Trump should swiftly reject the schedule of 2020 debates
Washington Post ^ | October 15, 2019 | Hugh Hewitt

Posted on 10/16/2019 1:20:31 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Last week, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced the schedule of 2020 presidential debates. President Trump should quickly dismiss that schedule as unacceptable and announce that if any debates will be held at all in 2020, it will be only after extensive, direct negotiations between him and the eventual nominee of the Democratic Party and their respective designated representatives.

And those negotiations should begin from a premise that the Republicans will no longer play by the biased rules of a deeply unbalanced Manhattan-Beltway media elite. Explicitly articulating this declaration of intent now, along with the possibility that, as in 1968 and 1972, there won’t be any debates, would do both the public and the elite media a great service.

The Manhattan-Beltway media elite seems to the center-right of the country at large to be overwhelmingly committed to the defeat of Trump. Essentially half of the United States expects the four debates will, in fact, be four ambushes by the combined forces of the Democratic nominee and the elite media operating in tandem, though not in explicit coordination. Look at the Gallup numbers: The media’s credibility is shattered beyond repair. The self-proclaimed refs are not trusted by more than half of the public. That’s undeniable anymore.

I have a dream of a debate at Hillsdale College moderated by Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Star Parker, Sarah Carter, Kat Timpf, Michelle Malkin and Rush Limbaugh.

An economic debate moderated by Walter E. Williams? Shouldn’t need any more.

Just as the eneMedia is using the ‘Rat debates as their choosing the ‘Rat nominee (usurping the primaries), the same eneMedia will use the Presidential debates as their opportunity to choose their POTUS (usurping election-day voters).

Yes, she was paid off with a lifetime giftcard for Dunkin' Donuts. Unlimited supply.

The debates are total bull sh*t and rigged and President Trump STILL wiped Klinton off the stage.

Was Hewitt a never Trumper ???

Yup. So was Levin. So were a lot of them in the talk radio biz. Hewitt actually pronounced Trump's campaign DEAD after the Access Hollywood thing came out.

They have all since gotten religion. You either get onboard the Trump Train or your talk radio career is DEAD. And they have.

Except for Michael Medved. And I think he's down to just one station in the Seattle area now.

Yes, very much so. Hewitt’s an establishment neocon bonehead. Now he seems to want cred for jumping on the Trump bandwagon? We’re better off kicking phony’s like him to the curb.

Does the League of Bitter Feminists still run these debates?

Mike Gallahger said on his show several weeks ago that Hugh Hewitt does not believe there is a “deep state”.
Need we say more?

Hugh is getting his ass kicked on the comment section. I do agree with him that POTUS should not accept moderators chosen for him.

The Dem debate show last night should be obvious to all.

Medved lost his time slot on Salem Radio Network stations and was replaced by Sebastian Gorka in that slot.

I think you can listen to Medved online. I won’t seek him out; I had stopped listening to him anyway by the time he was gone from Salem.

Trump is the big draw on TV, so any debate would probably only be a lose for him.

He now refers to himself as a sometimes-Trumper.

“Or let the schedule remain as the Commission sets it. Then, 18 hours before debate time, Trump should announce a big fat rally in the same city or state.”

Yes, stall until the last minute and then reject their trap/debates, so they don’t have enough time to organize their Plan B.

Then they are in TrumpWorld, where you have to improvise and deal with chaos.

Their aspergers/nerd flowcharts and planning can’t handle that.

We need Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh moderating some of these debates.

The President should just state that the important debates have just been completed...

There is no reason to spend time or money rebuking them in a debate since they only displayed exactly what the President would want to point out in any 2020 debate...

Therefore, the president sincerely thanks the socialist party for its brilliant support in providing all the ammo he needs for his 2020 campaign...
