“Trump is trying to run out the clock. Not good strategy given his legal entanglements. It’s likely to cost him in Iowa and New Hampshire. Frankly, I hope it does. I’ve moved on from Trump. We need a fresh Republican face as our 2024 nominee” – Top comment on RedState.com’s article.
“If Trump participates, the DEBATE will turn into a BERATE. Good call President Trump!” – The top comment on the Breitbart article. Not clear if this is for or against Trump showing up.
“Trump is the only choice” – Top comment on the Gateway Pundit’s article. Very clear that this asshole doesn’t care either way and would vote Trump even if he pissed his pants on stage.
“I thought it was wrong for Biden to say he will not participate in the debates, and I think it is equally wrong for Trump to not participate in the debates. This attitude of ‘I have this in the bag’ from both Trump and Biden is very off-putting. There are things going on today that were not going on during the 2020 election, and things that have happened since the 2020 election that both should be on stage addressing with the other candidates running in the primaries” – Top comment at Daily Wire by some asshole trying to bothsides it after Trump also skipped the GOP primary debates in 2019.
“Why would you stop on the highway to argue with the bugs squished on your windshield?” – Top comment at Newsmax’s article, kind of clever and funny considering the network’s audience.
