Presidential Debate Commission Ditches Foreign Policy Focus Following Hunter Biden Laptop Leaks
The Pulse ^ | 10/19/20 | RAHEEM KASSAM

Posted on 10/19/2020 7:39:39 AM PDT by Enlightened1

THE THIRD PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE – SET TO TAKE PLACE ON THURSDAY – WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO CENTER ON FOREIGN POLICY. BUT FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF THE HUNTER BIDEN E-MAILS/LAPTOP DETAILS IN THE NEW YORK POST, THE WILDLY PARTISAN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES COMMISSION ANNOUNCED THAT WOULD NO LONGER BE THE CASE, THE EFFECT BEING THE PROTECTION OF JOE AND HUNTER BIDEN.

On Friday the Debate Commission announced their topics for Friday, which are bizarrely similar to the first debate topics. The second debate will feature: Fighting COVID-19; American Families; Race in America; Climate Change; National Security; and Leadership.

 

The first debate topics were: Covid-19; The Economy; Race and Violence in our Cities; The Integrity of the Election; The Supreme Court; and Trump and Biden’s Records.

The news of the third debate leaving a major foreign policy focus out was met with further derision from the Trump campaign, which has already lambasted the Commission for attempting to make the debates virtual, and for choosing moderators with a track record of bias.

The proposed debate moderator for the second debate – Steve Scully – was indefinitely suspended from his job last week after lying about being hacked on Twitter. He was actually participating in a ploy to humiliate Donald Trump with the help of Trump-basher Anthony Scaramucci. Most of his friends in the media also lied about his hack.

Trump campaign strategist Jason Miller tweeted of the third debate topics on Monday morning: “Good morning to everyone except Presidential Debate Commission members who changed focus of final debate away from foreign policy so Joe Biden wouldn’t have to answer to being compromised by the Chinese Communist Party, supporting endless wars and sending pallets of cash to Iran.”

Ummmm ... this is easy.

When a son of a sitting Vice-President gets kick backs for access to lucrative contracts, and said VP gets a cut of said kick backs .... and the kick backs come from some evil, nefarious people ....

It doesn't MATTER who or where the people come from.
This is NOT a "Foreign Policy" matter.

This is a NATIONAL. SECURITY. MATTER.

GAME. ON. ASSHATS!

Trump should do what Pence did, ignore the stupid question and take your time to make a significant substantive point.

President Trump can politely listen to the question and respond in whatever fashion he deems appropriate even if it means changing the subject completely. He can end his response by looking at Biden and asking him a pertinent question that should be of interest to all voters. In other words, he can totally ignore the moderator if she is blatantly protecting Biden and attacking our president.

Trump should go rogue and bring it up often! Fu*k the debate commission, and fu*k the moderator! If this were one of Trump’s kids, this would be the entire debate!

By participating in this charade, the GOP gives it credibility.

STOP trying to appease the left...

You can't talk about COVID without bringing up China-that's a link to Biden and the laptop; the economy- again, China and Biden's laptop; national security- China and the laptop.

The reality is that China is present in so much of the US these days that it's precisely why the Communist Chinese government need to have someone in the White House that is subservient.

The debate commission can't keep China out of this. Not possible.

I'm amazed the unfair biased jerks of the commission forgot 'Do YOU denounce the KKK'...

They're slipping in their old age...

White liberal 'elites' (white trash) will sneak it in - - they always do... not because they haven't heard the answer a hundred times, but because they're mean spirited and their hatred is bottomless.

Biden's been shaking down vulnerable countries for years - with the help of crooks in the CIA and State Department. So yeah, foreign 'policy' is NOT an acceptable debate subject for this white trash 'commission'.

Besides the Biden debacle staring everybody in the face, avoiding the topic also does not permit Trump to (officially) tout the successful Middle East peace initiatives… I’m sure he’ll manage to insert all his points in the debate-predictable squealing from the “moderator” notwithstanding.

I hope they try to get Trump to deny affiliation with white supremacists. He just never answers that question. (/sarcasm)

It isn’t going to change voting patterns. Rats will vote for Biden, pedo or not.

Topics:
  1. Will you FINALLY denounce white supremacy?
  2. New rumor about your personal taxes.
  3. Climate Change.
  4. Don’t you admit that your failure to wear a mask killed 200,000 Americans?
  5. Russia still interfering in election. Why don’t you stop it?
  6. Why do you continue to falsely suggest that vote fraud exists? Aren’t you just suppressing the black vote?
  7. Will you agree to a peaceful transition of power?
None of the debates can address foreign policy since Trump took a world on fire and brought peace.

The topics are a third bite at the same gotcha questions that have already been tried.

"Wasn’t the first debate already about covid?"

The first and second debates covered COVID ad nauseum.

So now the Debate Commission is protecting Biden.

Heck, they did that months ago when they selected the four moderators for the Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates.

Look at Moochele's back-right hoof. Is she sending a messsage?
