Biden campaign rebukes Trump effort to push for more debates
The Hill ^ | 06 18 2020 | Zack Budryk

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign on Thursday rejected reported plans by President Trump’s reelection campaign to push for scheduling further presidential debates between the two.

Kate Bedingfield, the deputy campaign manager and communications director for the Biden campaign said that now that Trump is dipping in the polls, he wants to refocus attention on his campaign for additional debates.

“Six months after announcing he did not want to debate, Donald Trump — now trailing in the polls — wants to change the subject from his failed leadership, and launch a ‘campaign’ for many debates. But there’s a catch: he’ll only do it if he can pick the moderators,” Bedingfield said in a statement.

Trump team to press for more debates against Biden

My proposal for debates:

No debates run by mainstream media outlets with their own moderators.

Trump picks two moderators and Biden picks two moderators.

They should have Ann Coulter moderate. Both candidates might end up pummeling her.

At this point, Biden has everything to lose and nothing to gain from debating Trump.

That makes total sense to me. The RNC should insist on it.

Not a chance Biden will win. He cannot even bring in a crowd in his home state.

Just opt to do it in Biden’s basement.

Slow Joe can stay in his chair.

A couple of weeks ago the Braindead Biden campaign stated Biden is doing just fine hiding in his basement. He meets with two people a day.
Today, he made a speech that lasted a mere 18 minutes and he began to visually fade after about 16 minutes. By the 18th minute, he was visibly exhausted and barely audible.
There’s a common thread here that Hellery and Biden have in common, the less the public sees of them the better they poll with the public.

Biden is not the candidate. Whoever he is told to pick for Veep is the real candidate. Biden’s cabinet will 25th him six months after he is sworn in

In his last staged debate with crazy Bernie in DC, Sleepy Joe up big at the time still lost at least 10 points in polls when ppl realized how old and sick he looked on HDTV.

And PA isn’t his actual “home state”. He has no history there after he was 10 years old. He only uses his childhood connection to PA When he wants to pander to blue collar voters. He lied and said he worked in the mines, and that’s the reason he likes to be called, “Lunchbox Joe”.

Well the guy is in his 4th Presidential run...He’s going to pretty much hide the entire summer don’t see how that is a winning strategy as Trump once he really kicks into overdrive will be doing 3-4 events a day with massive crowds I guess he just hopes the media pushes him over the finish line

At this point, I don't care if Biden debates or not. He is history either way.
Let the Trump rallies begin Saturday.

I thought the Dems wanted “more conversations” and “more dialogue.”

We keep being told we need to have more conversations about RACE and helping minority communities. Let’s do it, 40-year-in-government Sleepy Joe!

What are you talking about? Polling data has Biden easily beating Trump by a comfortable margin.

Of all the Democrats, the only one who was able to generate anything even close to the enthusiasm, the excited, loyal, enthusiastic crowds in anything close to the numbers that Trump generates is Bernie. Luckily the Dems kneecapped Bernie.
Selling Biden is like selling hot, tasteless, flat beer.

That’s what I mean. Why would Biden risk that by debating Trump? He will lose that debate.

We are going on at least twenty years of having at least one of the two top contenders for the most important job in the world being known by his or her own most fervent supporters as a bad interviewer for that job. There is something profoundly screwed up with that.
