Why Trump’s strategy of skipping a GOP debate is so risky
by Brett Samuels - 05/06/23 6:00 AM ET

Former President Donald Trump is publicly and privately suggesting he will skip the first Republican presidential primary debates scheduled for this summer, an idea that is divisive among current and former advisers.

Trump has openly mused he should not have to stand on a stage with other candidates he is leading by 20 percentage points or more in several national polls while simultaneously taking heat from moderators.

“When you’re leading by seemingly insurmountable numbers, and you have hostile Networks with angry, TRUMP & MAGA hating anchors asking the ‘questions,’ why subject yourself to being libeled and abused?” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

But the strategy is not without risks. The first debate will take place in August and could provide a springboard for an alternative candidate who seizes the spotlight and marks a compelling case for the party to move on from Trump.

Did Hillary Clinton do the same thing during the 2007-2008 Democrat primary season when she had had an insurmountable lead over her opponents?
