This again raises the question of why Trump would agree to a debate on CNN, hosted by CNN moderators.

What are the rest of the rules? Will they cut his mic if he does not answer the questions exactly as asked? Will he be muted is he goes off-topic? I anticipate a completely censored s*itshow.

Just spitballing here, maybe he’ll ignore Biden and make CNN and by extension, all the other Fake News outlets the focus of the event. It will drive them batsh!t crazy.

I AM SICK OF A PARTISAN BIASED CONDESCENDING STUPID “MEDIA”

I am forgetting whether we ever had a real press in my lifetime.

The NY “convicted felon” verdict blew up in their faces.

If the CNN “moderators” mute him and/or cut off his mic it will also blow up in their faces and Trump will get another billion dollars of campaign contributions.

The American people know in-your-face unfairness when they see it, and they do not take kindly to it.

Phenomenal question.

They had clobbered Joe McCarthy by the time I was born. Then they trashed Barry Goldwater, helped run Nixon, and spent eight years dumping hot coals on Reagan. Does that help?

*maybe he’ll ignore Biden and make CNN and by extension, all the other Fake News outlets the focus of the event. It will drive them batsh!t crazy.*

It reminds me of a 1964 movie “None But The Brave” Frank Sinatra’s in it. The Japanese commander had his gun pointed at the American leader-Clint Walker. Nighttime. His narration:”I could have killed him that night but I chose not to. In the loneliness of command we are brothers.”

If the mods jumped on Biden to show off their ‘evenhandedness’ could you see Trump suggesting it’s him and Biden that are the combatants, not CNN.

And that’s why he couldn’t back out.

If he did, they all say he was a coward, corrupt, trying to cover something up.

His track record proves that, while he may not an eloquent speaker talking to like-minded enablers who throw nothing softballs, he’s been right, damn near every time. Truth may have taken a while to come out, but he’s been right.

I predict the “moderators” will argue with every one of PDJT’s responses, interrupt him, say things like “that’s not true”, try to fluster him and cut him off whenever he’s making a point, but will smile and nod at biden’s mumbling nonsense.

With no audience, maybe they will have a laugh/boo/applause audio tracks.

Trump issued an open invitation to Biden to have a debate (probably expecting Biden to refuse).

Greg Gutfeld on The Five a little while ago was talking about the debate and how biased the moderators are, but he seemed overly optimistic into thinking they can be shamed into showing some fairness.

Yes, Tapper and Dash are the biggest opponents, Biden is a pathetic and embarrassing sideshow.

Biden will be the non cognizant cigar store Indian bystander at the debate while Trump debates Tapper and Bash

The best way to stop this debate network ego bias is to go back to the way debates were moderated prior to 1996. Prior to the 1996 debates, the network broadcasting the debate had the host limited to moderating the debate, that is, timekeeping and enforcing the rules. A separate panel of questioners were from mixed media, including the competing networks and print journalists. Beginning with the 1996 debates, the only people questioning the candidates were from the network hosting the debates.

By going back to past practices, perhaps the other talent at the hosting network won't be so defensive when guests come on the air to talk about the debates?
