The next presidential debate fell into serious jeopardy on Thursday after President Trump said he would refuse to participate in a virtual matchup and Joseph R. Biden Jr. pledged to hold an alternative town hall with voters on the night of the scheduled event.
The extraordinary developments came after Mr. Trump rejected plans by the Commission on Presidential Debates to have the candidates square off remotely from separate locations on Oct. 15, rather than onstage in Miami, citing health concerns about the coronavirus.

If you can stand the Slimes' snarky editorializing, this is a good current summary of the situation. If Joe goes forward with his "townhall," it will be a scream to compare its size with Our President Trump's rally on the same night.

Could they debate on Jeopardy?

Look at the number of Biden’s twitter followers (roughly 10 mil). Now look at the number of Trump’s twitter followers (almost 90 mil).

The headline makes it out to be entirely on Trump.

How about ‘Debate commission’s surprise change to rules jeopardizes next debate’ instead?

A virtual debate would have been HORRIBLE..Trump made the right move..imagine, during the virtual debate, its Trump’s turn to answer..oopsie, there goes feed, sorry for the technical difficulties we will be right back..meanwhile Biden gets to talk all he wants, while his hired goons sit near him writing on cards what to say
To: libstripper
JOE’S townhall would be clips of his prerecorded answers to questions given to the BIDEN campaign ahead of time.

The MSM so gleefully blamed Trump for the interruptions and gave Joe who started the interruptions a pass.
Now lets see how much revenue the MSM makes off no debate at all.

Trump will be hosting the Rush Limbaugh show tomorrow. Should be a Hoot.

I think trying to make it virtual is what put it in jeopardy.

A “Virtual Debate” with Biden’s basement fully equipped with teleprompters, questions provided in advance with answers vetted by the “Media”. LMFAO.
