The pledge includes a clause saying that the candidate will support the eventual GOP nominee.

    Of course not, he has no intention of debating. He’ll say the rules are unfair and people are being mean to him.

      Chris Christie would destroy him in debates. And Chris really wants to make Trump look bad in front of everyone. AND Trump is scared of Chris.

      Plus Trump knows he will only look bad if he goes to the debates. He likes to lie without people correcting him in real time.

        Nobody “destroys” anyone in these things. They’re not debates, they are simultaneous stump speeches. They’re only if marginally more value that a YT video of “Sam Seder BLASTS Steven Crowder and DESTROYS his argument.” Debates aren’t debates anymore and we’re all the worse off for it.

          And they will continue not being debates as long as the RNC and DNC continue running them.

        He wouldn’t really though. Here’s how it would play out:

        Chris Christie: (list of long horrible things Trump did)

        Trump: “Why did you work for me then? Why didn’t you say anything? Why did you help with the Biden debates? If you felt that way and didn’t say anything, that’s a lack of courage and character.”

        /jk We all know Trump would be like “squeal again you fat pig!”
