He's not wrong.

Because once one is ahead, one doesn't do a rematch with a loser.

(Just pointing out that Rep Collins' statement can be taken multiple ways.)

why not? if he won so greatly, what does he have to lose?

[-] Neon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Everything

That's like saying "I already won once gambling, why wouldn't I do it again". Stupid.

If winning a debate is a gamble, maybe your position isn't strong enough. If he's confident about having won this last debate he shouldn't be afraid of doing it again

How to tell who debate

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

It seems like if you think you won, why would you want to do a second debate?

[-] Wilzax@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Debates = Air time = more eyes on you = more voter engagement = better odds of winning the election (if you think you benefit from more voter engagement)

[-] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

Because you won. And want to do it again. Same reason Trump demanded another debate after the one against Biden.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

more winning?

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago

I feel like this could go both ways though.

"I don't want to get my ass kicked again."

Or

"I already won once so why would I risk messing up with a second one?"
