"SNIP.....

President Trump has been discussing with his campaign advisers whether or not to participate in the general election debates in 2020, two people close to the situation told The New York Times.

According to the sources, Trump doesn't trust the Commission on Presidential Debates, the nonprofit organization that puts on the debates. Specifically, Trump is apprehensive of who will be chosen by the organization to moderate the debates, the Times reports.

Trump's campaign reportedly declined to comment on what their plan was for the debates at a state-of-the-race campaign briefing in Arlington, Va.

During the 2016 campaign, the president persistently complained about his debates with former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, claiming that he was put at a disadvantage.

......SNIP"

1. Big surprise. Not !!!

He wouldn't debate Bernie in 2016.

Fucking loud mouthed, bloated orange anus, worthless human scum.

[onethatcares]

2. he was put at a disadvantage

because he's so fucking stupid a boiled potato(e) could debate him and win.

sheesh,

[getagrip_already]

3. and he clearly had questions and answers ahead of time.....

But how would a dem even being able to handle a nonstop stream of lies and distortions?

They would have to spend 200% of their time fact checking.

4. Who cares. . .

he's stupid anyways and evil.

[GoCubsGo]

5. This would be a good time for a massive "Trump is a coward" media campaign.

Call him out as a chickenshit, and don't stop.

9. Like Chicken George in 1992

6. Trump is a shell of his idiot self from the 90's if you see old interviews, and he's getting

worse by the day. Debating any of his record is beyond him now. Last election he could be more in campaign mode debating his promises. He doesn't know any details on much of what he's actually done, thinks he's done shit that never happened, and lied about the rest.

[JDC]

7. We can count on this. Queue the pundits saying "Unprecedented; Extraordinary; Stunning"

It will be a 3 day/24 hour CNN cycle w panel....after panel....after panel.

Rick Santorum will excuse the shit out of it, blah blah blah.

More "shocking, jaw dropping, uncharted territory" bs


Zero surprise.

[wildflower]

8. I wonder if this is due to health concerns

[lunasun]

17. I think people should discuss this more

[mainstreetonce]

10. Very predictable

He does not answer questions .

[C_U_L8R]

11. He's afraid. Chicken. Cowardly.

He's also guilty as sin. Old orangestain is terrified of being held to account.

[NightWatcher]

12. It's already rigged. He can tell you what the electoral college final number will be

And we'll allow it apparently

[roamer65]

13. I hope he does skip them.

He is a narcissistic piece of shit that taxes my patience every time his ugly orange face is on my TV.

FUCK TRUMP.

[coti]

20. Me too. I'd really rather not be forced to watch him spew shit.

And his supporters won't get the satisfaction of watching his crap, either.

[uponit7771]

14. M$M ... STILL should hold debate with only dem candidate there !!!

[applegrove]

15. Maybe fox news will not have to give any coverage to the Democrat at all.

[keithbvadu2]

16. He skipped one debate in the primaries but returned for the next one.

He skipped one debate in the primaries but returned for the next one.

He couldn't stand being out of the limelight.

[Vinca]

18. What a chicken shit. Democrats need to claim every minute of the debate time then.

[FloridaBlues]

19. The man never debated last time it was just lies and smear the entire 2 hrs.

Don't hang your hat or hopes on debates with trump. No matter who runs against him. I'm sure you remember these debates they were a joke.
