In a 14-second video announcement that required five jump cuts, Joe Biden announced this morning that he will participate in two debates against Donald Trump ahead of the November election.
i continue to expect the Dems to rely on one of two tactics; replace Biden with a 'sleeper' they consider attractive to the uninformed masses OR out-manuever DJT voters through legal and/or notsolegal means. Either way they win--or so they plan.
If I were on the Trump team preparing for this debate, I would have a concern about whether Biden could be coached or cued into providing an answer or response to a question given him. I would have a responsible individual look for an earpiece or some other form of device that that might be placed on him to assist him with a response.
Well, I like the idea of no audience and only the one talking having a mike on. Let Biden hang himself, don't interrupt him. However, it still won't be "fair". I don't know who might be substituted for Biden, but I am still in the camp of it being likely. Either that or they are sure they have the system set so that Biden or whichever dem they run will win. Only people with blinders on think the 2020 was a fair and secure election.
Erick, to ChazAtl’s point, I will vote and encourage others to as well. But the last four years, yesterday’s conspiracy is today’s headlines. I believe the DNC leadership is amoral, and there’s not much they won’t do to swing an election. There was lot of smoke in 2020, and lot’s of people just sweep it under the rug as the official line is, ‘it was the most perfect election in all of history’. My gut says it wasn’t and I’m not alone. What are we doing to ensure the winner and loser of 2024 is the actual winner and loser? Serious question, as when votes keep coming in weeks later and we find out, no, actually Biden won Michigan, and Utah, etc. and an election is flipped, or at 2 am the next day, various vote counts flip inexplicably, it’s just not going to work. Our country needs confidence that this election is straight up. Are you aware of how the GOP is going to keep diligent watch?
Just watched PBS’s ‘Mr Bates vs The Post Office’. Great example of the official line being, ‘This could never happen…you’re the only one.’, when in truth small patriotic Britons were being jacked by British institution too important to ever be wrong.
I know, frightening because those people in power were willing to destroy small peoples' lives for their sordid reasons. And they must imagine they will never be called to account.
Trump was in a catch 22. If he denies the debates he gets called scared. If he accepts it won’t be a fair debate.
Joe won’t drop out anymore than Trump would. If it’s a disaster for Joe, (spoiler alert) it will be, he won’t care.
He thinks he has it in the bag and he has reasons to think that. Mail in ballots are still a deciding factor in the swing states. I could go right now and get a mail in ballot for Penn if I wanted. There’s no reason or even verification. And 600k have already been requested.
I think money isn’t a factor. The candidates are well known. So how much ground game can there be?
Trump is getting all the press thanks to his sham trials.
I think it’s better with no audience. Whether “Biden” will actually show up is my question. They probably will decide the day of, based on his level of competence.
I wonder what knee pad artists are going to moderate this fiascos Will it be George Stepalloverus who we know is in the tank for dems he likes them slimy ask Hillary and what Trump hater from cnn they have a sh-t pile to pick from I don’t see a debate I see MSM trying to save Joey from Scrantons ass
There is no upside for trump to debate Biden and the moderators at CNN and ABC. Why before each candidate is even selected? Why no audiences? Maybe it could be too distracting for the current president?

My thoughts exactly.
...and i'd have an electronics geek supply DJT with a clandestine short range jammer....just in case!
These debates will be the highest-rated comedy shows of the season.

That’s a frightening series.

I was thinking earbuds so Biden would know what to say but I believe that you have something there. Let AI do all the talking.

Saying "good morning" coherently is too distracting for the current president.
