There will definitely be debates scheduled. If nothing else, networks bank on selling airtime for their pre-game and post-game shows, and want to get people used to their commentators so they tune in on election night (which is their Super Bowl).
Biden has a lot more to gain from a good debate performance, so if the debate is 1:1 with Trump, he will show up regardless. Trump would take that, too, because his ego won’t let him decline. He has it in for Biden, since he believes the lie that the last election was stolen from him.
It gets more interesting if third parties are in the mix. Particularly if Haley mounts an independent run somehow. Trump could argue that he won’t go to any debate Haley is at, because he already beat her once, no backsies. (And yes, I expect him to actually say “No Backsies.”) That will put Biden in a jam, because he needs the debate to prove himself, but he knows that Haley would eat him for lunch. IMHO, that is the most dangerous thing for Biden. I think Biden might roll the dice on not showing up if that is the case, but it’s a tough call.
there are only these propaganda tv airings that show two corporate representatives spouting BS to grab votes like that show American Idol show and we see who got the most numbers at the end of every four years
IF we actually have debates. :( I’m less than confident.
