> Doesn’t Trump get a say about any of these moderators? <
No. The Commission on Presidential Debates sets these things up. They could pick Biden’s wife as a moderator if they wanted to.
I have only limited sympathy for Trump and the GOP in this matter.
As I have noted in another thread, this happens every four years. The Commission sets up the debates. They always pick leftist moderators. And the GOP candidate always goes along with it. Always!
No one on the GOP side - including Trump - objects. No one on the GOP side demands any fairness, or any input.
The Commission always picks biased moderators. And the Republican candidate always goes along with it, just like a little puppy dog.
It is infuriating.
And that's why those paying attention understand we should never trust the GOP. That organization and their career insiders and posers was all but dead on the floor prior to Trump. And why Buchanan stated years ago, "The differences between the two beltway parties are inconsequential." Trump was not supposed to happen. He was not supposed to win. Everything were seeing today, anarchy, riots, shutdowns, attempted destruction of the economy, is all in reaction to Trump being elected.
