I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but I have to admit I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about the election than I was a few months ago. Trump is his own worst enemy, and he's doing far more to hurt his chances of reelection than Biden ever could. I'd like to see Biden also decline to debate Trump. He'll take a hit for backing out, sure, but there's no benefit in a debate for him. If he gets onto a stage with Trump, Trump will simply lie. He'll lie wildly and frantically, desperate to say something, anything that could narrow the gap between them. Why give him the opportunity? There's no point in having a debate if both candidates aren't making a good-faith effort to actually discuss the issues and let the voters decide which of them has the better stance on them.
