I believe it's a good idea.
It would infuriate Democrats and the media.
I can see the media holding monologues with Biden alone on stage and him rambling on and on and growing angrier and angrier that Trump is ignoring him and isn't taking him seriously.
He can will by boycotting them and just barnstorming from venue to venue, nationwide.
Laying in broadside after broadside, from all directions.
He has shown a unique ability for marathon.
He’s right, who would moderate it? Mark Levin? Rush? Yeah, never in a million years would they allow them, so you know it’s going to be leftists. Chris Wallace, and everyone at CNN. I think this is a good idea. Let them debate themselves. All the candidates are boring as hell and nobody is going to watch it
Fine by me. I hate those stupid things.
PDJT will not get fair shake from the Commission on Presidential Debates. By refusing to participate, he could negotiate the terms
I don’t trust anything from The Shrill.
I’ll wait for POTUS to say this.
YES! Twitter debate.
“According to the sources...”
Could there ever be any doubt, if sources are saying? sarc
Fake News from the New York Times!!!!
Media heads are exploding all over town...Trump knows how to play it.
He takes away a revenue stream and all this smut if he says no. I however enjoy these things but I am a deviant and he is awesome to watch
In 1968, neither party wanted debates because it would have given Wallace legitimacy and an edge. Both parties feared he could throw the election into the House and set the civil rights movement back a generation.
In 1972, Nixon refused to debate McGovern for the same reasons that Johnson refused to debate Goldwater in 1964.
Good idea. We lived without them before.
“I’m not voting for Donald Trump. Period. … These bully, dirty tricks, Nixonian tactics, they’re only going to backfire. So, count me as never Trump.”
Mark Levin April 2016
“There’s been too much of this folks, way too much of this,” Levin said. “The crap in the National Enquirer against Ted Cruz, the attacks on Michelle Fields, I mean, I can go right through the list, too much, too much, too much. At some point, you’ve got to stand up to it.”
Mark Levin April 2016
From the Washington Times, August 31, 2016
Radio host Mark Levin took to the airwaves on Tuesday night to rebut a rant by Fox News’ Sean Hannity against the “Never Trump” movement.
Millions of listeners who tuned in for “The Mark Levin” heard the host rhetorically hammer Mr. Hannity’s assertion that “the Jonah Goldberg class” will be to blame if Hillary Clinton is elected the next U.S. president. Mr. Levin was careful not to mention the Fox News star by name, but left no doubt who he was talking about.
” ‘If only the #NeverTrumpers, if only Jonah Goldberg and Bill Kristol and Glenn Beck and this one and that one, if only they’d get behind Trump, then we’d be winning! Then we’d win big time! Oh yes!’ No we wouldn’t,” said Mr. Levin, Mediaite reported Tuesday. “As popular as many of those men and women are, they’re not going to sway anybody one way or another. This is a presidential election. People make up their own minds. […] You’re going to vote your conscience. That’s a statement of fact. […] Maybe Trump will win. Maybe Hillary will be stopped — but we nominated the wrong person.”
Great idea. Tell the media that it is a proven fact that they are all cheats and liars and in the tank for the DNC . All he has to say is 2 words - Donna Shilala as proof. Tell them that if they want a debate, there will be 2, it will be moderated by Rush Limbaugh and only Rush Limbaugh. If the media doesn’t like it, they can pound sand, but leave them a warning that if they of any Internet group or person deliberately try’s to inter fear with the election, 2nd admendment or not, they will be thrown in jail and left there until Trump leaves office, be it January 22nd 2021 or 2025
It’s nothing but a trap unless he can dictate some favorable conditions.
Why subject yourself to that when your record can speak for itself?
Any tactic that removes the media from the equation is smart.
The debates are always run by the aholes in the lib media. That apparently will never change. For some damn reason. Why should he fall into the same trap as countless other conservatives have?! Screw ‘em. We know what his positions are and we know theirs. What’s to debate?
In most elections, the incumbent sets the debate terms. If I’m Trump, I insist on only one debate with no journalists. Two questioners. DNC Chairman Tom Perez asks questions of Trump. RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel asks questions of the Democrat. Alternating questions with time given for rebuttal.
Completely fair.
If not accepted, no debates.
