Probably because he doesn't want to be made a fool of twice.

(4,845 posts)He doesn't need prep because he just go with his guts and go nuts anyways.
And it's easier when you don't need any facts and you can make 10 lies in one sentence and no one bats an eye.

(9,263 posts)Biden needs to simply call him out each time as a dishonest lying sack of crap, and I hope he uses the exact words. How to beat a bully? GO RIGHT AT THEM

Trump lies. Trump just says whatever word sewage comes to mind. Sometimes he contradicts himself in the same statement. What good would debate prep be for him anyways?

(314 posts)It's because he already knows more about everything than anyone else anywhere. Why prepare?

(12,265 posts)I think deep in his worthless soul he is terrified of Joe Biden. He can't walk around behind him and intimidate him, Joe will turn around and deck him and he knows that. He also knows that Joe is so much smarter than he is he can't stand it. I predict the orange one will totally melt down prior to the debates.

(5,443 posts)will just say that Joe is lying. Trump would have no problem with a back and forth stating things like "Joe will tax the middle class" and when Joe promises not to, Trump will call him a liar. Then back-and-forths of "No you are, no you are."
How do you win against a completely intellectually dishonest, cheating debater like Trump?
The best Joe can do, I think is come across as honest and sincere, and continually ridicule Trump (a laugh fest)--go for his ego and hope he "loses it."
There will be many uninformed viewers who are not partisans, who will judge the "winner".

(8,361 posts)Its how he won the Republican primary. We have all seen it and I don't see him increasing his base from the debates. We need to make sure all votes are counted and we vote in record numbers.
"Put nothing past Donald Trump," Taylor told The Associated Press. "He will do anything to win. If that means climbing over other people, climbing over his own people, or climbing over U.S. law, he will do it. People are right to be concerned."
