Why in the world would we even need any Republican Debates ? We only have ONE CANDIDATE.

Trump doesn’t need to do debates just do his rallies WHY IN THE HELL would you debate these idiot socialists!!!

Perhaps for the entertainment value. Trump debating Hillary was hilarious. Imagine Trump debating senile ole Joe?

The story is about debates for the general, not the primaries.
