the fact of the matter is.
when you are up big just days before the voting you have almost nothing to gain and everything to lose from attending a debate.
I was saying BEFORE the tweet controversy that Trump shouldn’t do any more debates. He has the nomination in the bag. He just needs to play it safe at this point.
Reagan thought he had it in the bag, skipped the Iowa debate, and lost the state. Had to scurry to get back on top.
(Noting that you’re a fellow Texan, I peeked at your history and am heartened and impressed with your considerate and articulate posts. FR needs more of that these days.)
