Americans have long since come to expect debates between candidates for major public office. For many voters, these encounters provide the only opportunity to see how competing candidates comport themselves in a venue that is nominally beyond their control. In close contests, these debates can sometimes be crucial to the final outcome. Yet, as the November midterms rapidly approach, many Democrats have been extremely reluctant to meet their Republican opponents face-to-face on a debate stage. Indeed, in several high-profile contests, they have flatly refused to do so.

Gee, why should they? They get to choose the moderators, the format, the location, the date. Heck the only thing they don't get is that the Republican has to dress up in a clown suit and can only communicate by an air trumpet (ala Harpo Marx). I guess the 2-1 advantage in their favor isn;t enough.
Example: USA Presidential Debates.

The Demon rats are afraid, very afraid...as well they should be. They have dragged this Country down into the swamps in less than 2 years.
I pray that the honest people of this United States will vote them out of office big time.

And a legitimate press would take them to task for it every day.

They're not afraid; it's a strategy. biden hardly campaigned for president, and he still got himself elected. With the largest number of votes EVER! Yes, it was by theft, but what. . . ?

It doesn’t matter if they are shown to be afraid to debate. Don’t people get this? Pointing out their hypocrisies and their shortcomings simply does not matter to Democrats. You can call them names from sunup to sundown and it doesn’t penetrate. They know you are right but it doesn’t matter and won’t change their behavior one iota. They are not listening. They don’t care. What they are after is sheer, raw power over you, that is the game. How they get there is irrelevant. You can show them proof they are wrong and ta-DAAAH, it doesn’t matter.

The Loony Left know that they have nothing but a losing argument across the board. Only the evil fanatics in the government see something good in higher prices, transportation slowdowns and the ability to control the economy in deliberately destructive ways. That does not sell in Peoria or anywhere else where people have good sense. Like Meghan Kelly, all they can do is attack the candidate on a personal level.

When your main points are:
1. Abortion is good.
2. Same-sex locker rooms are good
3. Rioting is good
4. Patriotism is bad.
What is there to debate ?

It’s no mystery. They figured this out with Hillary. The squishy voters like Democrats until they know anything about them.
The more Hillary talked, the lower she polled. This is why she hid.
This is why Brandon hides in his basement.

Democrats are scared of debate beatdowns like Mark Kelly received from Blake Masters. Kelly appeared clueless and uncomfortable in contrast to Masters who was strong and confident.

What have they got to debate about. None of them have a mind of their own they just vote whichever way Schumer and Pelosi tell them to vote.

We need to remind ourseves that we do not have an extensive history of presidential debates.
Some people beleive the famous Lincoln Douglas debates were between presidential candidates. That is incorrect. Lincoln and Douglas debated to gain the attnetion and support of the Illinois State Legilature, for a seat in the U.S. Senate. There was no direct election of senators until the 20th century. And Lincoln lost.
Fast forward to 1960, when Kennedy and Nixon had their presidential debates. Nixon made two mistkes. He refused to use stage makeup. He looked sick under the lights .kennedy, who was sick, looked good with makeup.
People who saw the debates on TV thought Kennedy won. Those who listened to the debates on radio thought Nixon won.
Then, let's move to the 1964 LBJ Goldwater debates. Except there were none.
How about the 1968 Humphrey Nixon debates? There were none.
How about the Nixon McGovern debates? There were none.
Fetterman has ducked debates because he has suffered brain damage from his stroke.
Shapiro is way ahead, has no reason to debate.
Finally, what good did the dimocrat primary debates of 2020 do? They yielded the rwo biggest losers ever as running mates. And they 'won' the presidential election.

We don't need debates. Anyone who at this point can't see that the demosluts are communists under a different name should immediately be checked into the looney ward of the local hospital.

If course they won’t debate. They know they are wrong on virtually every issue voters care about.
