5 Strategic Reasons Why Trump's Decision Not to Debate Again is Correct
Strategic Decision Not to Debate
The Trump campaign's decision to forego a third debate is a strategic move that appears to be the right one. It's not because Trump didn't "win" the first debate, but rather, it's a calculated move likely based on several strategic reasons.
Kamala Harris's Missed Opportunities
Kamala Harris had multiple opportunities to agree to another debate but chose not to. She declined offers from networks such as NBC and Fox before the first debate and only suggested another debate after the last one. Her reluctance to agree to another debate could potentially backfire on her.
Limiting Harris's Policy Explanations
By not participating in another debate, Harris is restricted to the policy explanations and reasoning she provided in the last debate. Although Harris may have performed better artistically, she lacked detailed policy prescriptions and plans for critical issues like the economy and immigration.
Demands for Rule Changes
Harris's team was requesting provisions and rule changes up until the very last minute of the debate. This behavior reflects the Democrats' obsession with micromanaging every detail of these debates due to their lack of substantial policy substance. Trump, on the other hand, has not been shy about taking interviews or holding press conferences throughout his campaign.
Confidence in JD Vance
The next debate will be the vice presidential debate, and JD Vance is far more articulate in explaining policy positions than Donald Trump. Not having another presidential debate shows the Republicans' confidence in JD Vance, who is expected to perform significantly better than Trump did.
Media Bias
News networks do not deserve the ratings of another debate or the trust of the American people due to their evident bias. The previous debate was heavily biased towards Harris, both in the lines of questioning and in the moderators' interjections on her behalf. This bias undermines the trustworthiness of network news in handling another debate.
Impact on Voters
By Trump stepping away from another debate, it's likely to strengthen his base, and also Harris's. Harris's camp will argue that he's too scared to do another one, while Trump's camp will question why he ever agreed to do a debate on ABC in the first place. The critical-thinking, independent, undecided voters will now be forced to question why another debate isn't happening.
Bottom Line
In conclusion, the decision by the Trump campaign to forego another debate appears to be a strategic move that could potentially work in their favor. It forces voters to critically analyze the previous debate and question why another one isn't happening. What are your thoughts on this?
