Well if Trump said it, it must be the truth... ;-)

Just joshing. Again, I think it's too early to know. If Trump decides at some point that debating would be in his interests, or he just can't stand the FOMO, he WILL devise some excuse for changing his mind. Count on it. Making a statement has never once locked Trump into following through on it.

All true. Depends in part on who he's facing. Last time, everyone he faced, except for Hilary, pretty much folded when he began attacking them. This time? Wasn't Christie coaching him for the 2020 debates? Christie, so far, seems to be fighting against him. Not holding much hope that he continues. Pence will fold, so will the others probably. Ronnie? Depends. But the fact that he signed several of his most controversial bills almost behind closed doors doesn't exactly say much for his courage. Personally, I think he's all talk and bluff. He's riding high because he's got a tame legislature. The fact that he's losing populated parts of FL to Ds isn't helping him. And I think Disney is just getting started. Not to mention if FL gets another Andrew or Ian and he does nothing, he'll be toast. Which, again, leaves Trump in charge of the party.
