I really wish Trump would expend his energy on the rallies and not the debate. The debate won’t help change anyone’s mind, given how biased and filtered it will be. The constant rallies might.
For a “real” debate, I’m all for a mute button. but it needs to apply to all three of them, including the moderator.
This may get interesting. :)
Speaking of future presidential debates if Biden steals the election is pointless. Big Tech and the democrat party will choose future “republican” presidential candidates, assuming they even allow the farce of a future republican candidate.
I’m guessing that when Joe gets two minutes, he will get two minutes.
I’m also guessing that when Trump gets two minutes, Joe will be muted, but the moderator may still jump in and interrupt, correct, and argue with the president, thereby disrupting his two minutes.
The image of a muted Donald Trump is going the be the headline. I’m not watching this setup.
Much like Twitter attempting to silence news on the Biden emails only resulted in giving the story more visibility, attempting to control the debate to Biden’s advantage will undoubtably backfire spectacularly.
AMEN.
That is what is happening here, and it is an utter and complete travesty that should not be given any legitimacy by the President’s participation in it. The Trump campaign should announce today that it will not participate in any debate process in which the rules are fundamentally changed at the last minute to benefit the Democrats. It should notify the Commission that the President will not participate unless the obviously-biased moderator is replaced, the mute button is removed and the subject matter of the debate is returned to its original intent. This is not the debate the Campaign and RNC agreed to, and it should not be held.
More than that, Ronna Romney McDaniel and the RNC should also send a formal letter to the CPD notifying them that, unless the President’s demands are met, the Republican Party will no longer allow its presidential candidates to participate in any future debates organized by this entity, due to this year’s utter and complete tilting of the playing field.
Enough of this fraud. President Trump has all the momentum going in his direction in this campaign right now. Thursday’s debate would do nothing to help that, but could do it harm with a bad Presidential performance. There is no advantage for the Trump campaign to legitimize the process anymore.
Boycott it, schedule a campaign rally in a key swing state during the same time slot and be done with it.
ENOUGH. "
^^^^^ Yeah. This right here.
According to this article, the mute button is only active during the two minutes of "speechifying." After that there is a period of time when both candidates may speak.
To me, this is just enforcing common courtesy. You should have enough self control to not speak over the other person while they are making their point.
Being President is a high stress 24x7 job. Does anyone *really* think he is capable of executing the duties of the office?
The big difference is....on all topics...he has no successes in any category.
Not only that, she spent her Christmas with the Obama’s, she gave questions to the Hilary Clinton campaign person when she thought the camera was off and she consistently repeats Dem talking points when asking questions at the White House.
Why Trump would agree to such a debate under these conditions is beyond me.
Every effort must be made to convince President Trump to boycott this sham debate and do a townhall or a massive rally.
As long as they mute the Leftist moderator I’m good.
IF they use the mute button to cut off President Trump the far left will cheer but anyone reasonable is going to be reviled and repulsed by it. These debates are farcical state “inquisitions” of the President, not debates.
Screw these debates!!!!!!!!!!
They’re only designed to protect the pedo, and muzzle the President.
Go have a MASSIVE RALLY somewhere one’s needed!
Nobody is undecided at this late date. If you’re undecided you’re not gonna vote. Trump needs to blow this off and do a rally.
