Neither Cheato or Nikki will participate in next debate, so

it's cancelled. Just saw on CNN. Wow. It was supposed to be on ABC.

What do you think? Will there be any more debates? Will Cheato actually get the nomination without debating at all?

I can see him refusing to debate Biden as well.

1. IMO, debates are useless. Do they really change anyone's opinions or preferences?

I hope when the time comes, Biden does not agree to debate Trump. Their 1 debate last time was a total shit show and I doubt it changed anyone's voting preferences.

4. Yeah, me too. It just shows how off the rails that debate was.

And remember the debate between Trump and Hillary where he's walking all over the stage while she is answering a question?

And I predict the ONLY way Trump will debate Biden is with a hand-picked moderator and he will insist that RFK Jr and Cornell West are invited.

10. The only thing I heard is that she won't debate anyone except Cheato

She's trying to signal that it's a 2 person race. Has she demanded other conditions?

She may be doing better in New Hampshire but it would have made better sense to do this after New Hampshire and if she came in first or a strong 2nd there.
