    I mean, Donald Trump’s a chicken and everything but he’s right. All that a second debate would do is have Harris wipe the floor with him. And that would be fun to watch but I wouldn’t be watching the debate to see which nuanced point each candidate is bringing to the table and to make up my mind on whose foreign policy positions are better so I can finally decide who to vote for.

      1. What the fuck?

      2. Most voters who fall into the undecided category 90 days before the election will not make a final choice until within 72 hours of casting their vote.

        In such a polarizing environment today and with an idea of how both administrations would work (2016 and 2020), who is still needing to wait until 72 hours beforehand?

        Gonna call bullshit on anyone needing more details to make up their idea about the candidate in this race. Not saying you are posting bullshit, but rather anyone that says they really don’t know is full of shit. They know.

          Almost all of the voters who actually matter in this electoral environment.

          Gonna call bullshit on anyone needing more details to make up their idea about the candidate in this race. Not saying you are posting bullshit, but rather anyone that says they really don’t know is full of shit. They know.

          This is a bias you have because you pay attention to political news. You are on a political discussion board you are the exception. Most people don’t pay any attention to elections until October, at best.

      Well if he can restrain himself from reacting and from conspiracy theories, all these undecided might actually think he won.

      Well if its just a matter of looking cooler then the other candidate yeah but i think even voters who’ve decided on their candidate would like another debate, a new chance to speak on different topics than the first. I for one would like a debate centered on domestic policy

      Honestly, it’s the first rational decision he made in a long while.

      That said, if he can’t keep it cool in a debate… do we really want him in charge of the nukes? Or doing diplomacy…
