I'm sure we'll find the decision to be prescient.

The campaign process is far too long. Skipping all debates until January would be reasonable.

Trump planned to have a press conference Monday. He also planned to build a wall, eliminate Obamacare and drain the swamp.

A win for the audience. More time to hear positions from lesser-known candidates.

It’s more like a vice presidential debate.

Every time that cretin doesn't talk it's a win for America.

But that isn’t why Trump is skipping it.

 

[phrodeau]

The Donald and Tucker show will be taped and posted, probably to X and Truth Social, after being edited by their lawyers. So A, it won’t be up against the debate at all, and B, it’s going to be short and dull.

One will be watched by a small proportion of the nation.

The other will be laughed at by the world.

Isn’t he surrendering? He may not be able to make Tucker either.

Tucker is now constructing the worlds biggest soft ball.

From his interview with tucker:

“People in that crowd said it was the most beautiful day they ever experienced. There was love and unity. I have never seen such spirit and such passion and such love. And I’ve also never seen, simultaneously and from the same people, such hatred at what they’ve done to our country.”

The Trump interview on Twitter has 93 million views. How big was the Fox audience during the debate last night?

Meaningless. “Views” does not reflect how many actually watched.

They do if you understand the fractions. The views are now above 230 million. Those who actually watched are about a 9% cut.

That's a random speculation of a number. They don't have any view count.

Those who actually watched are about a 9% cult.

Journalists and a few of those who try to peacefully run Biden supporters off the road.
