Trump considering skipping general election debates in 2020: report

During the 2016 campaign, the president persistently complained about his debates with former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, claiming that he was put at a disadvantage.

After each of their three debates, Clinton received a bump in the polls.

“Not doing any would not be strategically smart,” Philippe Reines, a longtime Clinton adviser, told the paper. Reines also told the Times that he thinks Trump will “bluff that he won’t do any with the goal of only having to do one.”
