But has this president ever worried about precedent, norms or behavioral expectations? It’s not hard to imagine Trump, who so loves drama and cliffhangers, refusing to commit to a debate, possibly up to the very minute he’s due to walk on stage. — PolitiTweet.org

Who’s to say the president will even show up for a debate? Recall he skipped a Fox News debate during the 2016 primaries and paid on cost. Yes, presidents have come to be expected to debate their November rivals ever since Gerald Ford, in 1976, set the precedent. — PolitiTweet.org

But this is also no small number of Trump-hating folks who relish the image and salivate at the prospect of the Democratic nominee beating up the president on a general-election debate stage. Setting aside whether he/she would live up to those expectations — PolitiTweet.org

So a few random thoughts on the Democratic primary fight. How many times have we heard thus-and-so would wipe the floor in a debate with Donald Trump? Essentially, that’s a stand-in for the question of electability and who (it is perceived) can beat the president in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org
