Exactly. I look for a lot of GOP candidates to refuse debates. Why would they expose themselves? Midnight Writer Apr 2022 #10

so why bother with the debates? They run on hatred of liberals, support for Trump conspiracy theories and the like. As long as they got that covered their stupid base will vote for them.

All they need to do is go on friendly conservative media and benefit from Dark Money campaigns paid for by America's oligarchs.

Sadly, he is emblematic of those whose education consists only of the ability to play football. He was never able to speak on issues beyond the next game during his years at UGA and has developed no verbal skills sense.

It should be the ultimate embarrassment for the R's to be pushing him as their frontrunner, but they apparently think they can hide who he is... Or Trumpists will somehow multiply sufficiently so that it won't matter.

which is that he's been dead since 1999. That's a pretty legitimate excuse, IMO.

You’ll never see this candidate at a debate. He will simply run on RW rhetoric and football popularity.
