It was a tactical mistake for sure. If he really thought Biden would hurt himself in a debate, he definitely should have waited

[richardhoner]

I had forgot it was Trumps idea to debate in June. Now he has an actual opponent. And he’s going to lose.

[TheChosennn]

It was def a tactical mistake on Trump’s end. He should’ve waited until Biden accepted the nominee after the DNC, but he fell into a trap and did it in June when Trump and Biden were just presumptive nominees. He should’ve waited until after the DNC to debate Biden

[Hanzo]

For Trump it’s damn if you do dam if you don’t the man can’t catch a F ing break

[buddyk]

Theres not one room this man WONT give a speech or debate in, says a lot about him, and says a lot about his opponent.

[hgdon-homeiswheretreesare-]

This is Dems' problem (with just debate, they dumped their own man😮)

[goosecouple]

Kamala strategy
1. Keep silent.
2. Let Trump make mistakes .

Imagine all the childish name calling from toddler Donnie!

Have said Republicans, Fox, NewsMax needed to back off Biden. If Biden hadn't debated yes he would still be Democrats leader and Trump would be way ahead in polls. Now he is down or even with Harris. All Republicans should have road it out.
