According to @MerriamWebster,

coward
noun

cow·​ard | \ ˈkau̇(-ə)rd \

Definition of coward:

one who shows disgraceful fear or timidity.

IE: a coward who deserted his troops

Used in a sentence:@katiehobbs has proven that she's a coward by refusing to debate @KariLake.— Kari Lake War Room (@KariLakeWarRoom) September 2, 2022

This is what passes for leadership in the 2020s.

Part of the left’s ongoing “ignore” strategy and it’s working. The dem voters are such pussies they cheer on those not debating. If 45 makes it to the debates ut will be same bullcrap. They won’t give him the platform ...no way.

Any “interviewer” she would agree to would only ask softball questions.

.

We know how that goes.

Q to Lake: Why did you support racist insurrectionists attacking minorities and puppies?

Q to Hobbs: Why have you always supported Education and Families?

Translation: Hobbs knows Lake would kick her ass in a debate and she’d have no chance of winning after that.

We shouldn't bother with debates ever again. They're a good idea on paper. But it's impossible to do it correctly today.

If you are running for POTUS, you'll pay a political price for avoiding the debates. But it is so partisan now so we are past that. The Commission on Presidential Debates screwed up because they are influenced by the Democratic Party so that's the end of them.

Hobbs is bad news anyway but if she can't handle a simple debate with a biased (for her) moderator then she can't handle being governor.

I see her as being nothing but white trash trying to be something she never could. She is as corrupt as the Biden/Obama/Clinton/Pelosi crime families.

Let me guess, the Democrats will have one of their media disciples of deceit as a moderator.

These Dems usually dont agree to normal debates because they cannot debate on facts and they usually get scorched.

The only debate should be both candidates in separate rooms with no access to each other. The only other person in the room is a representative from the other campaign who checks the candidate for ear-wigs and hidden communication devices, not cheat sheets..

All questions are.single variable and li.ited to 10 words. (i.e. what is your position on issue “X”?)

Moderators may not interupt or ask for clarification.

The candidates cannot see or hear each other.

Have total of 5 questions that are asked of each candidate.

They can know 4 of these questions in advance and prepare for them. Each candidate has three minutes to answer

The 5th question will be supplied by the candidates for their opposition. These questions will be handed to the moderator just before he/she reads it.

No rebuttal, no talking over, no having to deal with a biased moderator.

And if the answers go beyond 3 minutes the microphone is cut off.
