Given his lead, Trump is basically an incumbent running for re-election so I agree, he’s got better things to do than give legitimacy to the clowns that are despised by the GOP base (other than Vivek, of course).
“Given his lead, Trump is basically an incumbent running for re-election so I agree, he’s got better things to do than give legitimacy to the clowns that are despised by the GOP base (other than Vivek, of course)”.
I remember well in 1980 Ronald Reagan refused to debate his opponents in the run up to the Iowa caucuses, sensing an air of invincibility. Shortly thereafter, GHW Bush cleaned his clock in Iowa. Reagan scrambled to New Hampshire and arranged for the next debate himself. He then buried the field in the NH primary, and never looked back from there.
The point is – Trump needs to think long and hard before snubbing the voters by refusing to debate. It has the air of arrogance, and in some sense can look cowardly.
