CBS "report" just now that candidates are skipping debates

A huge mistake in my opinion.

Is the only one I can think of.

Since it is obvious that “My answer: ZERO” is obviously based on your being misinformed, is the idea to get us to name them all?

In Arizona, Hobbs is refusing to give a platform to Kari Lake’s craziness. Some people who do not have access to Hobbs’ internals think that’s a bad idea. The GOP in Arizona rags about this all day long. So, now there is also a DU thread which might as week be titled, “Let’s all repeat Kari Lake’s talking point.”

There may be others, but voting has been going on already in many places. It is well past time for the curious belief that these “debates” change anyone’s mind.

But instead of being proudly ignorant, it does not take a lot of effort to find others, such as PA Governor candidate Josh Shapiro, or Michigan AG Dana Nessel, which are both major statewide races in which the Democratic candidates do not want to platform their election denying opponents.

But since your answer was “ZERO” how about you list the Republicans you know off the top of your head.

They cited some stats from the Brookings Institute that debates for the top 5 most competitive senate races declined sharply.

17 in 2010;
11 in 2012 and 2016;
14 in 2014
9 in 2018
7 in 2020
to just 6 this year

Still not identifying WHO is declining the debates.

these people are crazy

Nebraska, gubernatorial candidate Jim Pillen refused to debate Democrat Carol Blood. … “he doesn’t do political theater”.

PA Republican extremist Doug Mastriano rejected a televised debate with an independent moderator.

Ted Budd, who sat out four NC primary Senate debates refused to debate Democrat Cheri Beasley.

Hershel Walker refusing to debate Warnock ….

There are plenty more …

Chickenshit Republican

I watched it.

don't debate. They just have a mouthful of useless rhetoric ready for any topic and then pivot to their rhetoric. It's not fooling anybody so I guess they figure it's best not to go at all and avoid the risk of saying something stupid.

because his opponent is full-fledged Q-Anon.
