Shouldn’t be a concern at this point in history. The Democrats now provide the questions to the secondary sparing partner, aka moderator.

Trump knows all this.

Q Kristen Welker: “Are you rattled at all by this Mr. President?”
A Trump: “I don’t know, do I seem rattled”?
But after the presser, Welker appeared on MSNBC to report about the shooting incident & said: “I asked the President if he was rattled by all of this, he said “Of course”

We have no one to blame but ourselves for allowing the left to metastasize into the vital areas of our political lives.

Given the tenor of the recent debates, anyone short of Cincinnatus as moderator would likely raise some eyebrows.

That's an unfair statement. Would I LOVE to see Andrew Wilkow as the moderator? You betcha. Would that be fair? Probably more than what we will get tomorrow.

But I think even if we had a hack like Wolf Blitzer or Megyn Kelly, or the former head of C-SPAN Brian Lamb, I think most of us wouldn't love it but would consider it a vast improvement than this clearly leftist moderator. At least you'd get a decent set of questions and some balance.

We aren't even asking for a bastion of impartiality, we just want a fair shot.

Remember when journalists reported the news?

Now most of them are flaming activists.

My anticipated debate response...

Kristen: (asks stupid/biased question)
POTUS: Thanks for asking that, Kristen.
POTUS then proceeds to make his own remarks that have
absolutely nothing to do with the stupid/biased question
that he was just asked by the hack Kristen Welker.

Kristen: You didn't answer my question.
POTUS: You're right. Next question.

That won’t be a problem this time because the DNC gave the questions to her. Biden already knows what they are.

Perhaps it is best that there be a completely Leftist hack asking “questions” to Trump and pitching softballs to Biden - because if it is anywhere as obvious as those so-called “town halls” of last week, but now everyone is watching the same thing at the same time, then a lot of people who have not been paying attention are going to notice and vote the exact opposite way vs. what Welker intends. IOW, if it is so over-the-top, it will backfire. Keep in mind that the people watching tomorrow will be watching for one (or more) of three reasons: 1) they are political junkies (meaning that they’ve already made up their minds); 2) they are watching for the same reason that many watch hockey or car races - they want an accident or a fight, and in this case are waiting for Biden to start talking in a mixture of ancient Greek and gibberish, or for Trump to announce that he backs the KKK (IOW, these people have also made up their minds, and hoping to witness the opposition implode); or 3) they are undecided. Now, mind you, I don’t understand how someone can truly be undecided at this point, but some are and (obviously) haven’t yet voted. Those people are ripe pickings for Trump if Welker is too over-the-top, and the odds of that are (IMHO) significantly over 50%.

I hope Republicans keep pummeling the Commission on Presidential Debates and their moderators. Everyone involved in organizing these events needs to feel the heat. Change will not happen unless it’s forced.

Trump should avoid debates with hostile moderators.

Let the moderators talk with Biden for an hour.

Trump can be interviewed by someone friendly to him instead.

Welker is half native American so I wonder if she is going to ask Trump about calling Liz Warren “Pocahontas”

Don’t worry, Trump’s mic will be cut right after he says, “Good Evening”.

Regardless of the moderator or the question, Trump should do a quick answer and then go in to what all Biden has been accused of, Biden’s supposed to be off mic’d and put it out there. It’ll be Trump’s 2 minutes so he needs to take full advantage of each 2 minutes. Go in to his foreign policy accomplishments, go in to his tax reforms, border security. Each question, make the most of it. Why mess with their question, make his own

The Trump judo effect is now in place.The President uses teir own agression against his opponents.

Each moderator censoring act against President Trump will simply generate millions more voters for the President.

The left has not yet learned from 2016. The MSM reporters are dumber than dirt, but the upside is that their prejudicial activity and unfairness generate millions of Trump supporters who will stream to the polls to vote.
