Trump says he won't debate primary opponents

President Trump on Monday indicated he would not be willing to debate the Republicans seeking to run against him in a primary for the party’s 2020 nomination.

“They’re all at less than 1 percent. I guess it’s a publicity stunt,” Trump told reporters as he left the White House for North Carolina.

“To be honest, I’m not looking to give them any credibility,” he added.

Former Rep. Joe Walsh (Ill.), former Rep. Mark Sanford (S.C.) and former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld have each announced campaigns against Trump.

The Arizona Republican Party earlier Monday canceled its 2020 presidential primary contest, joining the GOP in South Carolina and Kansas. Nevada may follow suit as the Republican Party seeks to clear Trump's path to reelection.

Of course he shouldn’t debate them.
The bosses chose him.

Like any of the three can do better? Kind of interesting Sanford has the audacity to show his face. Trump is the "bitter pill" this country has needed for decades. Come on now, I grant he is not a tactful politician, however, he is taking on China, North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, and the radical left wing media, single handed by the way.

Who said anyone had to be tactful to get a job done, no one that I can think of. Go Trump 2020.

Trump is afraid of NONE of these bozo's. NONE.
Democrat, Republican. Doesn't matter.

Let the media do the same thing they did last time. Tell us how badly Trump will lose, then cry like babies after he stomps all of them into the dirt.

Why doesn't he ask all these democrat politicians how they can improve the economy after THEY have been in Congress for 15-50 years and we are 22 TRILLION dollars in debt??
They say they can "greatly improve" our country, but they have driven it into the ground. But, NOW, they have "solutions"??? To what?
The greatest employment figures in decades (some, in history)?
The greatest number of black people with jobs?
The most women in the job force in 70 years?
Unemployment at...wait for it....3.7%?
The debates will be suicide for any challenger.
It will be hilarious!!
Keep cheering, you mindless sheep.

957, agreed. No need for tact necessarily. But it would be real nice if he could have one statement/debate/press conference where he actually sticks to the facts to make his case. Not just make stuff up.

WITHOUT TRUMP IN THEIR DEBATE THEY COULDN'T DRAW ENOUGH PEOPLE TO START A DECENT BAR ROOM FIGHT.

You can espouse the numbers but the economy was already on an Upswing lucky riding wave for him. Now his trade war with China turns out to be HOT AIR he met his match with crazy rich tacky Nouveau Riche Asians much like himself but educated and actually self made colder and more calculating than just not paying contractors and trades people and having to bother with bankruptcies and taxes. The had a whole country to exploit and ours too. Merv Griffin probably had a greater net worth.

I guess merv should have run for the presidency job since he was probably worth more. What kind of stupid logic is that 6:30

None of the 3 Stooges (and they fit the definition of stooge,too) would draw enough of a crowd to fill a VW Beetle, even if DJT wasn't President. That's a fact.

6:30....YES. You ARE pretty stupid.

Stop saying all the good things are obama's work, because they sure as hell DIDN'T work for his EIGHT YEARS.

As soon as Trump took office, EVERYTHING started jumping.
What? obama put a time release capsule on his monkey pretending buffoonery?

Like it's been said before, Trump could cure cancer and people like you would give credit to obama. About as believable as "muslims have been an integral part of our history since our country began".
