This is how Jake Tapper, next week’s debate moderator, reacted to the 2020 results: He called the Trump presidency a time of lies, cruelty and inhumanity

I can't believe Trump agreed to this debate with him moderating it.

[cgbg]

Yup—having committed leftists “moderating” a debate is like walking into a minefield with bare feet.

I was about to say the same thing. He caved on everything Biden wanted. He’s knowingly agreed to walk into an ambush. Confidence is good. Overconfidence not so much.

[Puppage]

Perhaps he thinks Biden will fail miserably despite the moderator?

[AnotherUnixGeek]

This is an election year ritual - the Republican nominee agrees to everything the Democrats want for the debates, including blatantly hostile, biased left-wing moderators. No matter who the nominee is, the pattern never changes.

The media debaters will either play nice to avoid criticism or will be partisan hacks. Suspect the latter.

“... is like walking into a minefield with bare feet.”

No question or accusation is bad if properly responded to by an innocent person.

Tapper has established his audience of Trump haters and now his job is to keep feeding it. If he loses that audience, ne loses his job.

[JBW1949]

I think Trump knows what is going on...My guess is he’ll be ready...

[cgbg]

“No question or accusation is bad if properly responded to by an innocent person.”

When did you stop raping women?

Lol.

[KamperKen]

Perhapds, just perhaps, Trump will lash out at Tapper in a very big way. Make the debate about the fake news and the lying propagandists.

[gibsonguy]

One would have thought Trump would have learned his lesson with Chris Wallace. I’m sick to death of having the deck against us every freaking time.

[GOPJ]

Didn't that idiot Jake Tapper also believe Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation?

And that Covid came from a wet-market bat soup?

And that if Trump won he would be 'Hitler'... and every other idiot liberal conspiracy bit of crap that most citizens didn't fall for?

He's the moderator? Has he given the questions to Biden's goons yet? Or allowed them to be 'leaked'? Where's Donna when you need her, right?

And the questions and suggestions made in news packets (DNC via corrupt 'intelligence' services)? Are those 'tactics' going to be used to stick it to Trump to get him angry? Are you Jake Tapper going to use those you effing CNN idiot?

History will be watching Tapper... and we'll have the video tapes to prove that once again the MSM has been 'taken' - played for fools by people who hate our country. It's gonna be Hunter's laptop and the bat sh*t soup all over again, And this time Tappers name will be all over the lie.

“I can’t believe Trump agreed to this debate with him moderating it.”

Exactly. Trump (or his staff) had to realize that this was not gonna be anything close to a fair fight. The moderators were gonna throw softball questions to Biden and blast away at Trump.

A person doesn’t need to have a PhD in Political Science to figure it out.

“This is an election year ritual - the Republican nominee agrees to everything the Democrats want for the debates, including blatantly hostile, biased left-wing moderators. No matter who the nominee is, the pattern never changes.”

It is frustrating.

Democrats seek every advantage possible. It’s a winning formula in business, sports and war.

Republicans always accept the terms and conditions of the Democrats.

The Republican voters deserve better.

[9YearLurker]

Should he really talk about the media that honestly?

[Liz]

Trump said they made the rules onerous b/c they thought he’d balk.

But he surprised then......... and accepted.

Just b/c Tapper made rules doesnt mean Trump has to follow them.....chuckle.

[Savage Beast]

I can’t either, but maybe Trump views it as fighting all of them with one hand tied behind his back. I can probably do it.

[Bob Wills is still the king]

“I can’t believe Trump agreed to this debate with him moderating it.”

Both campaigns were provided with a list of potential moderators, and each had choices about who to strike from the list until only one was left.

That’s how Tapper got the job.
