They have picked a format that will protect Biden from being badgered by Trump.
They NEED that format because of Biden’s cognitive decline and his irritability levels. The guy loses his cool easily, as soon as anything challenges his inability to think on his feet, and then he reverts to telling people they are lying dog faced pony soldiers.
HOWEVER, that does not mean it will stop CNN from badgering Trump.
This is the dichotomy or duplicity that I am curious to see. How differently will CNN treat the two?
I expect CNN will give Trump the Mike Wallace treatment on steroids
“protect Biden from being badgered by Trump”
Americans don’t like to see others mistreated.
