MAGA spreads rumors of a DeSantis affair with Kim Reynolds

[LMAO]

But, Trump answers those questions in every interview, and he gives two or three a week ----even to unfriendly news outlets.  He addresses these issues including  past performance and future policy in every speech and separate policy video. 

The reality is:  Trump doesn't need  90 minutes on a debate stage to do what he's been doing for months ---- answering every question every time it's asked.

Methinks you're disappointed that Trump's "reluctance" to appear on the debate stage denies the ankle biters a chance to bask in Trump's stature and win a "look at ME!" moment the only way they are able.  And, FWIW, I think your disappointment is perfectly understandable. 

@LMAO

You ask me a question

I gave you the courtesy of an answer.

You couldn’t resist a personal attack. No wonder you get so many timeouts.

You need to control your emotional drives


Like it or not, we voters have the right to hear these answers, and not just simply,” but he’s explained it before” I don’t know why it upsets you so much that we believe he should be challenged like any other candidate

He has not said how he’s going to pay for all of his big spending. And no, we, the people pay the tariffs.

There's absolutely no personal attack in my post @LMAO    Take another look:

You attempted to apply an assumption on me that I never made

He needs to answer for the inflation that has its roots in his administration

He needs to explain why lowering interest rates in an inflationary economy, or somehow help people, especially savers

Why another 10% tariff across-the-board would be a good thing when it failed already

Where is he going to get the money when our national debt just hit 33 trillion to pay for his ideas

If he had trouble picking good people in his first term, why are we to believe that somehow he’ll be better in a second
Just flippantly waving it away as “he’s explained it before” it’s not a sell.

The Conservatives such as yourself don't have the keys to the car because you're like Woody Allen behind the wheel in the driving rain...wipers going..."Did you ever get the urge to just suddenly crash into an oncoming car?"   

You're a Mad Hatter extremist.  Haven't been far enough off that mountain to even see a Cracker Barrel   

REALLY. Because lastbI looked, the most historically successful movements on the right - The ones that move the ball, are Conservative, not populist... See the TEA Party for a recent example.

That's what happens when Conservatives drive.

This is the same nonsense you pulled in 2016 and again in 2020.

You're a spoiled brat.  The kid who gets mad, picks up his ball and goes home...leaving us all on the field wondering WTF is wrong with that dude?

Why should I vote *FOR* the very things I stand against? I have no obligation. It is your candidate that has to sell to me... and believe me, I don't want what you're selling.

Sad thing my friend...you have no excuse.  Take the COVID nonsense out of the equation and his administration was simply magnificent.

How the hell do you figure that? He had both houses and couldn't pass a damn thing but a tax cut. That is NOT magnificent. And you can't blithely wave away 'the COVID nonsense'. He did that.

It seems virtue signaling is much more important to you than the fate of the country....which is going to hell BTW.

Quite the other way around, @DCPatriot , The single most threatening thing rising against us IS BIG GOVERNMENT, and out of control spending. And you are voting for more, no doubt about it.

[LMAO]

If Trump supporters were that confident of his positions, they would relish the debate. They would salivate at the opportunity to showcase Donald Trump’s political positions on a national stage.

But there seems to be a reluctance. Wouldn’t they wanna prove to GOP voters why their positions are wrong and Donald Trump‘s are the correct ones?

If you notice, they never defend it, or explain any of the points I made. It’s either they attack or they just outright dismiss.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Like it or not, we voters have the right to hear these answers

All of Trump's interviews, speeches are widely available for you to access and digest through legacy and social media. The political arena is changing and s/he who ignores this misses a lot.

I expressed an opinion.  Pro tip:  "Methinks" means what follows is a POV. 

Have a good evening @LMAO

It's worth pointing out that the tax cuts for individuals have a sunset provision and will expire automatically at the end of 2025.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

Trump also needs to be confronted over many of the people. He appointed the positions in government.

Anybody can make a mistake. But were  his appointments bad or is  Donald Trump bad at picking the right people? Neither one is good

I think some of them were good, but Trump was such a terrible guy to work for that they ended up butting heads, quitting, and being replaced by less competent people.

@LMAO   

None of which changes the fact that Trump is a chicken shit who won't face questioning on those positions.

[libertybele]

Trump NOT debating should raise questions in everyone's minds.  Regardless of the videos that he's made, the tweets and the rallies, that is not the same as actually going up against his opponents on a debate stage.

People don't want to see theatrics, they want to hear what each candidate is going to do on specific issues.  DeSantis, Haley, Scott, Pence, and Christie all have some sort of record.  Trump has his record as president and Ramsy, well, he has none.

IMHO Trump has been slinging mud at DeSantis even before DeSantis decided to run and is terrified of debating him.  DeSantis is more calm, more capable and more accomplished.  Unfortunately a lot of things Trump tried to implement disappeared as soon as Joe took office, so what he did was in essence ineffective.

[roamer_1]

I think Tumpists are emotionally invested, so debate really does not matter... which is why they can believe his tenure was magnificent... when it was not. And why they waive off the 'COVID nonsense', when that too is an integral part of that tenure.

But facts don't care about feelings. That's why Conservatives rely solely, or at least nearly solely on the record. Then one becomes immune to emotional plays, and can clearly see the decision.

@LMAO   

You seem to be of the mindset that Trump just having political positions is enough

We are all aware of Trump's political positions. But he has to defend them

How is he going to pay for his spending wishes? Trump wants more tariffs after his previous ones failed. What will be different this time?

[LMAO]

Hasn't this thread run it's course yet!

[sneakypete]

I did not ever vote for Trump in 2016 but over the following four years watched him rip the mask off of what our federal government has become.

@Bigun

It makes not one iota of difference what  you  or anyone else notes about Trump,most people hate him and are jealous of him because he was born into wealth and has the gall to run for President without apologizing for being rich.

No, that's not why most people hate him.  Maybe you ran into some people who said that, and have now generalized it to everyone else.

But of all the people I know who really hate Trump, not a single one has ever mentioned his wealth.  The first and literally only person I've ever heard that from is you.

I will add this - the left loves George Soros, and he's richer than Trump.  They loved the Kennedy's when they had tons of money.  Bill Haslam is a multibillionaire and he was a popular Republican governor in Tennessee.

Please explain to me why president Trump should expend any amount of time or energy to participate in a media circus that can only laughingly called a "debate".

Exactly....in boxing you fight underlings until you get a chance to take on the "Champ".

Especially, when the Champ has lapped the field more than once.

Hold it, it wasn't long ago Trump had ZERO political background in any office, and I didn't hear anyone mention this as an excuse not to let him debate.

Personally, I don't mind Trump not showing his mug, he just sucks the oxygen out of the air for everyone else whom I do care to hear their positions. I have seen Trumps, wasn't impressed (drooled on the field is a more fitting term).

[Idiot]

Just how is Donald Trump "hiding" from voters @LMAO ?

Good to "see" you @Right_in_Virginia.   

[Idiot]

Other than abortion, which I credit him for, though he stands against it now... name anything other than debt and inflation, and the misery of lockdowns that survived his administration... I'll wait. 

Actually the economy was doing quite well during his tenure.  The oil business was going full steam ahead.  He does get credit for those.
