Trump won't show because he is a coward, and because the others will rip him limb from limb on live tv.

Oh he'll attend - this self-involved narcissist couldn't pass up an opportunity to show his bloated face on TV...
He'll show us once more that, as almost all of his cabinet members have said, he has the understanding of a fifth or sixth grader...
And he'll again likely incriminate himself - so I say go for it Donald...try to explain why you are on tape saying you know you have classified and can't share it - while saying on the record you don't have classified but can share it...
But I hope he keeps "winning" - he's the easiest Repub for Biden to beat on that stage by far...

Trump probably won’t participate. Unlike the other candidates, he doesn’t have to prove who he is. We already know all too well (unfortunately).
And he’s terrible at debating. He needs to be the one and only star, in front of a group of ardent supporters/cult members. So yes, he’s a coward.

Naw, they said the same thing last time and he showed up. If anything Trump loves a good brawl.
He will, but it will so great to watch the man again
No, he absolutely is fantastic, kicked the crap out of 17 establishment career politician Republicans. Definitely not even remotely a coward.
Go Trump! 2024

Trump bad-mouthing his opponents especially two-term candidate Desantis.

It is great comedy...kind'a like watching Jerry Lewis and his antics...
Especially when he's taking the 5th....

Given the new tape, he ain't getting out until at least 2030...
