If Kellyanne Conway wasn’t lying and calling for something that will never, ever happen, she might be in real trouble with her boss. Conway claims that Donald Trump would just love to see even more debates: “the country benefits from those type of forum and we’d be willing to do another one if somehow they can squeeze it in.”

Oh, sure. Having lost three debates in humiliating fashion, having watched his poll numbers tank through the weeks of the debates, having had his stamina badly taxed by the task of standing and listening to other people and responding to what they say for 90 whole minutes, no doubt Trump is eager to do it all again.

But Conway didn’t even mean it in a campaign spin kind of way. She just saw it as a way to roll out an attack on Hillary Clinton. See, the desire for another debate is out of deep concern for voters, because “unless you are a money donor, you are not going to have much access to Hillary Clinton out on the stump now. So, to give people a free opportunity to see them side by side and have them really mix it up on the issues to me is the purest form of democracy.” Uh huh. Whereas, who exactly has access to Donald Trump right now? Unless by “out on the stump,” Conway literally means that a debate is equivalent to a stump speech, which … would explain a lot, actually.

This is a stupid attack wrapped in a ridiculous lie. And it’s especially stupid because it reminds us all just how badly Trump lost the debates. All three of them. The only way he got any good reviews at all was by bombing the first debate so historically that he got credit for not tripping over his own shoelaces in subsequent debates. Yeah, sure, he wants another debate.
