He can only win if people aren't reminded directly about what he is like.

1. What a shock

I don't think he will appear in a setting with fact checking again. Harris scared the bejezus out of him.

5. Trump's behavior and statements scare the bejezus out of his handlers.

2. He can't control the interview. No editorial control over what gets released.

No more debates or interviews for Don (well, at least not on networks that ask real questions)! That aren't softball fluffies. Loser, as always.

3. He is afraid and unfit to be President.

4. Coward!!

Bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk!!!

6. Anytime he is cornered, he busts out his best

LIES!!!!!
"Full term abortion" "they're eating the pets" you have to flush 5 or 10times!

I bet he'd bust out a brand new whopper!

7. No way he does any more interviews except with right wing sycophants

He can't handle the mere possibility of being challenged or fact checked on any of his lies. The debate showed how well he handles those situations. Thus there is a good chance any interview would literally blow up in his face.

8. No surprise there

It would be sixty minutes of verbal chaos and confusion. Just like his rallies, but with no small crowds of sycophants.

9. Why would anyone be scared of a little fact check?
