This is a debate format to which he agreed, do you think the fact that it goes virtual changes the odds against him that much?

Yes. Too much opportunity for mischief in the control room and via teleprompting/coaching to Biden.

Gee whiz, to not understand pdjt by now rakes a concerted effort to not want to.

Of course it changes the “odds” in addition to changing the actual format to which the President and Biden had agreed. I’m surprised you even asked such a question. Campaigns agree to every detail...location and setting, date, moderator, even a box to stand on when the two candidates have a perceptible height difference. I don’t know if they execute a signed agreement (contract) but they certainly have a verbal agreement. Going from an in-person format to a virtual one is a huge material change to their mutual agreement. Both sides should have been consulted in advance and their agreement should have been obtained before the “Commission” publicly announced the change. Trump, being a businessman well used to contractual processes, wisely rejected this gambit. If you don’t understand this, that’s on you, not on the President.
