Donald Trump knows he can't handle a debate against Joe Biden, and he thinks he's found his way out, according to a formerly conservative columnist.
Columnist Jennifer Rubin — a conservative until Donald Trump came along — appeared on MSNBC on Sunday, where she was asked about Fox News' recent attack against Biden. Specifically, Fox hosts have been claiming that Biden is "jacked up" and needs to be drug tested before any debate with Trump.

Rubin explained that "this is a new Republican thing because Biden did so well at the State of the Union."
"They have to make up a story which is that he's jacked up. It is also becoming the excuse that Donald trump will use, I suspect, to get out of the debates."
She added that Trump "is just playing chicken."
"He knows he can't hold it together for a full 90 minutes or two hours so is looking for excuses."
