Debates are for losers.If you are leading,dont do it Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) has challenged her Democratic opponent Theresa Greenfield to six debates ahead of November's general election, the latest sign of what is expected to be a tight race in the Hawkeye State. "I haven’t heard Theresa Greenfield say one thing that Chuck Schumer hasn’t told her to say," Ernst said in a video released by her campaign on Monday. "And, that’s not what Iowans expect in a leader. So I’m challenging Ms. Greenfield to six debates." Ernst proposed splitting up the debates by holding two in August, two in September and two in October. "Let’s let Iowans hear what we have to say," Ernst said. Greenfield's campaign responded to Ernst on Monday, saying the Democratic candidate has agreed to face Ernst on the debate stage. “After a new poll showing her trailing, Senator Ernst continues to follow Mitch McConnell’s desperate playbook for other failing Senators around the country,” Greenfield's communications director Sam Newton said in a statement. “Of course, Theresa looks forward to debates this fall — just like how she participated in three televised debates and six public forums in the primary." The development comes as Ernst faces a difficult reelection fight. A Des Moines Register-Mediacom Iowa survey showed the incumbent senator trailing Greenfield by 3 points, with 46 percent of likely voters saying they would back Greenfield, while 43 percent said they would support Ernst. Ernst won the seat held previously by Sen. Tom Harkin (D) by just over 8 points in 2014. President Trump won the state by more than 9 points in 2016. The Cook Political Report rates the race as "lean Republican," but other polls have shown a tighter race. A survey from the left-leaning firm Public Policy Polling showed Ernst leading Greenfield by just 1 point.

Democrats see the state as a key target they can flip while they try to take back the majority in the upper chamber. Greenfield outraised Ernst in the first half of the second quarter of 2020, bringing in about $1.5 million, while Ernst raised $1.2 million. However, the senator leads with cash on hand, with about $7 million in the bank. Greenfield has $4.7 million in the bank.
Ignoring the fact of whether you are actually leading (not going to get into the concept that the polls are flawed, like they were with Hillary)... But even if you are leading and you refuse to debate - that might make sure you aren't leading for very long.
You're correct on Biden, but not on Trump. To be a narcissist you cannot care about others------and Trump clearly does. No, the narcissist was Obama and I have that from the head of Psychology at the local College.
Trump cares for others insofar as it furthers his own goal. And I know your response will probably be a giant "FALSE", but I really don't give a shit. Trump AND Obama only truly cared about themselves.
This is incorrect. Trump genuinely cares for others AND he cares for himself. That is not a narcissist in any way shape or form. For example, a narcissist would not put themselves in a public position in order to cull ridicule and hate and lose over a billion dollars in the process.
We've seen Trump's strength-----now we need to seem them side by side and see Biden's weakness when he doesn't have prompted visually or aurally.
Ok, just because you say it just means you believe it. I don't. Please show me where Trump accepting the Presidency has caused him to lose a billion dollars.
Because the people want to see the two candidates for the highest office in the land discuss issues that are important to them. This is as basic as apple pie in politics, and the only reason to not want it is because you know your candidate is suffering from mental functionality. Biden's people understand this and while they wish it weren't so, they realize that hiding from a debate would be a worse situation for them.
In the past when people questioned Trump's mental condition , the first question the right asked was . . . . . ''Did you examine him?''
