This could give Trump 2 uninterrupted minutes to talk about the Biden hard drive ... unless of course they mute him for saying THAT ... might be going too far even for the media.

I’ve been on Zoom when they force everyone to go mute. It sucks when there is only one person speaking at a time.

Who besides Lying Leftists and RINO’s are on the Debate Commission?

Fugeddabouddit.

Mr. Trump, just have you and Biden pick your top subjects. Each discuss their top three subjects for 15 minutes or a half an hour or so. No moderator, no “Debate Commission”.

If you both want to have a verbal joust at some point, have at it. Otherwise it’s each one discussing a particular subject while the opponent sits.

No Republicans on the debate crockofhit.

Only RINOS and even Bob Dole has called them out.

Trump needs to take any question they ask and turn it into a 2 minute answer about whatever he wants to talk about. Screw the rules, they are just silencing the President of the United States

I’d like to see a requirement for an uninterrupted, 10-minute, opening statement by each candidate with no teleprompters, ear buds, depends, or written materials allowed...

Also, each candidate will have a 6-year old girl standing next to him with a water bottle in case he needs a sip during the opening statement...

Sitting President goes last...

Not really, the debate moderator Kristen Welker has already given him all the questions and his spending the rest of this week, working on his answers.

Put a question about Hunter’s laptop on the list and Joe will mute himself completely.

If the debate goes forward, the President should greet the former Vice-President at the opening of the debate by saying, ‘Hey, Big Guy, how are things going?” Then the debate would probably be taken off the air with Biden lying in a melted blob of spinelessness on the floor, in admittance of the fact the he is the “Big Guy” referred to on Hunter’s laptop.

Are they going to throw up big red banners on the screen that say things like “WARNING: THIS IS MISINFORMATION” and “THERE ARE NO CREDIBLE SOURCES FOR WHAT tRUMPf IS SAYING.” ???

I’m sure the debate commission can follow the lead from FakeBook and Twatter.

What shampoo will the girl use? Biden wants to know. Maybe it should be written into the debate rules.

WTF? How can the president of the United States have virtually no impact on how debates take place? Does Trump have one person on his entire team with any kind of foresight?
Flame away but Trump has been president for almost four years and we are still just inches away from being a hardcore socialist country. We’ve been playing defense for four damn years. Trump could have made the greatest deals the planet has ever seen for the last 4 years but if Biden wins everything, everything goes right out the window. And every one of these bastards should have been in jail long ago. And now we’re getting suckered one more time. This is so damn tiring.
