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:
See more HereAn 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.
My way to work in 2016 looked like a Trump rally — signs and flags on every 3rd lawn. Now, it looks like a Biden rally, there is literally a Biden sign on every other lawn, including many that had Trump signs in 2016. This is Massachusetts so people are unusually stupid, but those who don’t believe Biden has a chance are lying to themselves. Trump needs more traditional exposure and having a debate cancelled does nothing to give him that.
Funny Captain Obvious headline:
“Debate Schedule Changes with Oct.15 Debate Cancelled”
Ya think?
Agree. There have been enough debates.
Joe is depending on Trump to give him relevance.
Thanks for posting, Gary.
LOL! JoeJoe no man, no fight? Take it out behind the gymnasium, Joementia.
Careful though...ORANGEMANBADAZZ
Drop out idiot. Take the Caribbean Queen with you.
MAGAKAG, POTUS & FReepers. It’s free. Think.
Not to mention, Bidet will fill 95% of the screen with a little muted postage stamp of Trump behind the ABC logo.
“We need Maria Bartiromo as a moderator.”
ABSOLUTELY!
MAGAMARIA
MoneyHoney like my wifey...(she has a good pension...I don’t).
I walk the line. She’s in shape...can prolly kick my azz (just kidding)
I asked her this morning if I could sniff her hair. She said, “GTF away from me”. I did.
How does JoeJoe do it?
OK...I’ll be more subtle, JoeJoe.
ABC would be happy to offer trump equal time for a Townhall. Every question will be a gotcha DNC talking point. It’s a waste of Trump’s time.
Rubbish!
That's like saying its OK to go into a football match with the referee not only a supporter of your opponents, he is a brother to 5 of the members of the opposing team. Plus they are allowed to use spikes in their boots while you are not.
That would be the height of stupidity, no?

Yeah?
So where are all these massive Biden supporters of yours at the Biden rallies where he is lucky to pull in 20 people even as Trump pulls in tens of thousands?
And where are the Biden boat parades and huge car parades?
Trump has had hundreds of massive boat parades all over the country indcluding even blue states and huge car parades even in New York City on 5th Avenue. Where are these so called supporters of Biden at?
Stop making stuff up.
Good choice!!!
Who is buying this narrative?
“@SteveScully’s Twitter account was hacked!”
Even if it was, why did @Scaramucci reply in a manner that suggests they had already been discussing @realDonaldTrump?
Or is it all an elaborate @ProjectLincoln ruse to tease out more bad things to come? pic.twitter.com/wrHEwUTjsG— #FakeNewsMedia #EnemyOfThePeople (@JoeMackie) October 9, 2020
No!!!
Never challenge someone from a lower rank!
To do so would be to elevate her to his level - a promotion she has not earned.
First they must put her at the top of the ticket - then President will debate her.
And if they did that, they would be making a huge mistake.
There are tens of millions of people who love Trump, no doubt. Those of us who like him, really like him. But the media has spent 4 years painting a picture of Trump that is not flattering (which again, is why Trump needs debates to remind people who he actually is). Hillary couldn’t fill a high school gym either, but she still came within a few thousand votes of Trump in a number of states.
Hillary won my county by, IIRC, 16%. I don’t think what I see here in Massachusetts is especially reflective of the rest of the US. But the fact remains, people who had Trump signs on their lawns in 2016 have Biden signs now. There are people who have soured on Trump and we may end up needing to win them back to win in November.
More people listen to Rush Limabugh than to any other media program in the country. Plus Trump did another excellent interview with Mark Levin today as well. We are talking tens of millions reached by radio just today alone. Does Trump need some virtual debate where his mic is cut of by a "moderator" who is a rabid Trump hater and hard core Biden supporter? He needs that like a hole in the head.
1 and done. More debates would not help.
Mostly bipartisan debate commission.
Which is the exact opposite for most of the country.
Look, these big national debate commission debates don't really do much of anything. Trump is starting his rallies either by the weekend or on Monday. The rallies target specific congressional districts where Trump needs to do well to win swing states. It don't really matter much if you lead in national elections does it? You gotta win over 270 electoral votes. That's what its all about.
Will Joe Biden be appearing in person at his Townhall? So the pussy will show up at that but won’t show up if Donald Trump is present? Does he think he has cooties? Does he think he has aids?
Do they still have time to book Larry elder to moderate the final debate?
why not, only 25 people will be involved anyway.
So, where are our cheaper and better health care plans?
Zip. Nilch, nada. He’s had 4 years.
And like who needs a tax break when they make millions of dollars?
This is not flying with me so well.
And how many abortions have been quelled?
Zero, zip, ninguna.
Why bother? Might as well vote Democrat.
