    Ruth Ben-Ghiat Retweeted George Little

    He would likely refuse to debate Buttigieg or Warren and it is quite possible that he won’t debate anyone else either. Putin and Orbán refused to debate opponents- too risky and also beneath them to appear as equals of other humans.https://twitter.com/georgelittledc/status/1230479496274481162 …

    Ruth Ben-Ghiat added,

    George Little @georgelittledc
    Just to recap last night's debate: @ewarren would absolutely demolish @realdonaldtrump on the debate stage.

        He would eagerly debate @MikeBloomberg or @JoeBiden . Any else, he'll likely avoid.

        Also, trump can’t put together a full, coherent sentence now, imagine how bad he will be in a few months. He’ll probably send in Jared as his second.

        agreed! he is not smart enough to think on his feet. he is in such horrible shape, he cannot even STAND on his feet. it sure would be fun to see him cut to ribbons by anyone on the dem side. c'mon, donnie boy, do it! the best he can do is stand real close. let the fat talk.
