Trump wants to skip the GOP debate? Great! Republicans can tackle real issuesBy NY Post Editorial Board
July 25, 2023
Former President Donald Trump is considering skipping next month’s GOP presidential debate.
Republicans should want the 2024 election to be a referendum on Joe Biden’s abysmal performance.
While Trump should be welcome if he wants to get on the stage, would it be such a bad thing if he rainchecks?
Everyone already knows what Donald Trump stands for: Donald Trump, of course.
And that would be the subject of any debate he participates in.
Trump will hog the spotlight, call his rivals names, insult their looks like a kid in middle school.
That will force the others to respond. And make him the focus.
A majority of voters currently think neither Trump nor Biden is “fit to serve another term,” two recent polls found.
Polls also show that many Republicans are interested in alternatives who may have a better vision for America and a shot at defeating Biden, or any other Democratic candidate.
For that to happen, they need to hear the candidates’ views interrogated fully on a range of pressing present and future issues.
