Nothing the Trump campaign is doing brings voters they don’t already have to their side. Last night while Pence gave a professional politician debate performance by talking a lot and not answering anything, all OT does is make the bas nod in approval. It doesn’t make an undecided or Biden voter move to the Trump camp.

Now Trump is skipping the next debate which is the same thing. It will do nothing to bring voters to him. It may cause the exodus to slow as he’s not being a know nothing bully.... I think this skipping of the debate is just going to help the characterization that he’s a bully and a big baby so the exodus may continue anyways.

I hope Biden is allowed to use the time and just have a town hall by himself.

I’m not sure it’s that the mics can be cut off that actually bothers Trump. It’s that there are going to be some questions and statements from regular people who will outwardly hate him...his ego can’t handle that.

As well I think it is also likely the case that he will not be physically capable of having a 90-120 minute continuous event a week from now so the excuses come so as not to make him seem weak. If he was physically capable of campaigning right now he’d be at a rally somehow (virtually or otherwise). Instead we get short videos from outside the Oval Office.
