With all the stupidity involved in a simple debate...I think i’ll pass. Much as I love to see Trump in a debate...seeing Pedo Joe is a bridge too far.

I won’t watch nor will I care about CNN decides to “fix” it.

I agree, but I am not the person who runs this type thing.

WE know. The overlords also know and work with their Marxist partners. Trump should never agree to participate in this, yet again, Lucy football sham.

Trump will say something before his mic gets cut. Even so, Biden will be within eardshot and will get triggered. Biden’s mic will be muted for his demented response rants. If Jill isn’t up there to control him, it’s going to be the show of the century.

I believe that Trump’s microphone will be muted when it’s not his turn to speak but I do not believe they’ll do that for Biden. Blaring out ridiculous sound bite nonsense during his off-mike turn is de rigueur for slimy Biden. He did that constantly with that idiot Paul Ryan.

In fact, CNN will probably have a podium cue screen for Biden for when he is too senile to come up with zingers on his own.

These are rules president trump agreed to even before accepting the debate. He obviously doesn’t mind these rules.

Trump knows too well the left makes horrible choices that blow up in their face. He isn’t going to stand in their way. I want to hear about the post debate Trump interview that will be the money get. Not the CNN snooze. Most people find Biden unwatchable so just like theSOTU speech nobody will watch after 5 minutes

I think trump made the right decision. Biden hasn’t had a single time where he didn’t have a script. Yes he’s practicing day and night for this but, it’s not easy to remember every fact when you are out of practice. Trump has been having rallies and interviews all along which keeps the mind active.

President Trump doesn't care how the debates are structured or conducted. In my opinion, all he cares about is getting the cadaver in front of the public, exposing his weakness's and humiliating him...entertainment at it's finest.

It’s going to be a fascinating night. I think trump wins especially with the rules. He’ll look like the adult in the room.

Trump has to do something hilarious in the first 5 minutes which CNN will allow or the audience will tune out. maybe he could get 1000 flies into the venue.
