Debate Schedule Changes With Oct. 15 Debate Canceled
uspresidentialelectionnews ^ | October 9, 2020 | Nate Ashworth

Posted on 10/09/2020 4:08:09 PM PDT by Syncro

Following the announcement that the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) was revising the format of the Oct. 15 debate to become a “virtual” event, with candidates appearing from remote locations, President Trump said he wouldn’t be participating. This decision put the entire debate schedule in flux, with former Vice President Biden quickly scheduling a Town Hall event on with ABC News on Oct. 15 instead of the debate.

As a result, the next Presidential Debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden will not be held until Oct. 22. The President is also trying to add a third debate, on Oct. 29, but the Biden campaign has said they will not agree to participate.

As it stands now, the Oct. 22 debate might be the final time the candidates meet on the debate stage before Election Day, according to The Hill:

An extended back-and-forth between the campaigns threw the presidential debate schedule into chaos Thursday, raising the question: Will there even be another debate?

There are health concerns clouding the future of the potential face-offs, given the extraordinary situation that one of the candidates, President Trump, currently is infected with a contagious and potentially deadly virus.

Why is the focus of this story on Trump instead of the unilateral change in format by the Commission? Health is not a factor for Trump so it can only be that the Commission moderator, a Biden protege, can censor Trump and let Biden use help and not have to engage Trump in actual debate.

he ruined the MSM Narrative by DM’ing Mooch thru Twitter

************

Oh, his twitter was hacked don’tcha know?

Sean Spicer says he knows Kelly and he’s a fair honest person.

He is pushing the ‘hack’ CYA BS.

I don’t watch the Spicer show unless the girl is talking.

It should be her show, not Spicer’s.

Oct. 29. Trump challenges Kamala to a debate on just one subject-racism. Would she back down? 4 journalists, 3 black and one hispanic-Juan Williams.

Trump already did the ABC town hall. I thought he came off okay as Steffy read very tough and interrupted a lot.

Could you expand on that? Not enough info, or maybe not expressed clear enough.

Go stand on a stump (dimensions are the choice of the speaker) and pull the topics out of a top hat.

10-minutes each and 2-minutes of rebuttal.

“Bob Dole is absolutely correct on this. I am shocked he spoke out.”

I am too, but am pleasantly surprised he did.

He was also on the Mark Levin show for 1/2 hr today so the President was on for 2 1/2 hrs.

.@SteveScully, the Never Trumper next debate moderator, got caught cold. Pulled out the old, “I’ve been hacked”, line. That never works. His bosses are furious at him as he’s lost all credibility!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 9, 2020

The word “bi-partisan” means some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out. - George Carlin
