Trump needs the debates. Biden does not. Without the debates, Biden will win this thing running away.
There will be no debates. Why would Joe Biden agree to debate? What does he stand to gain? Absolutely nothing.
Biden picks (for example) Stacy Abrams for the VP slot.
Biden wins the general, thanks to the support of the MSM, the BLM movement, the GOPe.
The day after the inauguration Biden resigns, citing ill health.
Stacy Abrams becomes president.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg resigns from the Supreme Court, citing ill health.
Abrams appoints Keith Ellison to fill the vacant spot.
The America we knew is finished.
I got as far as this part, looked to see what the publication was and who the author was and stopped in my tracks.
Lol! What a joke.
Reading the NY Times makes you stupider. Every time I do it, my brain feels cheap and used.
“... Trump is badly trailing in the polls” So why Pravda, should Joey Fingers worry about Trump catching up?
I mean, holy crap! Two comments in and I've already seen their readers argue that Trump is scared to debate Biden because Biden is sharp as a tack and battle tested whereas Trump is soft because he only gets softball questions all day from a conservative media! Biden can pivot quickly and is on top of all the topics whereas Trump is completely lost without his teleprompter.
My poor brain.
Talk about living in a bubble....
they’ll be just as surprised Nov 3/4 as last time.
Myopia is the democrat downfall.
“Biden being a responsible individual and role model”
Stop it, Tommy, you’re killing me.
In an effort to assist the Biden team in the debate preparation, I offer this suggestion. Forward to 1:25 minutes into this clip from the movie “Forbidden Zone.” This could work with Biden!

The fact that these "two conditions" were not then immediately listed was all the evidence I needed that this is a "puff piece."
Regards,
I’m sure Trump wouldn’t mind if Joe was in a specially built plexiglass box ,LOL
The rest of it is behind their paywall. What are the “two conditions” the NYT wants?
I figured Biden would try to weasel his way out of the debates. He knows that Trump will just keep throwing out “you’ve been involved in politics for 50 years, and didn’t fix anything, what makes you can fix it now?” everytime Biden opens his mouth.
Conditions Gracie
BS, cooked up in the NYT’s newsroom.
Just having Biden be who he is gives Trump the advantage. Can’t say that it is an un-fair advantage; just that it is what it is.
If Biden’s health is so fragile that he has to hide at home perpetually, how does he propose to function as President?
Friedman can spin that Biden is responsible and setting an example, but we all know that a candidate has to take risks. Hiding in these circumstances is tactical and cowardly.
If he comes off as an unprepared, lost in the glare, befuddled old man who can't keep his place in the script, then all bets are off.
And that's considering a virtual convention without the added distraction of 20,000 screaming delegates packed into an echoing convention center.
