Biden lays out his terms for debating Trump

quote:
President Biden is willing to debate former President Donald J. Trump at least twice before the election, and as early as June — but his campaign is rejecting the nonpartisan organization that has managed presidential debates since 1988, according to a letter obtained by The New York Times.
quote:
Mr. Biden and his top aides want the debates to start much sooner than the dates proposed by the Commission on Presidential Debates, so voters can see the two candidates side by side well before early voting begins in September. They want the debate to occur inside a TV studio, with microphones that automatically cut off when a speaker’s time limit elapses. And they want it to be just the two candidates and the moderator — without the raucous in-person audiences that Mr. Trump feeds on and without the participation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or other independent or third-party candidates.
quote:
The letter, signed by Mr. Biden’s campaign chair, Jennifer O’Malley Dillon, and addressed to the Commission on Presidential Debates, notifies the group that Mr. Biden will not be participating in the three general-election debates sponsored by the commission, which are scheduled for Sept. 16, Oct. 1 and Oct. 9.

What a joke

I don't really have a problem with cutting off hot mics when the time is up. shite got out of hand with everyone yelling over each other.
I'm sure there will be some frickery though.

An incumbent pushing for debate is a major sign of weakness.
The person polling well doesn’t need the debate because of the high downside.

This should be an easy "no" for Trump. Not because he doesn't want to do the election commission debates, but because his other demands are ridiculous.

Finally we are heading in the right direction

This could theoretically work as long as the mic is only cut based on time, and not due to a "fact checker" or "neutral arbiter" AND both candidates agreeing on a moderator.

A June debate means that people will forget about it by September. There is a reason for that.

- Potty breaks every half an hour
- Pudding cups will be provided for Mr. Biden
I hope the Trump campaign lays out counter-proposals, or just tells them to pound sand.

Trump can crush his demands with one stipulation of his own
" No breaks to "clean up" when you shite your diaper" the debate is from start to finish with no breaks.

They’re requiring terms that Trump will likely reject which Biden and his MSM minions will spin it into Trump not wanting to debate. Their worst nightmare is their babbling idiot boss debating Trump.

I'm ok with these two but there should also be a 3rd debate in October, you know, right before the majority of people vote on Election Day. They should also get more than 2 minutes to talk on a topic. Make the debates 3 hours long and give at least 5 minutes for each response and say 3.5 minutes for a rebuttal.
Also, early voting starting in September is insane.

This is just a trap... Trump would spend all his time straightening out Biden's lies and never get to say what he wants... This is a damned if you do damned if you don't and the dems know this..

Debates are bullshite, anyway.
You're going to have a moderator who talks over Trump, interrupts him incessantly, cuts out mics arbitrarily, if there is an audience it will be screened and tilted and then you will have a spin machine framing the debate after it's over. No matter how you put it on, no one is going to accept what's said. It will be Biden repeating the talking points coming through an IFB and Trump shouting over a biased moderator.
The real debate is the battle of spin machines, podcasts, blogs, new media and traditional media outlets. Putting on the Trump vs Biden circus will be about as interesting as it was the last time.

Biden can't hear his earpiece with a "raucous" crowd.
They also know he is rapidly declining so they want to debate as soon as possible.

Brandons campaign is desperate. Even a juiced-up Biden will look like a fool trying to lie about his record. They are throwing a Hail Mary that Trump will look like a bully while abusing poor old senile Joe.

what does I hear you are free on Wednesdays mean? This probably took 6 hours to make they clip it in pieces

I would prefer zero moderators. Have the microphone cutoff automatic. Each candidate gets to ask the questions.
Trump to Biden, Biden to Trump.
Trump to Biden, Biden to Trump.
