Where are you getting this crap? Making it up, like the OP?

Democrats don't have the leverage to force something like this because people understand that Biden's people are trying mightily to hide his severe mental decline.

IF Biden does debate Trump, he is finished. The DNC knows this and former Clinton aides have suggested that Biden not participate in the debates.
He won't debate and this will hurt him. How can you have a president that cannot even engage in debate? For all of Trump's faults, at least he can still reason.

The debates are set. Biden has never, ever backed out of a debate and he knew there would be debates going into the race.

Trump, on the other hand, has backed out, as we can all remember. It's as if Trump supporters project Trump's worst traits on his opponents.

This idea that he would not debate is just another fantasy narrative floated by Trumpies, who tend to be very gullible and tell one another all kinds of stupid stuff, then they all nod to one another in agreement.

Leftists are trying to pass off the scheduling of debates as an indicator that a debate will actually occur. It really isn't. It's an optic at this point, nothing more.

Everyone knows Trump is not backing down from these opportunities to show the world that Biden's mental "sun-setting" has already occurred and is getting worse.

Biden might collapse after one of these debates.

I'm not a fan, but I don't want to see him dead.

Surprised to see so many Trumplicans so excited about seeing Trump "debate."

What are the chances he will rant incoherently, then walk off if he doesn't like a "nasty" question?

Good Lord, all Biden has to do is stand up and go, "100, 93, 86, 79, 72, 65, 58, 51, ..." and Trump will be off and running about how tough the cognitive decline test questions were.

In fact, all he has to do is answer any question with, "One thing I can assure you, the Biden administration will not be ... " and Trump will sputtering insults and goofy conspiracy nonsense until the clocks runs out.

Heck, all Trump has to do is show up and he has out thought Biden. I'm no Trump fan, but it does not take a genius to understand Biden cannot run the country.

Trump would literally murder him on the debate stage. Once ol Joe gets a little off his game, he's done for. I'm actually sort of embarrassed for him at this point. It's starting to feel like elder abuse watching him muddle through things.

He's openly talked about being a one term president. It comes off like he's thrown in the towel before he's even gotten started.
