Will Trump chicken out of the presidential debate? Probably. He's a Grade-A coward. Soft Paywall

Then let Biden have the stage for 2 hours or whatever and have a debate with a cardboard standee of Trump. The cardboard would probably make more sense than anything the real Trump would say anyway..

Tapper and Bash should probably ready themselves for a 2 hour town hall with Biden. The odds of Trump chickening out with some bat shit reason is high.

I honestly just dont see Trump backing out of this. If anything , I could see him coming out on stage and physically assaulting Biden more than I can see him dipping out on the whole thing.

I agree. He's too full of himself to believe that there is any downside to him stepping on the debate stage.

His handlers, on the other hand, must be scared shitless about what Trump would say and do.
