I think he agreed to it because he understands everyone is expecting a debate and it will make no difference - either you believe the fake news or you don’t - the debate will change nothing.
Unless one of them poops his pants on national TV this debate won’t even move the needle.
Re poop his pants:
You know, I don’t find fault with the guy for being old; that happens to all of us ultimately. What I DO fault him for, and why any sympathy I may have had is gone, is because he’s a vindictive, jealous, arrogant, petulant, petty douche bag of a human being, who has been sucking off the American taxpayer since 1972 or thereabouts, and is full of anger and bitterness to all things American. That’s Joe in a nutshell. In other words, is the perfect representation of his entire entire party.
Versus a self-made multibillionaire in Trump, who genuinely loves his country and understands what the words “land of opportunity“ really mean, and who wants to see everyone have a chance to succeed.
