    Honestly, I’m ok with Biden not participating in them. At this point they likely do more harm than good to him. Trump will just vomit whatever he feels like regardless of the question. He’ll lie and get his little quips in.

    The only way I see trump losing any support is if he suffers some major medical episode on stage, or finally drops a bigger racial slur (something like “darker people” would likely get a pass whereas the n word might finally take him down a notch). The incoherent rambling will get a pass. The thinly veiled racism or bigotry will get a pass. And all of that will just be soundbites for his slobbering masses to eat up.

        What does that mean? Trump has done nothing but shirk one on one debates, especially one on one contests. Biden is already the defacto candidate, Trump is likely going to install his family in the upper echelon of the RNC and the election is still over half a year away. This is just a distraction and Newsom is playing spoiler so that he can start up his run for 2028. There is no benefit to playing chess with a pigeon.
