind me of a breaking bad scene with ermantrout and manuel varga

'you gangters and your justice, you are all the same' the sentiment applies to the political theater also

our best candidates must set their own standards and stop playing foolish games with bad actors, or they lose sight of the forest for all the trees and leadership suffers

No matter what Trump does, you guys will complain.

It’s been mentioned repeatedly, there’s no reason to debate any of the Republicans that Trump leads by a wide margin.

They are only auditioning for Trump’s VP spot, if he wants to choose one of them.

Why would he debate when everyone already knows where he stands on all topics.

Really? What's his policy on Ukraine?

The same as his policy with regard to war always has been...

He wants everyone to STOP DYING. He even said precisely this in response to a direct question about Ukraine in a recent interview.
