“Dean Phillips, who just ‘quit’ in his hapless campaign against Crooked Joe Biden, was not very good at his craft, politics. In fact, I would say that he was far worse than the Republican challengers to me, with a few exceptions. I’ll give you those names if you like, but I’d rather get down to the serious business of defeating the worst President in the history of the United States, by far, Crooked Joe Biden!!! For the good of our now failing Nation, and in order to inform the American people of what is going on in our Country, we must immediately have a full scale debate between Crooked Joe and Honest Don. I’m ready to go, ANY TIME, ANY PLACE!” posted fat former President Trump at 1:26 AM EST on Tuesday, seemingly trying to justify his refusal to engage in the GOP primary debates.
Can’t think of any other reason why he’d mention Dean Phillips, who to our knowledge was not particularly vocal in needling Biden to face him in a debate. Even if he was, the mainstream and MAGA media both downplayed it because it would’ve come well after the Orange Weasel bitched out of the Republican primary face-offs. Either way, it’s interesting that Trump is so eager to make it happen well before the traditional final stretch considering he’s supposedly leading in the polls.
The losing candidate is supposed to be the one agitating for a debate, so maybe Trump’s internal polling is telling a different story than the ones commissioned by the mainstream media.
