    Trump lost every general election debate he has been in, including two against Biden. I don’t know why people forget he’s actually really bad at staying on message and declaring succinct points in response to specific questions, especially when he gets riled up.

      That’s true, but people in his camp want a spectacle, an entertaining show, not policy plans and actual governance. Putting Trump up there with Biden gives him implicit credence that he’s worth debating, while Biden will be the punchline of his boorish antics.

      It’s true that he would lose every debate point, yet he would still come out on top because of the giant figurative megaphone he would get.

      Because he makes a spectacle and enough sound bites to get the press and his supporters talking.

      He makes noise, they like that he makes noise, so they like him. They dont care too much about what the noise is.
