WSB radio just announced Trump will not participate in the virtual debate next week. That's all I have so far.

Edited to add:

Pres Trump: "I'm not going to waste my time on a virtual debate." Fox Business interview with Maria Bartiromo

Propose one more debate on the condition that Larry Elder is the moderator.

Trump is on Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business and says he is not doing a virtual debate like the commission on debates is announcing.

Pres Trump: "I'm not going to waste my time on a virtual debate."

The above is a headline on Fox Business.

I hope this is part of some super great strategy that I just can’t see.

I think we should give Biden every opportunity to be on camera.

You can’t see it because it was announced before talking to Trump camp about whether these terms are acceptable. That in itself was rude, biased, and unacceptable.

Biden is a cheater and this format will be a disaster.

Video clip:

https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1314174965978198018

Trump just now on Fox Business: “I’m not gonna do a virtual debate.”

“I’m not gonna waste my time on a virtual debate.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/08/business/media/trump-biden-debate-virtual.html

Mr. Trump said he only learned of the debate commission’s decision on Thursday morning, minutes before he got on the phone for an interview. He accused the commission of “trying to protect Biden.”

BREAKING: The presidential debate next week will be virtual, according to the Commission on Presidential Debates. The candidates will participate from separate remote locations...

Joe is afraid.
Joe is too old and frail to be president.

How would they assure us that Biden is not wired or checking a teleprompter in a virtual debate?

It helps that Pence definitively won last night, easier to turn down a crooked virtual debate.

Spin, why give Bidet what he wants, no debate? No debate means Bidet has the media put out his massaged info unchecked.

Let them have a debate with a flat trump (card board cut out) it would be the same thing. Moderator would not have to shut off trump, Biden can read from a teleprompter and have the answers right in front of him.

Me neither.

My best explanation is that Trump's internal polling shows him surging and he has nothing to gain from the exposure.

However that runs counter to all of the polls averaged by Real Clear Politics. If he is in fact behind it makes no sense to throw away the opportunity. Coming as it does in the wake of breaking off negotiations on the virus bailout monies, it seems illogical. I just don't get it.

They could “trust but verify.” Each side could put inspectors / observers in the enemy camp.

Wow. Not even a pause to think about it? Seems a little hasty.
