But probably right regarding the thereafter part of the thread headline.

Given Trump’s history of losing debates, he would be foolish to debate again. He probably can get away with saying that he’s taking pity on Biden by not debating him again.

Would that hurt Trump just a bit, since many voters would recognize the real motivation? Yes, but I think that it is just too much risk for Trump that next time he would hit Biden on one of his good days. So unless Trump has lost his cunning, debates are over.

Probably correct, yep, that there will be no more debates, especially since Trump is DOWN in polls after his “success”–oh shit!!!

These facts still haven’t changed. Trump loves to be on camera. Trump loves to hear himself talk. Trump thinks he’s a great public speaker. Trump thinks he can out debate anyone but especially Biden. I said all that before the debate. It’s certainly more true now than then. Trump will debate anytime there is one scheduled.

Kick his ass, Joe, and invite him to 3 more debates. Mock him, mention he is a loser, get him pissed off.

But, maybe think about rescheduling if you come down with a cold. Just a thought.
