On Friday the Debate Commission announced their topics for Friday, which are bizarrely similar to the first debate topics. The second debate will feature: Fighting COVID-19; American Families; Race in America; Climate Change; National Security; and Leadership.
The first debate topics were: Covid-19; The Economy; Race and Violence in our Cities; The Integrity of the Election; The Supreme Court; and Trump and Biden’s Records.
The news of the third debate leaving a major foreign policy focus out was met with further derision from the Trump campaign, which has already lambasted the Commission for attempting to make the debates virtual, and for choosing moderators with a track record of bias.
The proposed debate moderator for the second debate – Steve Scully – was indefinitely suspended from his job last week after lying about being hacked on Twitter. He was actually participating in a ploy to humiliate Donald Trump with the help of Trump-basher Anthony Scaramucci. Most of his friends in the media also lied about his hack.
Trump campaign strategist Jason Miller tweeted of the third debate topics on Monday morning: “Good morning to everyone except Presidential Debate Commission members who changed focus of final debate away from foreign policy so Joe Biden wouldn’t have to answer to being compromised by the Chinese Communist Party, supporting endless wars and sending pallets of cash to Iran.”

Presidential Debate Commission Ditches Foreign Policy ...
The National Pulse: The third presidential debate - set to take place on Thursday - was originally supposed to center on foreign policy. But following the release of the Hunter Biden e-mails/laptop details in the New York Post, the wildly partisan Presidential Debates Commission announced that would no longer be the case, the effect being the protection of Joe and Hunter Biden.
and we’re going to get those COVID mask questions and climate change ones... YEAH!!!
Absolutely agree. He should NOT participate in any further shams. They will mute him. But the know-nothings who may be watching will not even know he’s been muted; they’ll think there’s something wrong with their TV. Trump has more than enough rallies upcoming and he’ll get the word out himself. This is not a “Debate”. This is pure propaganda. Please Mr. President, do not do it.
Not a surprise. The media have been totally silent about any foreign policy issue or development, for months letting the outside world go by un-noticed. Of course Trump has been a spectacular success on the foreign front; his campaign ought to launch a Huge ad campaign highlighting his achievements, and touting his vastly increased Respect among foreign leaders. They dont like him, which is a plus in my book, but they have to respect an American president who knows what he is doing, and does it better than they do. Biden has no answer to this and it should be used to maximum advantage.
One of the topics is national security — That is enough of an opening for Trump to segue into CCP blackmail if Biden is elected. (Can I use work “blackmail” or is that racist?)
“The President should announce that he will be answering every question by talking about pedo joe and the security risk that hidens foreign cash bribery scheme presents to our nation.”
Yes, ignore the question and go after the criminal influence peddling racket of the Biden crime family.

“””Miller also doubled down on comments he made on Sunday criticizing the Commission on Presidential Debates for not focusing on foreign policy in what was the third scheduled presidential debate, after Trump refused to participate virtually in the second debate following his coronavirus diagnosis.
“We were supposed to have a debate largely focused on foreign policy this next Thursday, which would be perfect especially as we talk about the issue of Joe Biden potentially being compromised,” Miller said on “Fox News Sunday.” “I wish we were spending a lot more time going into foreign policy, especially as President Trump has these peace deals that he’s able to point to.”

“This is NOT a “Foreign Policy” matter. This is a NATIONAL. SECURITY. MATTER.”
Certainly a topic where Biden/China/Burisma can be discussed.
You are so correct.
