wrong as usual
all the moderator has to do is mute the person who is not supposed to be talking. We will be able to see the the orange baboon scream like a 1920s movie... with no sound

Someone lacks the ... imagination? Lets call it imagination, someone lacks the imagination to deduce that that is the very reason Trump backs out. If he cant scream like a child interrupt and make a shit show of things, he has already lost and he knows it.

Biden would then be accused of being a literal mouthpiece for George Soros who was clearly whispering in his ears... :D
Well, since they have invisible hearing aids, Trump could equally be so accused... Vladimir Putin's boys.

Whatever happens, it's clear that any debate involving trump need strict time limits for responses. The time limits shoudl be enforced using technology and no leeway should be given. Give them an audible ding when there is 15 seconds left and then the mic is cut. When it is not your turn to speak your mic should also be muted.

Hillary Clinton and Democrats much? Because they are the only ones to actually have been proven to have used Russian information to interfere with elections.

Sigh.

When can I expect the Presidents Justice Department to charge them.
This claim is another addition to all the other horrible things I have heard over the decade, yet no action has been taken. When can I expect action to be taken?

They are going to take another pass at her emails, same for Benghazi, then crack the pizzagate email code and finally get to this. All of this is coming immediately after the election.

Do we REALLY need more debates? At all??? I say NO MORE DEBATES. America has had enough of Donald Trump, plenty enough. And, this is no longer amusing or entertaining, not in the least. No more debates, no more Donald Trump lying, no more Donald Trump insulting the intelligence of the American people. Jim Jones had his cult but that did not mean that everyone had to go along.

When the Biden campaign suggested the debate be moved to the 22nd, Trump said nope. When the debate commission said OK, it'll have to be virtual, Trump said nope. So Biden scheduled a virtual town hall instead. Maybe Trump can whip up a rally in some cozy covid hotspot. Aww, Hell- he can bring it with him & spread it around. It's a gift from God, right?

The commission should show backbone and not back down. They've decided and backing down makes no sense. There's no information that the Trump people can provide to justify a reversal. If anything, the Trump people have shown themselves to be on the wrong side of covid-19 safety discussions, from a nation wide standpoint, and concerning themselves personally. They thumbed their noses at the commission, the Cleveland Clinic too at the first debate. They have this coming.
I honestly think Team Trump is knowingly trying to get Joe sick right before the election. It's their Hail Mary pass because they can say "See, we told you sleepy Joe was weak." Hell, it might even kill him which they would thrilled about. The last election proved they are willing to win at all costs.

Biden's team should be doing everything in their power to keep him from getting sick between now and January. He has everything to lose and nothing to gain being around those with malintent as most people already have their minds made up anyway.

Edited to fix silly mistake.

Did anyone expect another reaction from Trump? The Man Child doesn't know how to debate. All he knows how to do is try to yell, intimidate, Bully, distract with lies and manipulated personal attacks.. When not in the same room, he can't as easily do most of those, can't try to intimidate the moderator, and people will see thru his charade.

HE thinks he can tho, is roided up, and losing badly.

He's as crazy and desperate as a starving raccoon.

There is no barrier he won't cross if he thinks it would help him

I'm not sure they would be allowed to do that. ...I think there is some broadcasting licensing when it comes to presidential election policy/fairness, especially as it relates to the official debates, that each candidate has to be given "Equal airtime." Obviously all candidates for years have essentially been flouting this as they extend their time and talk over each others, Trump of course taking that to new, petulant levels of playground asshatery, but nonetheless, I *don't think* any Network would be allowed to air one of the official debates as one candidate participating.
If I'm not mistaken you only have to "offer" time to the other side. If Trump refuses all bets may be off
