Bet my chainsaw that Trump never makes it to the debate stage

[Under The Radar]

Even if he wants to, his staff (including Hannity and the rest of Fox News) will prevent him from doing so.
He wouldn’t be able to treat the moderators as he does the press corps in his ‘briefings’.

1. Nope... no debate. Between the prescription drugs, the personality disorders, and the dementia..

... he's not ready for prime time.

[area51]

25. +1, n/t

2. He bullied the moderators pretty well last time.

How many moderators are going to call him out when two hours later they get 5,000 death threats. Unfortunately, Joe is going to have to dismantle the guy so thoroughly that all except Trump's craziest supporters will see that Joe is clearly better for the country.

3. Your advocating that no one has the spine to ask him tough questions?

Have you been watching the “briefings” the Questions were asked by courageous reporters, Trump simply had their mics cut off.
On the debates he doesn’t control the mics.

4. "You're."

5. I stand corrected - you must know my daughter

24. I don't know whose daughter this is:

But I'm ready for my handcuffs...

7. Good for the reporters that have had enough of his shit.

But I am just pointing out, last time his band of crazies had moderators cowed. Maybe the Media have gotten to the point where they are saying "bring it on", I certainly hope so and that attitude is widespread.

8. I know the crap Megan Kelly had to endure

It is a shame, but think it comes with the territory these days because even I have received threats online for voicing an opinion about Bernie and Hilary’s weaknesses.

[PlanetBev]

6. I wouldn't bet against you.

Trump will say that the debate moderators are part of the fake news media and weasel out.

[Under The Radar]

9. I actually think that is a reason that he gave on Fox and Friends once

[Polybius]

10. Extremely unlikely

Not showing up would mean certain defeat.

[Under The Radar]

11. Same if he participated

[Polybius]

15. Anything can happen at a debate

Even if he only has a 20% chance of winning, he could get a lucky good line in. He's a conman entertainer going up against a gentleman, he should never be taken lightly.

If he doesn't show up, he has a 1% chance of winning.

[coeur_de_lion]

12. I agree

He will never debate. Even he knows he can't handle debating anyone. Hell I could probably win a debate against this moron.

[Under The Radar]

13. Me too, with half my brain tied behind my back.

[coeur_de_lion]

23. LOL

In my opinion he will come up with what he or his handlers think is a really great "reason" or excuse not to debate.

If he ever scared up the courage to debate Biden would thrash him in the first 5 minutes. So would my Granny if she were still alive.

[UncleNoel]

14. Let Biden take a chainsaw to IT, if IT does get to the debate stage.

[TwilightZone]

16. We heard the same thing in 2016.

And yet he showed up.

It seems that many have forgotten that a) he loves to be on TV, and b) he loves to hear himself talk.

There's no reason at all for him to not show up.

[Under The Radar]

17. in 2016 he had nothing but promises, now he has a record

[TwilightZone]

18. So what?

He does daily press conferences to revel in his own shit; you really think he's not going to show up to do the same for millions at home?

Sorry, but it's a silly assertion, as it's always been. It's like people forget who the guy is.

[Under The Radar]

21. the Press was in his ass today and he cut the briefing short

He doesn’t have that power at a debate.
But believe this, I hope that he shows up to 10 of them.

[Celerity]

19. he will debate, I wager mine

[sdfernando]

20. If course he won't debate

It been obvious for years. He couldn’t handle Hillary and she was way soft on him. No way in hell he could even be on the stage with Biden.

[Gothmog]

22. I doubt that trump will dare to debate Joe Biden
