But that's not what you said.You offered the excuse for Trump's refusal to debate by saying that Reagan did the same thing, equating Trump with Reagan. Yet Reagan did indeed debate his GOP opponents in 1980
Reagan rejoined the primary debate stage late in the game ---- only after he lost in Iowa to Bush and was thisclose to a blowout loss to Bush in New Hampshire ---- which would have ended his political career.
Reagan chose NOT to participate in debates prior to facing his political death. The strategy was known as "above the fray".
You made a decision to lie in order to defend your candidate. It is exactly what Democrats do.
If you reread my original post on this topic, I presented "food for thought" --- that Reagan had skipped primary debates so the expectation that
participation is automatically a "must do" really doesn't hold. If it's a risk a campaign is willing to take, there is precedent for it.
This is the third time you have called me a liar in less than 12 hours
@Hoodat ---- twice on this thread and again in disagreement that DeSantis did, indeed, follow Fauci's lead into 2021 ---- after Trump had left office. This is your all too common MO. Your belligerence cheapens not only you and your counter-point, but also the quality of this Forum. It is past time for you to develop a more appropriate debate style.
