Tim Ryan, former Ohio Democratic representative, says Trump is avoiding debate because ‘he is scared’

Too late for an old man, I guess
Way past his bed time.
It’s getting well past prison time if you ask me.
Fuck that, past my bedtime too.
No country for old men
Too late because Joe Biden isn’t the opponent anymore
Time to get you to bed, Donnie
I know he has tiny hands, but I’m pretty sure he has a full number of fingers on both of them lol
I really want somebody to do some audio overs of things Trump is saying lately with a baby wailing and crying.
Waaah. Waaah. It’s too laaaate. Waaah.
Be the change you want to see in the world
I’m unfortunately terrible @ audio-over work. I know from successive failures and attempts using various tools over the years.
There’s actually a Tiktok trend where girls say Trump is very teen girl coded - it’s on this sound and a few others, literally hundreds of videos: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFMamHFo/
He’s a real, verified Mega Baby
Brave brave sir Donald.
He bravely ran away, away!
He can’t what with the bone spurs and all
Nah they magically healed after we pulled out of Nam.
Trump is America’s biggest drama queen.

“Hold my anti-woke beer”
In Radiohead speak… you are the chosen one.
“Any time; any where…
…but not too late I’m an old man”
He’ll accept. We all saw this during the most recent debate. Just keep saying he’s scared to get under his skin and he’ll foam at the mouth and lash out.
Doubtful. He’s a lil bitch and she made him look dumb as fuck. Actually he made himself look dumb as fuck.
😆, seriously well-put
Didn’t the sore loser agree to three debates initially?
What happened?
He’s surrounded by toadies who told him he’d win the first one, and he lost.
Yes, it is time for grandpa Donald to go to bed
If it’s too late, I guess he can stop campaigning then.
To go against the grain here, to me this is his final signal that voters have made their mind up and that he will take his chances on this toss-up of an election. He will pull all his dirty tricks and contest the results, perhaps violently, if he loses. I don’t think he’ll agree to a 2nd debate but Democrats should cajole him all they can to try to force another.
I appreciate that he said that it’s too late to have a second debate now because voters have already started voting. Especially since he had debates after voters started voting Sep 26th, Oct 9th, amd Oct 19th 2016 as well as Oct 22nd 2020, four years to the day before this debate. It really shows he’s running in fear currently and doesn’t want to risk having his ass handed to him a second time by a woman who’s not intimidated by him.
I mean, Donald Trump’s a chicken and everything but he’s right. All that a second debate would do is have Harris wipe the floor with him. And that would be fun to watch but I wouldn’t be watching the debate to see which nuanced point each candidate is bringing to the table and to make up my mind on whose foreign policy positions are better so I can finally decide who to vote for.

What the fuck?

Most voters who fall into the undecided category 90 days before the election will not make a final choice until within 72 hours of casting their vote.
In such a polarizing environment today and with an idea of how both administrations would work (2016 and 2020), who is still needing to wait until 72 hours beforehand?
Gonna call bullshit on anyone needing more details to make up their idea about the candidate in this race. Not saying you are posting bullshit, but rather anyone that says they really don’t know is full of shit. They know.
who is still needing to wait until 72 hours beforehand
Almost all of the voters who actually matter in this electoral environment.

This is a bias you have because you pay attention to political news. You are on a political discussion board you are the exception. Most people don’t pay any attention to elections until October, at best.
To your exact point about us being biased because we pay more attention to politics. I think people who wait till 72 hours before to decide don’t do so because they are politically ascended and have chosen to wait until 3 days before to make sure all of the facts are in on either candidate’s political positions so they can fill out their voter decision matrix to calculate the exact candidate for them.
Of course not. They wait until 72 hours or less because they haven’t given a single thought to the election and are just going to vote based on their gut feeling at the last minute. Unless a debate happens the day before election day (I want to see that happen lol) it’s in and out of the political consciousness too fast to matter. The same voters who don’t make up their mind until 72 hours before are the same voters who debates don’t affect in the slightest. The venn diagram overlaps.
To my initial point. The reason for a debate would be the old school reason of actually having the candidates posing hard-hitting good-faith questions to each other to show why their side has thought about the arguments and the issues more. That hasn’t happened in decades though of course.

You know, I can concede that point about my bias. I still say that they already have examples of both administrations and what they will be like. Nothing will be a surprise.

Honestly, it’s the first rational decision he made in a long while.
That said, if he can’t keep it cool in a debate… do we really want him in charge of the nukes? Or doing diplomacy…
Well if its just a matter of looking cooler then the other candidate yeah but i think even voters who’ve decided on their candidate would like another debate, a new chance to speak on different topics than the first. I for one would like a debate centered on domestic policy
Well if he can restrain himself from reacting and from conspiracy theories, all these undecided might actually think he won.
No one watched the first debate to see talking points. They wanted to see how Trump would mess things up. They weren’t disappointed.
If he capitulates against a smart American woman, how will he fare against putin, xi and Kim?
You mean his heros?
He kisses their ass, remember?
With tongue.
He won’t even try. He’ll get his instructions straight from Moscow.
Why is Tim Ryan our go-to for an opinion on this? What a pull.
What a weak bitch.
