The final rules! Muted mics, no audience, and podiums not chairs.

[Highest Authority]

Sounds like Biden’s puppetmasters wrote the rules!

[HYPOCRACY]

No drugs, body doubles, hearing aids, or padded snowshoes?

[Responsibility2nd]

Debate? What Debate?

There will be no debate. Biden “won’t debate a felon.” And he can’t go 15 minutes without a diaper change.

[Responsibility2nd]

No props or notes will be allowed on stage, with candidates only given a pen, pad of paper and a bottle of water, CNN said.

 

Don't forget the routine ear prompt for Biden to use in answering questions.

[Responsibility2nd]

"Both candidates agreed to appear at a uniform podium, and their podium positions will be determined by a coin flip," the channel said, adding that microphones "will be muted throughout the debate except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak."

 

I thought Biden was insisting on a seated debate. As we just saw last week in France - Biden cannot stand for more then a few minutes.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

And NO DRUG TESTS!!!

[BipolarBob]

What about the drug test Trump insisted on?

[KarlInOhio]

Will the debaters be given drug tests?

Will the Bought Kampf test be given to make sure Biden hasn't been replaced with a replicant?

Will Trump be able to bring his assistants, eight score young blondes and brunettes, all between sixteen and nineteen-and-a-half with beautiful, sniffable hair as bait?

[Mr. Jeeves]

I’m not sure how this debate helps Trump. Biden can overperform simply by showing up and stating his own name.

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

I think that the no notes rule, plus no interaction with staff during breaks helps Trump.

I have absolutely no problem with the muted microphone rule. Equal time. Fair is fair.

[Harpotoo]

90 minutes? Hahaha 😆

[gundog]

Moving of arms will be optional.

[Dan in Wichita]

Trump should make sure the coin CNN is using for the coin flip isn’t a two-sided coin.

[BradyLS]

“Water bottle”

Pure speculation but I don’t put it past the organizers that Biden’s “water bottle” will have whatever concoction he needs in it while Trump’s will be laced with something.

[adorno]

The rules should include the same amount of camera time for both, with no cutaways when Biden freezes or stutters or makes gaffes or wanders off the stage or through the stage.

And, no pre-determined outcomes from CNN and MSNBC or the left-wing media, which will conclude that, Biden won the debate. B ut, it’s inevitable that the left-wing media will conclude that Biden won the debate, even if he drops dead or refuses to answer any questions. Reality is that the left has concluded that Biden won the debate before the debates even take place.

[cgbg]

Can Biden be replaced by a clone?

;-)

[right way right]

Plenty of time to keep lowering expectations for Biden so he can do better than expected ….so they still think they can get a bump.

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

This may sound strange, but I think that it would be good for Trump if Biden doesn’t do badly in the first debate. Because, if he is too obviously senile and wanders off the stage or something, they may replace him at the convention. It would be good if he does well enough to have his candidacy survive until after the Democrat convention.

[GreenHornet]

Joe’s team insisted there be no audience for the debate - which explains why it’s being hosted by CNN.
