(Zero reason for Trump to do the rigged CNN debate.)
He’s probably correct
Well, bowing out probably does more ha rm now. Wasnt much of a reason to accept to begin with. If Trump can get a knockout performance (which probably isn’t likely) then it really could be game over for Biden. What is a knockout...well, he did have a knockout performance against Hillary. That is, a performance that is not spinnable as a win for the otherside. The performance in 2016 left the other side saying, sure he won but it wasn’t big enough to change the trajectory. If Biden supporters are left with such a scenario it will be very difficult to come back from.
He is right but Trump agreed to it as is, even though it as obviously a total rigg job. Trump had leverage but didn’t use it. He can’t back out now, too late.
