Joe Biden should announce

[Pantagruel]

his intention to NOT debate Trump. Let Trump stew in his own juices.
If the public wants to know about Trump, let them follow the evidence under oath that comes out during the trials.

[bucolic_frolic]

1. I also see no advantage to debating Trump

Working against Trump's logical fallacies, lies, BS, accusations is not possible.

[Walleye]

2. Let him testify in his own behalf in the Georgia trial, that should be on TV

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Hillary and Joe both tried debating the slob and both reg regretted it

[progressoid]

4. Not yet.

That gives him free airtime that he doesn't deserve and it assumes that TFG will be the nominee

[Sympthsical]

6. This

[Recycle_Guru]

8. true. once the obvious has happened.

[Pantagruel]

11. "free airtime"

He's already got more than he can handle. Not a consideration.

[progressoid]

15. Time spent on him is time that Democrats don't get for our messages.

This happened in 2016 as well. Trump and right wing dog whistles received disproportionate amount of airtime.

[Prairie_Seagull]

5. Another big audience for him to bellow his beligerent bullshit to. nt

[Recycle_Guru]

7. THIS

and when asked, he should say Trump has ceased to operate as a genuine candidate and more like a belligerent criminal defendant.

[marble falls]

9. Trump will not be a nominee.

[Celerity]

13. Who will be, in your opinion, and why?

I said right after he won in 2016 that he would lose the next election in 2020 and then run again and win the nomination in 2024 (and lose that too).

I stand by that 'closing in on 7 years old' prediction.

He owns the cult, and the cult is enough to win the Rethug nomination, even if he is somehow convicted in one of the 4 criminal cases before the election. He will appeal and appeal in that event, pushing it back to after the election, and will desperately wind up the cult into an outright state of wild blood panic/hate frenzy, urging them to threaten, cajole, drag all their social set and families to polls in order to save him. The ultimate 'Us v Them' bullshit.

71 per cent of all Rethugs trust Trump more than they trust their own families and friends (per MSNBC all day so far).

That is utter craven madness.

I predict a horrid shitshow, a crazed period of Sturm und Drang.

[Pantagruel]

10. By announcing now

Trump can't criticize the decision having just rejected the GOP debate. Nixing the debates will also signal the weirdness of the '24 race because of the presence of an indicted felon. JB not getting down in the Trump wrestling mud.

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. The GOP has already withdrawn from the presidential debate commission

So Biden doesn’t need to announce anything- there aren’t going be presidential debates in 2024.

[Angleae]

14. He should probably wait until after the primaries. After all, there might not be a need for it.

Otherwise, you're just giving Trump extra ammo for his campaign.

[Artcatt]

16. He doesn't need orange boy trying to infect him with Covid.

Again.

[gristy]

17. Yes, no "debate"

Remember the last time they debated. Trump just would not shut the ***k up. Didn't Biden even say to him to shut the ***k up?

[NowISeetheLight]

18. Idea

Hold a debate against a TV screen. Have the host moderator ask questions then play ridiculous Trump statements as answers. Could be real funny.

[Brainfodder]

19. I disagree, I say make him back down from this debate too, HE CAN NOT HANDLE LIVE Q&A no more!

He trapped, he can't do anything without his control on all questions!

[edisdead]

20. Would you shut up man

Would you shut up man

Is what likely won the election.

Well for me anyways.
