    I mean, Donald Trump’s a chicken and everything but he’s right. All that a second debate would do is have Harris wipe the floor with him. And that would be fun to watch but I wouldn’t be watching the debate to see which nuanced point each candidate is bringing to the table and to make up my mind on whose foreign policy positions are better so I can finally decide who to vote for.

      Honestly, it’s the first rational decision he made in a long while.

      That said, if he can’t keep it cool in a debate… do we really want him in charge of the nukes? Or doing diplomacy…

      Well if its just a matter of looking cooler then the other candidate yeah but i think even voters who’ve decided on their candidate would like another debate, a new chance to speak on different topics than the first. I for one would like a debate centered on domestic policy

      Well if he can restrain himself from reacting and from conspiracy theories, all these undecided might actually think he won.

      No one watched the first debate to see talking points. They wanted to see how Trump would mess things up. They weren’t disappointed.
