I’m with you!I never understand why we always negotiate against ourselves. Is this the best Trump could have done with the panel and moderators? Would the Biden team have walked away if Trump demanded something better? I just don’t understand the strategy here.

Would the Biden team have walked away if Trump demanded something better?

That's my best guess. Trump rarely has an opportunity to be seen by the general public without the media filter and needs these debates. Hence, he was at a disadvantage from the get-go with the Debate Commission.

As VP Mike Pence showed last Thursday night, it is possible to win a debate even if the moderator has a built in bias.

Very few insider, Elite, Swamp Republicans want Trump to win. Look what Bob Dole said ....he is friends with all the Republicans on the debate commission and all of them are against Trump. Trump has exposed these evil people for what they are : elite globalists who are only interested in staying in that category.
