Former Clinton White House Press Secretary Joe Lockhart told CNN on Saturday that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden should not debate President Donald Trump because Biden gives Trump a bigger stage, and it will help Trump in the election.

The marxist Democrats will float many different reasons why Biden should not debate. None of them will float long. If Biden refuses to debate it will confirm in the minds of the people that he is demented and not up to being President. The Trump campaign will be merciless and have a field day.

May not be an issue. IMHO Biden for”personal and health reasons” will withdraw. Right now there is a ferocious Democrat fight behind the scenes not who should be Vice President but who will replace Biden. They want power so bad that Biden must be replaced by mid August.

Trump already has the world stage, what the hell is he talking about? He’s essentially saying, “Basementman can’t stand up to Trump in a debate, and it is doubtful that he can stand up for 2 hours without collapsing. The dems know they have a mentally and physically weak candidate, and they are fine with him hiding in his basement. I still don’t think the American people will elect somoene who is too afraid to come out of his basement and engage in an open debate.

I want to see a debate just for the laughs, but I don't think a debate will change any voters' decisions if they haven't decided yet - the differences between candidates has never been more well defined than our current choices - IF the "presumptive" nominee is indeed nominated! TRUMP 2020 MAGA 🇺🇸

“Not debating will also help Trump. It will be construed as a lack of mental fitness for the job and would be almost impossible to spin, except on MSNBC and CNN.”

This is true. Not debating will indeed hurt Biden. But debating will hurt even more. Dems like Lockhart are evil but not stupid. They know that Biden is no longer capable of functioning in a debate setting with Trump. To all a debate is to proceed is to admit for all the world to see that Biden isn’t up to the job. A media-driven offensive that Biden is “taking the high ground,” “not giving Trump a platform for his lies,” etc is risky and likely rejected by the less gullible portion of the electorate, but even if it fools only a small portion of the voters, that’s better for them than the alternative. I don’t think Biden will debate.

The Trump would relentlessly hammer home the failure of Biden to debate.

Financial advisors do a pretty good job and let you take your own risks. You’d be surprised sometimes how much they can help.

Isn’t that the whole idea of a debate?

Exactly. This is a part of their strategy. Remember when they lowered the expectations for Palin? Although she truly did wipe the floor with him, she only had to look vaguely competent to win.

Former Clinton White House Press Secretary Joe Lockhart should be meeting with Mr. Waterboard to have extracted from him the answers the questions, “What did you know, and when did you know it.”

That would be funny. Debate that Biden and then let the 2020 Biden also debate him

Who didn’t think they were going to pull some shiite like this so Dementia Joe has ‘cover’ not to debate and show the world he’s mentally unfit for office?

They can’t do that. They can’t show the puppet actually has no brains anymore.

The Demon-crats are scared that Sleepy Joe will make a fool of himself in a debate. Look for them to create an excuse for cancelling the debates.

They already have, Chinese virus.

what bigger stage can Trump have?

Hes the active President of the USA.

What a joke.

Nonthinkers will lap this up though, so all the demtards will buy this.
