Ron DeSantis' Throws Down the Gauntlet, Challenges Trump to One-on-One Debate: 'I'm Ready for It'
By Jeff Charles | 2:30 PM on September 28, 2023
Fresh off a decent showing in the second Republican presidential primary debate, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has set his eyes on the other “big guy” former President Donald Trump. During an interview on Fox News, DeSantis threw down the gauntlet and challenged Trump to a mano-a-mano showdown on the debate stage.
The question is: Will Trump accept the challenge?
While speaking with host Bill Hemmer, DeSantis railed against the former president for skipping the first two debates, arguing that he “owes it to the voter to defend his record” and to “defend the decisions he’s made.”
“He didn’t fire Christopher Wray. He didn’t fire Anthony Fauci. He didn’t do anything to clean house. Now, all of a sudden, he’s going to slay the administrative state when he gave Fauci an award his last day in office,” DeSantis said, also noting that the former president ran up “massive amounts of debt.”

If Trump can't win a debate against Biden, how is he going to win one against DeSantis?
libertybele:
This might make a good @corbe poll I don't think Trump has the courage to debate DeSantis. He knows that DeSantis will outshine him BIGLY.
Maj. Bill Martin:
Honestly, this sounds rather desperate.
Best thing DeSantis can do to help his campaign at this point is to beat Newsome.

Trump couldn't debate Cruz worth a damn. So what to do instead? Hire your character assassins, and have them do the dirty work for you.
Trump perfected this method so well, he bypassed the debates in entirety and went for slime instead. Just like Cruz, RDS career may permanetly suffer from lies, slimes and distortions.
