Lol I really want Cuban to primary him now. It's incredibly obvious he's scared of it. Cuban would wreck him in the debates.

Although Trump'd probably just skip them.

Yeah, I don't think any incumbent president has ever agreed to debate a primary challenger (though maybe I'm forgetting someone?), so I presume Trump would not agree to debate.

OTOH, if Trump gets two primary challengers rather than one, the two challengers (say, Cuban and Kasich) could have their own debate, and spend the whole hour ripping on Trump.  Trump would complain and demand equal time, though the network could just tell him that he's welcome to show up for the next debate if he wants to rebut them.

Trump will be too fat to run by 2020. The tub of gobsh**te watches TV all day, golfs, and eats like a pig

Funny he thinks Hillary will run again.

Funny he thinks Hillary will run again.

Well, he's a consumer of conservative media, and outlets like Breitbart and The Daily Caller occasionally trot out the "Hillary Clinton is coming back in 2020" meme in a way that doesn't typically happen in more mainstream outlets.  E.g., here's a Newsmax story from earlier this year:
