(Trump said he’s not going to do a second debate)
He’s not wrong.
Because once one is ahead, one doesn’t do a rematch with a loser.
(Just pointing out that Rep Collins’ statement can be taken multiple ways.)
why not? if he won so greatly, what does he have to lose?
Everything
That’s like saying “I already won once gambling, why wouldn’t I do it again”. Stupid.
If winning a debate is a gamble, maybe your position isn’t strong enough. If he’s confident about having won this last debate he shouldn’t be afraid of doing it again
How to tell who debate
It seems like if you think you won, why would you want to do a second debate?
Debates = Air time = more eyes on you = more voter engagement = better odds of winning the election (if you think you benefit from more voter engagement)
more winning?
Because you won. And want to do it again. Same reason Trump demanded another debate after the one against Biden.
I feel like this could go both ways though.
“I don’t want to get my ass kicked again.”
Or
“I already won once so why would I risk messing up with a second one?”
