“Taking the wind out of their sails” is what comes to mind when I think of this. :)
The day after, MSM will be turing cartweheels to suppress/lie about the ratings.
Trump will rule the airwaves.
Stephy will have 10 viewers, Trump will have 25 million.
And the Debate commission looks foolish and partisan and they failed to save Biden.
People will finally get to hear Biden unfiltered.
It ain't going to be pretty.
Still, the majority will be tuning in to hear President Trump.
I just can’t see Biden following through with this. The stress of what’s coming out, and, worse, what HE knows is still hidden and might come out, should have him near a breakdown. He’s so fragile, I can’t see him not being affected by all of this.
ABC will have Biden and puffball questions and NBC will have Trump and loaded questions trying to take him down. People will watch Trump, more fun, more informative, more substantial. Of coarse if you have trouble falling asleep watch Biden, you will be out like a light in 5 minutes.
I guess NBC wanted to take a share away from ABC; this will be a great opportunity for Trump to publicize the smoking guns about Biden’s corruption on national media! Despite media attempts at censorship, the word now has a fighting chance of getting out to the wider population.
Biden will get one softball question about his son setting up the Ukrainian guy to meet him and he’ll give one quick little reply like, “It doesn’t show up on my calendar”, and that will be it.
I don’t know that Trump will beat him in ratings. After all, who wouldn’t tune in to watch how many gaffes and flubs come from Dementia Joe? It could be a comedy riot!
The bet here is that Trump will have more viewers than Biden by a minimum of 2-1.
Another brilliant tactical move by Trump.
ABC: Vice President and soon to be President of The USA Biden, what flavor ice cream do you favor and why?
NBC: Mr. Trump, why did you wait so long on Covid while millions died?
Rather than a ‘town hall’ - dueling speeches..
Be great if they snipped in stuff from the competing event for an answer !
I would think fewer viewers tuning in to watch BiteMe self-destruct would be a good thing as far as his handlers are concerned...
The Commission is a Leftist joke.
Wanna know what is even more delicious?
The cable media either won’t carry any of it or...they will have to pay YUGE money to carry any one of the feeds.
Both?
They don’t have that kind of money.
And, because of copyright laws, the other media outlets can’t run a play-by-play of the townhalls.
Trump is “heaping hot coals on” the head of NBC through his kindness.
And C-Span.
And PBS (Judy haz the sadz).
I think Joe will have a meltdown or he will be pumped with meds to prop him up.
Trump will get at least twice as many viewers. No one is interested in listening to Biden respond to scripted softball questions from Biden voters. They would rather listen to Trump respond to hostile questions fired at him to handpicked Trump haters.
