    4 HOURS? Anybody watching Biden's "speeches"? 15 minutes and he's off into space.

    I had to google him. He's just a comedian. He lacks the gravitas to be taken seriously!
    Mind you, Trump also lacks gravitas.

    Four hours? I get sick of listening to most politicians within 20 minutes. Who but a masochist would watch four hours of it?

    Better to have four one-hour debates, IMO.

    Don't leave out the mouth-breathing and the knuckle-dragging. Details are important!

    A four hour debate?
    I'd love to see that but I seem to have scheduled having my head shaved with a cheese grater while chewing tin foil that night ...

    True, BUT...

    1. We want to know that each candidate has the stamina to make it through since the job requires that kind of (and more) attention span.
    2. Sometimes, it's just better to swallow the nasty medicine instead of drawing it out into multiple gulps. ;-0

    Can you imagine the level of sheer blather Trump would pour out?

    He's an entertainer. I give him all the credit due an entertainer of his type, which is similar to the credit I give Bill Maher. I don't much like either as an entertainer, though they each have their moments. That's where it ends.

    This is an obvious publicity stunt by Rogan.

    We already went through this six months ago. I'm not sure who Trump supporters think they're fooling. The Sanders camp said the exact same things before the Biden-Sanders debate. Bernie Bros screamed "dementia" more than Trump supporters. After the debate, which Biden won, Bernie supporters quickly abandoned that idea.

    Remember the first debate and Castro's stupid remark about Biden forgetting what he said? Castro put his foot in his mouth. People have been playing this "mentally incompetent" game since the beginning.

    I agree with you. Keep it up Trump supporters. Trump says Biden is taking drugs to improve his debate performance. Watch for that. It will be the excuse when Trump loses Debate #1.

    Apparently not.

    "Getting trolled" is the excuse given when finding out the fallacy or explaining the stupidity of Trump's claims.

    All the excitement in GOP circles regarding a non-existent Kenyan birth certificate indicates trolling in the most extreme form. You just have it backwards on who is easy to troll.

    Funny thing about comedians, they usually have more sense than your average person. You may consider this a publicity stunt by Rogan, but he has been talking to people of all stripes for several years on his podcasts. From Bernie Sanders to Elon Musk to Neil deGrasey Tyson and hundreds of other notable people. He is no slouch. And seeing him host a debate or even just a talk with both Trump and Biden together would be very interesting to watch.

    No, apparently it is.

    According to the LW on this board - and I could find you plenty of quotes saying so just from one poster alone - anytime the Left does something that the right comments on, the right has been "trolled"

    Sauce for the goose and all that.

    And the Democrats won't have a friendly moderator, or format, to use to their advantage,

    You like him, I don't. That's typical with entertainers. Bill Maher did the same thing. Still does, I assume.

    I'm talking about members of Congress questioning the birthplace of the POTUS based on a lie, not trolls on a discussion forum.

    God I pray everyday for Trump to stand in front of a camera and talk without a teleprompter for 4 straight hours in front of the entire Country.

    If I were Biden, I accept and let Trump lose the election all on his own in those 4 hours.

    You only say this because you know Biden won't accept.

    Biden has already accepted 3 debates.

    Only a moron would accept a 4 hour debate from Trump on a podcast. In front of the Nation on camera would be a no brainer for Biden.

    Which does nothing to bolster your point, or diminish mine.
    Hmm.
    If YOU were Biden, YOU would accept. You said so yourself.

    On camera in front of the Nation, absolutely. On a ****ing podcast? Waste of time.

    The offer put forth in the OP includes cameras with, presumably, a live stream -- and thus, not a podcast.

    Hell. Why does it even have to be moderated?

    Every debate should be the two locked in a room for 8 hours straight.
