    If you actually believe for a second we’ll have that debate, I have a lovely bridge connecting Crimea to Novorossiysk that I can let you have an absolute bargain, Brand new, never used, it’s perfect for the middle-class professional on the go!

    There are hundreds of party operatives right now desperately trying to find a way to get him to think he’ll look stronger if he turns down the debate. The closer we get, the more excuses he’ll spit out.

      The betting odds are 96% that they’ll debate. No need to sell a bridge, you stand to gain 25 to 1 if theres no debate. You are way off what the market predicts.

      I’d take that bet. Trump is stupid enough to think he can walk in and steamroll Harris because she’s a woman and a person of color. I would be VERY surprised if his team could convince him to bail, regardless of whatever reason they can come up with.

        Yep, everyone around him will give him advice to his advantage and he’ll ignore it then blame them when he doesn’t follow their advice

      Eh I think Trump himself thinks he wants it, plus to be on TV with someone actually popular to try and show them up which he’s already convinced himself he can do. Overall it seems like a coin toss, he doesn’t have the best aides to hold him back these days and he can’t turn down a TV camera.

      Does his narcissism win or does logic win? That’s the question you want to think about for the president of the country with the largest military force in the world heh, time for a drink.

        He does, his narcissism tells him he beat Biden by being himself, chosen of God (also played by himself).

        But the fear and insecurity will grow, and it will be fostered by those around him, there will be crazy conspiracy ideas like Jan 6, and eventually he’ll convince himself that somehow if he doesn’t debate her, she can’t win for legal reasons.

        You’re trying to use rational logic for a delusional man, good luck with that.

      Plenty of people were confident that he wouldn’t agree to the first debate muting the mics.

      Many more proclaimed that he wouldn’t even show up for that first debate.

      I’ve given up trying to predict what Trump might do next.
