Trump campaign manager calls for more debates sooner because of early voting.....

"We want more debates," said Bill Stepien, Trump's newly promoted campaign chief, in a Fox & Friends interview on Monday. "We want debates starting sooner."....Sixteen states will have started voting by the time of the first debate on Sept. 29, Stepien said.

"We are already seeing the liberal Left, the liberal media, trying to create trapdoors for Joe Biden to escape his commitment and his obligation to debate Donald Trump on a debate stage in front of the American people," he added. "We want more debates."

Stepien said on Monday that the campaign would continue the "push" for more televised encounters so voters could "see their options right in front of them" before they cast their ballot.

"Listen, we are going to keep applying pressure to the Biden campaign," he said. "We take our cues from the American people. The American people in those 16 states that are going to be voting before Sept. 29, they are the ones who want to see candidates on the debate stage."

Some voters "expect, want, and deserve, a chance to see their options right in front of them on the debate stage, and we join them in that push," he added.

"The countdown clock may show 91 days left in the race, but in reality, the election starts a lot sooner than that," he said in a statement. "In many states, more than half of voters will cast their votes well before Election Day, and we have adjusted our strategy to reflect that."

Dems are going to claim COVID-19 and that “Trump lies.” We know it’s a new decision within the Democratic Party because suddenly several party grandees have said this and the New York Times has put it in writing

Biden can’t debate, he can’t have one on one interviews even with friendly questioners, he can’t speak without a teleprompter and even then he gets confused. Nor can he hide from the American people. Hard to believe that he will actually be the nominee. Yet all the other candidates are badly flawed. IMHO they will nominate the faker Warren.

“ How are the idiot Dems even excusing not having debates?”
*******

Actually, not a bad strategy; keep joe in the cellar till after the debates. Being a lot of people will vote by mail this time a lot of the voting will be done by the time folks see how sick Joe is. And that he will be under the control of the likes of Sanders, AOC, Warren, etc.

Ha ha ha! Trolling the RATs. I LIKE it!

Not “cancel all debates”, but “more debates.” Going on the offensive is good.

These ads need to run in all the early voting states right after we are sure Joe actually has the nomination:

> There will be NO DEBATES. <

Bet on that. Biden will not debate Trump because:

1. Trump is a hater.
2. The virus makes even remote debates risky.

Both reasons are, of course, bogus. But the media will applaud long and loud when Biden calls the debates off.

Yes they need to enforce social distance.

Remember one of Hillary’s complaints was that Trump was breathing down her neck and got on her space?

can formulate a strategy for defeating the new nominee

Is exactly their plan... .

Else the funeral of Biden a week before Election Day. To make it a “let’s do it for Joe” thing

Good. DJT knows that there MUST be a debate. It will be cruel to the decrepit old lecher, but that’s politics!

Have the debate!

Let Trump debate the empty chair. It would have a higher intellect than the nominee.

I would go on step further. Invite Joe to a debate on a given date to be held on the white house lawn.

The moron idiot, Democrat, Joe Biden had over three months to choose and select a vp candidate running mate....and he promised he would name a female without doubt exactly on August 1st, 2020. It never happened!!! Who knows when we will be blessed with his Choice?

As for debates, early or whenever...don’t hold your breath folks....this guy Biden is adrift at sea without either a paddle or a functioning brain!!! Are American voters that stupid, that they would vote for an empty suit like Useless, Democrat, Joe Biden? Go figure!!!

Vote Trump 100% and destroy the entire Democrat Traitor, Turncoat Party politically...Forever!!!

Hold the debates at the US Senate building.

Maybe Joe wont be confused with where he is.

Agree.

Great idea...about the plexiglass barriers.

Team Trump should send this to Sleepy Hollow Joe’s team.

Remember when Biden said “If we were in high school, I’d take him (Trump) behind the gym and beat the hell out of him”.

Pfff - Biden is even scared to face Trump in a debate.

And I’m not even sure he’d make it to a debate stage or a HS gym w/o a nurse holding his arm.
