Democrats Urging Biden Not to Debate Trump

Democrats around the country have begun to pressure the Biden campaign to call off all debates with Donald Trump due to the coronavirus pandemic, they say.

In truth, the reason they don’t want Biden to debate Trump is that they don’t think Trump will play by their rules. The president would take over the debate and make it about what he wants, not what Biden wants.

Democrats are also worried about Biden’s mental stamina and his ability to remain engaged for an hour and a half during a debate.

I think they can stand 6 feet apart on the stage.

So they’re worried about his mental stamina in a 2 hour debate, but somehow not worried about his mental stamina in a potential 4 year term as president? These guys are hilarious.

I wouldn’t buy a pack of gum from these charlatans and phonies.

Either they truly believe this, or they’re trying to bait Trump into a debate situation that is a lose-lose for him.

“Democrats are also worried about Biden’s mental stamina and his ability to remain engaged for an hour and a half”

If this is true, then what does it say about the Democrat Party’s standards for selecting its Presidential candidates?

Just spotted this further down the piece:

“Biden shouldn’t feel obligated to throw Trump a lifeline by granting him any debates at all. This is not a normal presidential election and Trump is not a legitimate candidate,” Petkanas tweeted last week, expressing his “opinion that no one asked for.”

With a straight face apparently.

Of course they are. Biden will be crushed in the debate even if Trump is not allowed to speak.

Trump should offer to have the debate in Biden’s basement.

Many FReepers predicted all this long ago.

What kind of excuse could they have in the Dem Party for being against an honest airing of viewpoints between candidates?

It was ok in the Dem nomination debates.

Maybe debate style microphones spread Covid says top world expert Dr. Fauci. Worth a try.

Next: Biden laryngitis came on suddenly. He’s disappointed but cannot go to the debate tonight after all.

Then: power outage darkens debate stage and a third of the city. Origin unknown as weather is perfect. Crew that couldn’t get backup generators going is said to include some who worked at prison the night Epstein died.

Not only his mental stamina, ... but Trump’s unrestrained ability to bring up anything despite biased “moderators” - Like Ukraine ... like the January 5th, 2017 meeting in the WH.

I, like many others, predicted earlier this year, Biden won’t debate. It seems more likely... for many more reasons.

Cancel because of Covid-19? What an idiotic premise. Get rid of the audience (which is only a distraction anyway), stand this mental midget six feet away from Trump, put the leftist moderator 12 feet in front of them and a cameraman for each.

Done.

No one gets infected.

But we know it’s really not about that anyway...

If I had a lobotomy I wouldn’t debate Trump either.

This is the gameplay...already, the wheels are in motion...

They just have to keep the Covid-19 “cases” going for another 8 weeks!

Then, NO huge Trump rallies, NO debates...

These people are sick!

Durham better start indicting people soon, or this thing could be lost!

If Biden does debate, and I have maintained all along that there would not be any, then he should give short answers to all his questions and then by saying, “I yield my remaining time to the President.” The media is going to be hanging on every word Trump says looking for a headline, and giving Trump more time to talk increases that chance.

If they gave Biden a TelePrompTer and the ability to pass on any question, Biden still wouldn’t debate Trump.

Trump should come out and say he doesn’t want to debate Biden because Biden isn’t mentally competent to hold a one-hour debate in the same room with no notes. He should say he doesn’t believe in cruelty to the infirm.

Then watch all the libs DEMAND he debate Biden. It’s so easy for Trump to play these fools because they are predictably against anything Trump is for, even Independence Day. So, go for it, Mr. President.

Just call the debate a funeral for a democrat or a peaceful protest. Neither one can spread the KungFlu and masks are not required.

Biden shouldn’t be running for President. He belongs in the Old Folks Home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWDAQtoL25A

Be sure to check the room for teleprompters or other ways either candidate would be able to get outside information. NO EARPIECES !!
