Pelosi is a loon. She lost her mind years ago.
It would be in Trump's best interest not to.
We will do whatever it takes to best win. Eat shit.![]()
The reason a malignant narcissist who lies with every breath beat everyone else in debates is because America is 40% slack-jawed morons like you, who have zero idea how government works, or more importantly, how it DOESN'T work when someone incompetent is in charge of it.
How is ‘the government working’ in all those cities run by democrats that can’t figure out how to stop rioting and looting lol?
How is "the government working" in the land of high tech that can't even keep the lights on? lol
I think there is a good argument to be made for that. A debate with Trump is like a debate on JPP. Without an incredibly strong moderator, Trump will just use the forum to throw temper tantrums and toss red meat to his base. If there is no platform, there are no issues to debate. I still think the benefit is in the contrast between a con man and empathetic leader. But she's not wrong.
Debating with Trump is like debating with a baby orangutan.
Cute but you get zero debate points lol.
This is bad optics for Biden. It’s like not wanting to fight someone: no matter what the excuse—it comes off as an excuse. Then there’s the argument that it’s not fair to voters. Why should voters be deprived of the opportunity to see the two candidates in a debate?
What makes you think Biden will listen to Pelosi's suggestion? Besides, it's bad optics for Trump actually. He will come off look like a buffoon. He has demonstrated that over and over again at press conferences.
He may not listen to Pelosi.
But the fact she would say that is indicative of the fact democrat leaders don’t want Biden to debate Trump.
And if you think it’s because of whatever excuse she gave—well lol.
Riiiiight.
It wasn't trump tweeting insane bullshit about Obama "tapping his wires" while Obama was shredding him in his DNC speech?
Christ, the entire reason Trump ran for president is because Obama clowned him at the 2011 Correspondent's dinner. He's a walking avatar for the definition of a fragile, white, male ego.
Way to change the subject. Trump hasn't used vulgarity to dismiss reporters or voters in a fact-to-face setting. Biden has, repeatedly, for years. Trump does have some ideas that are definitely out there, Obama's birth certificate comes to mind. But he hasn't been incoherent in addressing that. You can disagree with those ideas, even dismiss them as kooky, but it doesn't make Trump insane or senile just a bit of a conspiracy theorist.
As for "fragile?" Trump is anything but that. Sure he has an ego the size of a planet...

But that doesn't make him a senile old kook who can't remember what day of the week it is like Biden. Many top world leaders have massive egos. The best can keep it in check in public. Trump wears his like a chest full of medals. So?
If today’s polls are accurate Biden is looking good and the Biden’s supporters biggest concern is in a debate he forgets things or makes everyone question that his facilities are all together. Which, like you said, is exactly why they don’t want him to debate.
The flip side is if he does debate and does well it erases all those doubts and puts him in a stronger position.
Polls are completely meaningless. Accuracy is not a factor.
I've been saying this for a while now.
Trump will troll Biden in the debates. Biden will respond with a combination of gibberish and profanity. We've seen both of them do those things now repeatedly in various settings. Biden becomes the first Presidential candidate to be censored on television for his language. Trump will be Trump and the MSM will be hair on fire mad about Trump egging on Biden's crazy response. They won't question for a second that Biden's response was incoherent and vulgar. They'll solely focus on Trump being a troll.
Most people watching will know and understand the difference. If Biden screws up more than once like that, he's going to lose considerable support among those that want at a minimum a coherent president that isn't suffering from dementia. That could well lead to the Biden team cancelling the remaining debates, but that will cost him too as it will be taken that Biden can't debate Trump.
Pelosi is trying to short circuit that whole possibility by keeping Biden in his basement.
