Its long past time for the GOP to totally boycott the so called debate commission. They are nothing but the propaganda, disinformation and dirty tricks department of the Democratic Party. President Trump is the biggest ratings magnet in politics on the planet. He don't need no steeenking debate commision to get his message out.

Seems to me that Cruz has acted honorably since dropping out of the primary.

I disagree. It will be used to say Trump is to sick, and trigger the 25th amendment.

Trump is acting like a toddler, and it will kill him eventually. I just hope it doesn’t kill us

A virtual debate, would be the equivalent of an ‘open book’ test (like in schools), where the answers to the questions could be obtained ahead of time, and easily looked up ahead of time, with the book of answers being the internet and/or Joe’s campaign staff, with the answers copied to Joe’s teleprompter ready for him to read from.

IOW, it’s a cheater’s best method for debating.

Trump could use that same method to have answers readily available, but, he’s already said he’s not doing the virtual type of debating. Joe and his campaign staff, and his media buddies, are all ready for Joe to do that kind of debate.

Did anyone see Ainsley cut off Cruz when he said Wallace did a terrible job? She shut him down and said Chris Wallace is their friend. So Ainsley, you stab your fans in the back to defend Wallace?

One by one FOX is cutting the ties to f affection and trust of their fans.

I'd like to opine on the question of the type of questions. The moderators from the mainstream media and associated outlets have their own world view. They ask questions based on that world view.

The debate commission does not select moderators for their impartiality. I'm not sure what criterion they do use, but I suspect they try for people as moderators who appear to the country to be well-educated on the facts.

So, the pool of potential moderators tends to be well to the left. No government person in their right mind would even consider Rush Limbaugh for the job, for example.

“I think at the first debate … Chris Wallace did a terrible job moderating

I hear him say this on FOX and Friends this morning. Then that Ainsley gal had to interrupt and defend Chrissy Wallace because he's part of the FOX family?! This Ainsley gal was the same one all upset that as a DIVORCED SINGLE MOM she couldn't get assistance for her Au Pair to stay in the country illegally.

When I was a kid, my friend Jimmy told me he could jump over his house.

Turns out he couldn’t do it.

He just said he could.

President Trump is a professional builder.

He knows how to plan, organize, lead and coordinate.

Joe Biden is a professional talker.

He knows how to tell you stories about Shoe Leather and Cornpop.

Which one should be President of our country?

Interesting how Cruz tried to expose Chris Wallace for the jerk he was and, Ainsley Earhart stuck up for Wallace. Word must have come down from on high that he is their guy.

If Trump agreed to a virtual debate, Biden’s flying monkeys would have him so trussed up with wires, earphones, and teleprompters he’d look like a head in a Bell jar. Good not for Trump to fall for it.

A virtual debate would be a disaster for President Trump.

Slo Joe would have a lot of help behind the scenes and the democrat activist moderator will cut the feed from Trump or mute him whenever they want.

And like someone earlier said, Trump doesn’t need debates. Biden does.

Biden knew exactly beforehand that the Debate Commission was going to announce that the next debate would be a virtual one. This was all pre-planned to get Biden out of having to do another Debate. The Debate Commission is a willing accomplice of the Democrat/Biden campaign.

The Commission knew this would be a poison pill for the Trump campaign, and that Trump would refuse to go along with it. That is why they did this. And announced it at 7 a.m. this morning in order to get it into the news cycle immediately to occupy the entire day’s news, and wipe out all coverage of Pence beating the pants off (not a hard thing to do for Kamala re her pants) of Kamala in the Debate. Covering up for her rotten performance and lousy Debate ratings. Everyone who watched the Debate knew Pence decimated Harris.

The Commission, in collusion with the Biden campaign, made sure that the MSM would muffle informing the public about the Debate results (Pence won big-time), and switch to the “will there be another Debate” mantra, and blame it all on Trump if the next Debate doesn’t take place. And the Biden/MSM/Debate Commission cabal will make sure there is no 3rd debate either.

So, I say the President should not do any more Debates. Pence left with the VP Debate ending on a high note. Just do a huge rally in key states on the original dates the Debates would have taken place. He’ll get a lot more play; Biden is going to allegedly have a Town Hall on Debate Night; Trump should have a huge rally with every big name from his campaign or other big supporters getting on stage with him and saying a few words. Like Don Jr., Eric & Ivanka, maybe Dan Bongino, Mark Levin making appearances (if Fox will not interfere with threats if they chose to appear) all his good champions, Ted Cruz, Lemon, Gaetz, Cotton, whomever, making appearances at the mega-rally. Get Rush Limbaugh to appear, that would draw thousands to the rally. Vary the mega supporters between the 2 Debate night dates that will not be taking place. I’m relieved there will be no Debates, because the pre-debate and post-debate analysis on TV including on Fox, will be chock full of Trump haters and Dems and squishy RINO’s like Dana Perino reviewing Trump’s performance negatively.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Do 2 mega rallies with all the big guns you can bring to the rally and let Biden do his little Town Hall whom no one will watch. Screw the Debates; do what you do best. MAGA!
