Trump says he won't debate primary opponents

"SNIP.....
President Trump on Monday indicated he would not be willing to debate the Republicans seeking to run against him in a primary for the partys 2020 nomination.
Theyre all at less than 1 percent. I guess its a publicity stunt, Trump told reporters as he left the White House for North Carolina.
To be honest, Im not looking to give them any credibility, he added.
......SNIP"

(63,221 posts)We need to mock him mercilessly! Shame him into debating. He knows he will look like the fool he is. Hammer him on twitter and in the media. Call him weak and cowardly. Make him prove that he is not. We have to put him between a rock and a hard place. Either debate, and prove that you aren't afraid or hide from it and show the world what a scared little baby you are.

(15,572 posts)Poppy Bush didn't debate Pat Buchanan in 1992. If you're leading 90-10 in your primary, why risk it?

(25,550 posts)No point in it, especially if none of them gains any traction.

(50,346 posts)most of it trashing Trump. It works for me. Maybe it will wake up some people who still call themselves Republicans that the very last thing Don does is carry on with Republican tenets like fiscal responsibility and free trade.

(42,911 posts)I can't recall it ever happening so I'm not sure why anyone would find this newsworthy.

(42,911 posts)Of course he'll debate his Democratic opponent. He is an out of control narcissist who craves attention. He believe he crushed Hillary in the 2016 debates and will do the same to his Democratic opponent in 2020. Oh, he'll demand some crazy rules etc., but he'll participate in at least one debate, probably more. You can bet on it.
