Biden campaign commits to three debates as Trump pushes for a fourth

Joe Biden committed to participating in three planned debates against President Trump while criticizing Trump for trying to add an additional debate.

“Joe Biden looks forward to facing Donald Trump in a multi-debate series that the American people have come to expect from their leaders; we hope that President Trump would not break that tradition or make excuses for a refusal to participate,” Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon wrote Monday in a letter to the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates

It’s all about the moderators. Moderators moderators moderators.
Trump had better not agree to any fake news moderators.

Why would Trump push for a fourth unless his internals weren’t as good as he liked?

He is bringing a focus to the debates, and when millions of undecided Independents see for themselves that Biden is demented, it's all over.

I'd bet the language of the agreement is for three debate questions, not whole debates...

Agree, we don't need the corrupt media involved in helping Biden during the debates.

Some people are just stuck in deep state DC "conventional" wisdom.

They don't understand that Trump is not a DC bubble person, and is flipping the table at the deep state "wisdom".

I hope Trump pushes for some moderators from Talk Radio.

I'd be surprised if it's Biden he debates.

Who else?

[dartuser]

Joe’s team will rehearse every pre planted question. The moderators will have the script in front of them.

But they don't have Trump's responses ... even if Biden has all the questions beforehand; Trump will get his point across in a way that makes Biden look like an idiot.

He did fairly well in the last debate he had with Bernie. So there is that.

I asked a question and you’re such a weak-minded b**** that you couldn’t give a response without being nasty. That’s sad

[yawningotter]

Trump should insist on Thomas Sowell as a moderator.

[Texas resident]

in a way that makes Biden look like an idiot....

A smart 4th grader could to that.

[SmokingJoe]

Did you watch the Dem debates when Biden was down and nearly out?
How long have you been watching Biden? I mean going back say 40 years.

[dp0622]

Gotcha

[dp0622]

That makes sense. Thank you

[dp0622]

That’s a good strategy. I can’t imagine Biden being successful at 1 debate. Three or four will destroy him.

[dp0622]

We live and learn don’t we?

[1Old Pro]

Did you watch the Dem debates when Biden was down and nearly out?

Couldn't hear him talk over my record player.

[bray]

He wants as many debates against Braindead Biden no matter what the polls. He is not a standard politician.

[SmokingJoe]

Maybe. But we cannot and will not accept corrupt Trump hating fake news moderators who are guaranteed to hand over the questions to Biden in advance. Better not to have any debates at all if a satisfactory arrangement cannot be arrived at.
