If Poopie Pants refuses a drug test, then Trump should cancel.
2nd line of the article is a lie.
In May, Mr. Trump immediately accepted CNN’s invitation to debate Mr. Biden.
CNN didn’t propose. Biden’s team did. They didn’t expect PDJT to agree to all their conditions, it was a trap to get talking points about how PDJT was “afraid” to accept. PDJT called their bluff and now the leftits are shitting bricks.
It’s glorious!
Far be it from me to tell DJT how to handle the “debates”.
But I would simply ignore whatever question that whatever moderator asked, and just say what needs to be said, regardless of the topic.
Not a mine field, but a target rich environment.
Trump is a knock out artist.
Faithless handwringing pearl clutchers be gone.
You’ll know them by their call:
“begawk! I just wish he wouln’t tweet so much. begawk!”
Nope,I can't see any danger in store.
Biden could then go out and say blah, blah, blah..about Trump being afraid to debate him.
Trump, being always two steps ahead, agreed to the debate rules and have now put Biden in a box.
Trump knows exactly what he’s walking into…Biden has no clue.
"both the moderators being on record as resembling Hitler's evil twin" should be
"both the moderators being on record as saying that DJT resembles Hitler's evil twin"
All Trump has to do is be Presidential for 90 minutes..be the nice Trump, greet Tapper and Bash with respect(Yeah I know, disgusting isnt it but it will work to his advantage) say “Its a great honor to be here hope you are both well been looking forward to this debate glad to be here” and when either one turns off Trump’s mic, Trump should stand there, shrug his shoulders and be cool with it, and people watching will know exactly what is going on and will see that its rigged, Trump should just go with the flow be there for 90 minutes, state what is going on with the country, how Biden has ruined it and leave
Psyops bull sh#t!
There is zero to worry about for us. Nevertheless, the communist media will rave about how great Crime Boss Joey did. Crap like “He hit a home run.” Will be all over the net.
Let's see Biden go in front of Levin, even Carlson.
BTW, I'm still waiting to see Trump sit down with Gutfield, even visit The Five (without Jessica Tarlov).
So it’ll be Trump vs. two liberal pearl-clutchers and a senile old man? Hardly a fair match.
DJT, Forget the questions just hit your policies as if you’re dealing with morons, (which he is )
Go Trump Go and so be it, as we already know the many mic cuts ARE COMING, AS they already played their hand to Trump's Rep on their broadcast for all to see!
We knew this already! The set is staged against President Trump as he does! Let's get it Done and May Trump debate Tapper All the Way! ha!
CNN has a history of supplying debate questions to be asked to Democrats. They should not be running the show.
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? It's too much for one (or two) to do: moderate the timekeeping and rules, ask the questions, listen to the answers, follow up with other questions.
It's better to let the moderate focus on moderating while the panelists focus on the questions and answers.
Case in point: Chris Wallace moderating the third debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
With time running out, Wallace asked Trump if he'd accept the results of the election.
The next day Wallace said that he lost track and "forgot" to ask Clinton the same question.Wallace: Mr. Trump, I want to ask you about one last question in this topic. You’ve been warning at rallies recently that this election is rigged and that Hillary Clinton is in the process of trying to steal it from you. Your running mate Governor Pence pledged on Sunday that he and you, his words, will absolutely accept the result of this election. Today your daughter Ivanka said the same thing. I want to ask you here on the stage tonight, do you make the same commitment that you’ll absolutely accept the result of the election.
Trump: I will look at it at the time. I’m not looking at anything now, I’ll look at it at the time. What I’ve seen, what I’ve seen, is so bad. First of all, the media is so dishonest and so corrupt and the pile on is so amazing. “The New York Times” actually wrote an article about it, but they don’t even care. It is so dishonest, and they have poisoned the minds of the voters. But unfortunately for them, I think the voters are seeing through it. I think they’re going to see through it, we’ll find out on November 8th, but I think they’re going to see through it. If you look --
Wallace: But, but --
Trump: Excuse me, Chris. If you look at your voter rolls, you will see millions of people that are registered to vote. Millions. This isn’t coming from me. This is coming from Pew report and other places. Millions of people that are registered to vote that shouldn’t be registered to vote. So let me just give you one other thing. I talk about the corrupt media. I talk about the millions of people. I’ll tell you one other thing. She shouldn’t be allowed to run. It’s -- She’s guilty of a very, very serious crime. She should not be allowed to run, and just in that respect I say it’s rigged because she should never --
Wallace: But, but --
Trump: Chris. She should never have been allowed to run for the presidency based on what she did with e-mails and so many other things.
Wallace: But, sir, there is a tradition in this country, in fact, one of the prides of this country is the peaceful transition of power and no matter how hard fought a campaign is that at the end of the campaign, that the loser concedes to the winner. Not saying you’re necessarily going to be the loser or the winner, but that the loser concedes to the winner and the country comes together in part for the good of the country. Are you saying you’re not prepared now to commit to that principle?
Trump: What I’m saying is that I will tell you at the time. I’ll keep you in suspense, okay?
Clinton: Well Chris, let me respond to that because that’s horrifying. You know, every time Donald thinks things aren’t going in his direction, he claims whatever it is, is rigged against him. The FBI conducted a yearlong investigation into my e-mails. They concluded there was no case. He said the FBI was rigged. He lost the Iowa caucus, he lost the Wisconsin primary, he said the Republican primary was rigged against him. Then, Trump University gets sued for fraud and racketeering. He claims the court system and the federal judge is rigged against him. There was even a time when he didn’t get an Emmy for his TV program three years in a row and he started tweeting that the Emmys were rigged against him.
Trump: Should have gotten it.
(Laughter)
Clinton: This is a mind-set. This is how Donald thinks, and it’s funny, but it’s also really troubling. That is not the way our democracy works. We’ve been around for 240 years. We’ve had free and fair elections. We’ve accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them, and that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election. You know, President Obama said the other day when you’re whining before the game is even finished--
(Applause)
Wallace: Hold on, folks.
Clinton:-- It just shows you’re not up to doing the job. And let’s be clear about what he’s saying and what that means. He’s denigrating, he is talking down our democracy. And I, for one, am appalled that somebody who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that kind of position.
Trump: I think what the FBI did and what the Department of Justice did, including meeting with her husband, the Attorney General, in the back of an airplane on the tarmac in Arizona, I think it’s disgraceful. I think it’s a disgrace.
Wallace: All right.
Trump: I think we’ve never had a situation so bad
(Applause)
Wallace: Hold on, folks. This doesn’t do any good for anyone. Let’s please continue the debate and let’s move onto the subject of foreign hotspots...
To this day, President Trump is still being hounded over accepting the results of elections while Clinton is still acting as if she were the true winner in 2016.
This is what happens when debates are not conducted with separation of responsibilities. Moderating debates has become an exercise in ego management, not debate management. It's time to go back to the old ways of having a dedicated panel of questioners separate from the moderation of the debate.
