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."

Just set a moniter on top of the BuyDone podium.

Never mind...they'll just computer generate Sleepy Hollow Joe, into the frame.

That's when he hits the gym with Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

I don't believe Joe could lift Ruth, much less swing her...

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

She was hallucinating (again).

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

Her whining about that same thing worked when she was running against Lazio. With Trump ... not so much.

Trump needs to point this out. “If you vote for Biden too early, and he ends up not being the candidate, then your vote will not count.”

1- diminishes early voting
2- gets dem voters anxious about what game the DNC is playing, forcing them to pull their ol’ switcharoo already.

Could create some hilarious chaos.

His focus should be on the concept of having a debate in the first place, not on the NUMBER of debates.

That’s why the NUMBER of debates is a distraction. First get Biden to agree to at least ONE debate, and take it from there. Get a date locked down for the first debate, then press for the next one.

That’s how they kick the conversation about debates into high gear conversation.

Set the table.

The number of debates is meaningless, and Team Trump knows that.
