Debates between candidates for the Presidency have been conducted by something known as the Commission on Presidential Debates. Over the years it has deteriorated into a partisan quagmire.
The board of directors are no longer associated with the two major parties, now consisting of former lawmakers and the CEOs of major companies, among others, but the lack of transparency about how the commission raises funds has attracted scrutiny.This sterling group really has solidified its own destruction with its overtly biased production.In 2008, the Center for Public Integrity labeled the Commission on Presidential Debates a “secretive tax-exempt organization.”
The committee raises the bulk of its funds through private donors which have never been disclosed.
The personal views of board members is also a point of contention.
They chose anti-Trump democrat hack Chris Wallace as the moderator for the first debate.
The first presidential debate was a fiasco. It was moderated by the long-time liberal Fox News anchor Chris Wallace. He embarrassed himself with a stunningly biased performance. He interrupted President Donald Trump 76 times, as opposed to only 15 interruptions of former Vice President Joe Biden. The questions were slanted towards Biden and the only tough questions were directed at President Trump.Wallace changed the listed topics to include ones he could use to smear Trump.Wallace interjected almost every talking point for the Democrats. He asked about old issues such as the 2017 Charlottesville, VA rally and demanded that the president once again condemn white supremacists. Even though all the riots in 2020 were led by radical leftist organizations like Antifa and Black Lives Matter, Wallace was uninterested in discussing it.
Instead, he wanted to explore issues such as Covid-19, climate change, and anything that could possibly be detrimental to President Trump. Of course, Biden received a pass on his son’s questionable consulting contracts, his interference in prosecutions in Ukraine, his friendship with white supremacist Democrats in the United States Senate, his “manifesto” with radical socialists in the Democratic Party, his constant flip-flopping, his lack of law enforcement endorsements and his delay in condemning the Antifa riots.
The Commission chose the "non-partisan" C-SPAN host Steve Scully for the second debate, but Scully would prove himself to be what he has always been- a Biden water boy.
Scully sent Anthony Scaramucci a tweet that was probably meant to be a DM.
Interesting tweet from debate moderator Steve Scully to Anthony Scaramucci. https://t.co/3iRN9lidR6 pic.twitter.com/gImyfTCz9C

Scully immediately denied it, asserting his account was hacked.

But, of course, it wasn't hacked. Scully lied. He was suspended indefinitely by C-SPAN. Steve Scully was an intern for Joe Biden.
The second debate was canceled.
The third debate looms and we learn who the moderator will be.

NO MORE RIGGED DEBATES!!
The very idea of muting microphones harkens back to when The Gipper took charge in a 1980 NH debate and proclaimed, IIRC,
“Mr. Moderator, I am paying for this microphone!”
PDJT absolutely must not subject himself to any more of this treachery. He needs to speak directly, unfiltered, to we the people!!
A set up just like the others. He should tell them to bug off. They eliminated two of the most important issues, the economy and foreign policy. WTF. He should pass.
Trump has nothing to gain from this debate, and a lot to lose. He has momentum, and the MSM will use this opportunity to kill it.
I think he should pull a Pence, that you for that question but first let me talk about this success and that success and Biden’s corrupt son.
Wouldn’t it be something if Biden bailed out because he has been exposed as a corrupt criminal. In fact what if he had to pull out the race.
OTOH, there would be value in having the left try to silence Trump for the whole world to see.
Frustrating and aggravating as it would be to watch, nobody could any longer say it’s just perception.
If the President decides to skip the debate it would be advisable to wait until late Wednesday or early Thursday to do it. Let Biden stay locked down prepping for as long as possible and it leaves less time for one of the media outlets to set something up to give him another softball interview or town hall.
Agreed.
He should hit the big guy as a preamble to every answer...not just his son, make him deny he met with bought foreigners in his office, got kickbacks from his son, KNEW about his son’s dealings.ETC
Biggest thing is for him to keep control of himself...he rubbed a lot of people wrong by interrupting. I KNOW they both did it. Lots of people thought both were more like school kids than presidential candidates...This is not the Idiocracy...yet.
But hit hard and hit every response opportunity.He’ll gain 2-3 points.
Yep, strong, firm, confident and succinct. Talk about accomplishments and vision for the future.
President Trump needs to bring a portable loudspeaker to the debate, when the Demonicrat Commission tries to switch off his mike at his mention of the Biden Crime Family and Hunter’s incriminating hard drive evidence.
It will be a Biden infomercial with Trump muted.
One, I have already voted, so, the debate means nothing to me. But, I think Trump should walk over to Hiden and kiss him on the lips.
The problem is that he can’t. The moderator is a Biden shill and has control over the mic kill switch. He wouldn’t get two words out before she cut him off and admonished him for “speaking out of turn”.
Trump should ask the moderator if she has read Joe his Miranda Rights, and offer her a Rights Warning Card if she hasn’t.
She doesn't. the mic is open for the full two minutes of your "response" whatever you want to say. It's the other person who is cut off during those two minutes.
He doesn’t need to speak out of turn. He can zing Joe at every turn.
PLUS, if they mute him and not slojo, while the MSM would gloat, voters will be pissed.
The moderator has already said she will NOT ALLOW any discussion of the Hunter laptop scandal. If the President tries to say anything, she will drop the hammer. We already know this is what will happen.
Where did you hear that?
Heard Rush say it yesterday on his show.
