In wake of the New York Post reporting a “cash-for-influence” scheme between the Bidens and foreign entities, the Debate Commission has dropped the “foreign policy” focus of the upcoming presidential debate.
Instead, the upcoming debate will simply mirror the topics of the first debate.
“The third presidential debate – set to take place on Thursday – was originally supposed to center on foreign policy,” quipped the National Pulse. “But following the release of the Hunter Biden e-mails/laptop details in the New York Post, the wildly partisan Presidential Debate Commission announced that would no longer be the case, the effect being the protection of Joe and Hunter Biden.”
This should be enough reason for President Trump to make an appearance on the Joe Rogan Podcast where he will be heard by as many people as an actual debate, which we’ve pointed out before.
As reported by the New York Post, the Hunter Biden emails provide evidence on how Hunter “introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company.”
“The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month,” the Post continued.
“…The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s ‘never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings‘ — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer.”
Additionally, the Debate Commission likely sees foreign policy as a strong point for President Trump, given that he’s been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize several times.
“President Trump has picked up another nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, after a Finnish member of the European Parliament (MEP) called for the American president to receive the honor,” reported Fox News.
“Laura Huhtasaari, an MEP and a member of the right-wing Finns Party, wrote to the Nobel Committee to nominate Trump for the 2021 prize ‘in recognition of his endeavors to end the era of endless wars, construct peace by encouraging conflicting parties for dialogue and negotiations, as well as underpin internal cohesion and stability of his country.’”
Foreign policy is Trump's strongest suit and they are completely rigging the debate to take the focus off it!
I agree. Totally rigged “debate”.
Surely the President can find a way to get the “Big Guy” corruption mentioned.....except that the “moderator” will mute him when he talks about it.
The President should be given another venue to talk about the Biden corruption after the “debate”....maybe Fox?
The reporter in the article says Joe Rogan (popular podcaster who does long form interviews). He should do it ... would be big.
it was my understanding he could talk about whatever he wanted for 2 minutes.
if he starts and they mute him, many independents will be horrified
and our base will be even more electrified
Well, Trump can bring up foreign policy topics by shortening his responses to some of the other questions, and asking stinging questions of his own directed at Biden.
There’s always a way to get around the rules.
> it was my understanding he [Trump] could talk about whatever he wanted for 2 minutes <
Biden’s microphone will be off. So Biden will not be able to interrupt Trump. But you can bet the moderator will interrupt him.
The Republicans should announce that they will no longer participate in debates that are in any way connected to the Commission on Presidential Debates. Ever.
The President should simply begin each of his answers with a fact about the Biden Crime Family. Then go on and answer the original question.
Is this article correct. The debate was not focused on foreign policy, national security was one of five or six topics.
2 MINUTES!
To talk about all his accomplishments in foreign policy ?
That is ridiculous. He can’t convey that much in so little time...
The third debate was supposed to be on foreign policy.
Trump has a good policy of trying to end the wars... and then you have the Biden corruption (China/Ukraine).
Sounds like they don’t want to spend time on this.
Some where in there the President needs to say, “It is rude to interrupt people when they are talking.” The next time he’s interrupted by Welker, he should warn her that’s the last time he’ll be interrupted. You know there will be a third interruption and the President should unload on the bitch.
Hunter’s laptop + 4 Trump Nobel nominations and whoosh, that’s the sound of foreign policy being swept under the rug.
The debate commission is about as nonpartisan as Cher.
Joe Rogan reaches a ton of people and would be a great idea.
I don’t even think he should take part in these farces. I find them to be completely one-sided jackassery.
In another thread I suggested the President use the following tactic:
—Pick one new Biden email (with some corruption stuff) and read it aloud.
—The moderator will interrupt.
—The President then needs to say the following words:
“You are trying to censor me. The American people are sick and tired of being censored. I will not be censored.”
Rinse and repeat!
Censorship (and doxxing and the cancel culture) are a big issue for average Americans. Trump needs to own that issue—and refuse to let any stupid moderator or “rules” set the tone or agenda.
“Surely the President can find a way to get the “Big Guy” corruption mentioned”
Trump can say whatever he wants during his protected two minutes. He does not have to answer any of their questions for him.
This commission has been rigged from the start. That the GOP is still going along with it in 2020 is part of the rigging of the process against conservative voters.
We likely just didn’t wake up to this in time—like we likely didn’t wake up to the GOPe’s Federalist Society only recommending controlled and controllable prospective USSC nominees om time. (Trump could probably get another term and name another three Justices and there would still be a critical vote to roll over on key decisions right on cue, whenever needed.)
Sorry but I don’t have any idea who Joe Rogan is.
Am sure would find out here on FR.
Like your suggestions....
