Trump is showing no interest in debating his GOP competitors. It’s hard to blame him for that; he has nothing to gain and everything to lose, given the size of his lead in the polls, Ramaswamy is acting as his surrogate, and he’s pretty busy dealing with his innumerable legal problems. If I were in his position, I would do the same.
But he is desperate to debate Biden, even though his record in debates is considerably less than stellar. One assumes that he plans to do his dominance thing again to try and prove that he is the only strong leader on the stage. How should Biden respond? Should he agree to debates?
Certainly not until Trump is the nominee, and then only with conditions. Biden should demand two things: first, a statement that the election is not rigged, with a promise to respect the outcome; and second, some sort of plexiglass screen to keep Trump on his side of the stage.
