Trump should hold the debate anyway, with an empty chair ala Eastwood
total of 20 questions.
All questions will be submitted two weeks prior to the "debate".
In other words, Joe will be reading off a monitor.
Maybe they will give him the questions...
DOES THIS DEBATE HAVE SPACIFIC TOPICS???
Biden will come down with a sudden illness. Probably COVID so he can blame Trump.
Even if this was true, how would President Biden deal with incorrigibly dishonest world leaders?
Who’s on deck for the dems if hiden biden gets the hook?
hildabeast - 1:1
big mike - 9:5

I had been wondering how Biden's handlers were going to get him out of the debates, especially after that disaster of a teleprompter response to a supposedly random question.
This scenario makes perfect sense.
The debates will be in Trumps terms. Hes the one in the White House. Stand back.
Yes yes every discussion of this is fascinating by people who have no idea what hes going to do pure guesswork.
Trump should announce that he will debate a lookalike Joe Biden if the JoHo wont show up
2nd debate: Joe has a fever, COVID-19 positive or pending, mandatory quarantine.
If there is a debate and Joe is struggling to keep afloat, what if Trump says Out of sympathy for Joe Biden I refuse to continue this debate. It is elder abuse and I wont do it. I have compassion for him.
Something like that. What would the response be?
.The physical and mental strain of high-level public speaking and debates can be arduous, even debilitating. For seniors especially, constant levels of high stress can cause dangerous and lasting effects, including high blood pressure, weakened immune system, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and an increased risk for heart disease. If the Democrats want a healthy Joe Biden in 2021 and beyond, they would be wise to have him skip the debates and all the preparation they require.
It’s been said before by many others, but, the presidency is the toughest job in the world.
And it’s been said before, to paraphrase, that if a presidential candidate can’t handle a debate, how is he/she going to handle the 3 a.m. phone call and various crises which will certainly happen during the term in office?
If Joe can’t handle all this, then why in the heck is he running for president?
The authors accounting of how his stage performances drained him physically and mentally made it clear to me—with hours of memorized lines, actions, expressions, emotions—that Biden can not withstand it for much longer.
He said he felt like he’d run a marathon after every performance. That’s what its like for Joe. It drains his battery during a stretch when there’s no time to recharge.
They know it, and keep him hidden. Hidey & Ho.
It is interesting to see the reactions and speculation and I have done it also.
However, when you really stop and think about this it is crazy and even insulting that one of our two major parties has nominated a person that even their own partisans do not feel capable of a simple “off the cuff” debate.
This is insane. Read foreign media and even they are saying that Biden is simply not up to this. I cannot think of a more difficult job than President of the US. I cannot think of a more consequential job in the world. It is intense from endless speaking engagements, appearances, pressers, meetings, and decisions.
Yet, here we are. Few believe he has the stamina and mental acuity for a 1 hour appearance, much less a 10 or 12 hour work-day.
Biden will debate, the expectations for his performance will be low, the MSM will report Biden far exceeded expectations, no matter how lousy he does.
They already have their “planned” excuse. Had it from the jump!
Biden was NEVER going to debate, how could he?
If he can’t even show up to debate, the Democrat’s propaganda arm, the MSM can try to spin that any way they want but it will definitely hurt Biden a lot.
No debates, waiting for the bait and switch, there will be a last minute candidate switch. Little time to do any opposition research etc.It might even be Jill or even MO. Just imagine if they propped up MO at the last minute. Talk about get out the vote.
