Democrats around the country have begun to pressure the Biden campaign to call off all debates with Donald Trump due to the coronavirus pandemic, they say.
In truth, the reason they don’t want Biden to debate Trump is that they don’t think Trump will play by their rules. The president would take over the debate and make it about what he wants, not what Biden wants.
Democrats are also worried about Biden’s mental stamina and his ability to remain engaged for an hour and a half during a debate.

Let's double it to 12 feet. I'm sure they can find a stage big enough. Then there's no reason to call off the debate.
Good comparison. I guess that would make President Trump, Edward IV.
> Either they truly believe this, or they’re trying to bait Trump into a debate situation that is a lose-lose for him. <
The only way Trump could lose a debate would be if:
1. Biden gets all the questions, in order, ahead of time. And...
2. Biden wears some kind of earpiece to help him along.
If a debate does occur, I absolutely expect both of the above to happen.
They will force feed Biden a Bottle of Focus Factor the day before the Debate.
There absolutely MUST be a debate! No excuses! I wouldn’t be surprised if the democrats concoct a third major national crisis so as to be able to skip the debate.
No need for teleprompters. Donna Brazile will just make sure Joe gets the questions ahead of time.
“...So they’re worried about his mental stamina in a 2 hour debate, but somehow not worried about his mental stamina in a potential 4 year term as president? These guys are hilarious...”
It’s who he picks for VP that’s going to end up as POTUS IF, God forbid, they should prevail. Whoever the VP is will be POTUS the first into such a godless administration. He’s going to pick a far-left black female...or what appears to be female.
“If this is true, then what does it say about the Democrat Party’s standards for selecting its Presidential candidates?”
They want a puppet president. Does anyone doubt that Obama was told what to do, what to say?
The HORRIBLE Dims are trying to fix the election, by refusing to expose just how DEMENTED Biden is, and how unfit he is to be President!!!!
Biden must forced to debate—no matter what!! And all the mail-in ballot frauds must be stopped as well! PHOOEY!!!!
Didn’t both of those happen for Hillary?
You forgot the most important thing before the scheduled debate... the venue pulls itself from the debate citing COVID and something about how students will not be able to be engaged. Thus canceling the debate due to lack of venue.
Another would be the two candidates agree to a digital streaming debate and Trump’s streaming somehow has issue throughout the debate where his answers are not heard in their entirety.
The streaming debate allows Biden to use an off camera teleprompter and screen to prompt him the answers.
I can almost guarantee this is where this is heading.
The POTUS should set up a debate stage with two podiums: an empty one for OldPedoJoe and Trump. Have a live debate with real questions on important issues. Ask the empty podium to answer and then the POTUS answer.
> What kind of excuse could they have in the Dem Party for being against an honest airing of viewpoints between candidates? <
Either, or both:
1. Trump is a hater, a racist, and a Russian stooge. Biden will not dignify Trump by debating him.
2. The virus is so dangerous that even a remote debate is too risky. We must put the safety of the cameramen and their families first!
If Biden goes with that, the mainstream media will applaud him. There will be no repercussions.
The Democrats are damned if they do and really damned if they don’t. If he does not debate, the MSM will not be able to ignore the crescendo proclaiming that Biden is demented and not capable of being President. The same crescendo will exist in October if he does debate and clearly does demonstate his dementia. Hence it is still hard to believe that Biden will be the actual candidate of the power hungry marxist Democrats.
Guaranteed fail for the Democrats, but hey, they knew the rules before they ever let Joe take his “walk” to the nomination.
Joe Biden is a lightweight in any league, whose best hit would be a pop fly to the infield, and who would never have a chance to make it to first base on a fair pitch.
Joe is not the President the Democrats want to have win. Designated Hitter is whoever is nominated as VP, and there have been so many shackles put on the vetting process, there is no adequate person available, at least not within the Democrat ranks.
AOC is too young yet to serve as VP. And even she is only just up from the minor leagues.
Good ones I missed.
Biden will follow the lines to the front left with his eyes as he reads in a monotone like a cheap actor.
"And on foreign policy--Look like you are thinking of a reply--teleprompter fail--Rebooting. China will be given a fair hearing in my administration."
Trump could debate Clint Eastwood’s chair.
I think they are the party of brainless wimps!
I think Trump would win in any debate against Biden.
The coronavirus is the perfect excuse for Biden to back out of a debate and my prediction is that they'll try. Biden seems to be using the same tactic Hillary did last election. Every time Hillary campaigned in person her poll numbers went down because she was such a condescending beotch. Biden proves himself a moron every time he opens his mouth so his handlers are keeping him hidden hoping Trump will defeat himself.
