I disagree.
I think that there are enough swing v**ers and open-eyed Republicans that if he's on the b****t, Trump will be a two-time loser (count reflects p**********l e******ns only -- the number he's lost in court are obviously much higher).
Just my opinion. If you don't like the fact that I have one, deal with it.
I agree with what you are saying here, I think one thing that is missing in all this during the general e******n it will not just be a 2 party race there will most likely be a third party that could have a viable centric person running. Both Biden and trump need the independent v**ers to break their way to win and these are the very people that will be most likely to v**e for a third party if the candidate running is a proven centrist. now the third party will not win but they would have a good chance swinging the e******n one way or another which is why even if a candidate is running a head they should still be involved in the primary process to assure those in their own party that are not supporting them that they still are the better choice in a general e******n. If they ignore those who are supporting another candidate in the primary those will be the ones that may decide to either stay home or v**e 3rd party which could also be enough to swing the general e******n. One last point while it looks like Biden will be the Democratic candidate in the general it is very possible for health reasons by the time the general comes around he will not be able to run and a completely new candidate my emerge that does not have the baggage that Biden has and be far more popular. I don't know who that could be but I know it could happen. all this being said the Trump is better than Biden very well may not even be a factor when it comes down to it so Trump would be wise to participate in the debates and show why he is better than any of the other republicans running or risk being a two time looser in the general.
