Fuck Trump, he didn’t even show up to the Republican primary debates. If Biden debates him it’ll just give Trump more speaking time and publicity.

    At this point, it’s just hard to believe there are many people who are actually undecided. I’m sure there are lots who say they are. And it’s really more about Trump than about Biden. Of the people who would ever consider voting for a Democrat, some love Biden, some aren’t excited by him, a few hate him. There’s a whole spectrum. With Trump, I think it’s more binary, even among Republicans. They generally love him or loath him. I’m not sure I’ve heard anyone recently say “Hmm, that Trump guy says some things I like, but I’m not sure if he has my vote or not.”

    I guess what I’m saying is that I doubt a debate would change anyone’s mind unless one of them said something to really alienate their base. “I want to see them discuss their differences on foreign policy before I decide.” I don’t think so. It’s probably more risk than benefit for either of them.

      The undecided voters are probably the ones considering jumping from Biden to 3rd party over current hot buttons (e.g Palestine) than any ever would be Biden to Trump or vice versa.

          Maybe if they’re paying attention while Donald is talking about needing a “final solution” for the conflict they might realize he’s not their man after all.

          It seems Biden has started pivoting on Israel support. Slowly, and certainly not definitively, but he’s been calling out Netanyahu when he hadn’t before.

          Depending on how fast this turn around happens a debate could probably swing a lot of 3rd party voters back to him. If he rips off the bandaid and admits that Netanyahu is in full ethnic cleanse mode.

        It’s gonna be wild if those people upset about Gaza cost Biden the election and Trump ends up in office again.

        I’m not American, and really don’t want another 4 years of the insanity Trump brings but I’m just so fascinated by the Leopards circling around faces waiting to pounce…

        10% being undecided imo is just people not willing to admit they’re voting for Trump. Looney Toons.

          Literally had someone say to me the other day “Basically I’m voting for anyone who isn’t Biden”. And then later his mother said she couldn’t visit family in Mexico “because of all the chaos at the border”. The kool aid has been drunk, and they’re hooked on it.
