    The commission didn’t have much of a choice. It was scheduled to be his last day of isolation (from what we know).

    The ‘from what we know’ part is the problem. We’re guessing. Don’t know the first positive or first or last negative test. We really don’t know jack about his condition and his word means nothing at this point.

    Virtual is the only way to go on the 15th.

    With our campaigns lasting about 2 years, by the time of the debate there isn’t much point. People into politics already know their positions, and people who aren’t into politics aren’t going to watch. Arent UK campaigns like a week long?

    no, there are other possibilities.

    He got on stage with Trump and barely avoided getting infected by covid45. Why should anyone else infected by the super spreader in chief?

    Trump will be non contagious and immune to further infection by then. What's Biden afraid of?

    People have gotten it twice, no proof having it makes you immune. Nor do we know he won’t be contagious because we don’t even know when he got sick.
    And that doesn’t take into consideration how much of his staff have been infected and will travel with him. We already know they lie about testing

    He should negotiate with the news agencies to allow for two moderators, one on the left, and one on the right.

    The questions in the VP debate were horrible. They were more like accusations wrapped up as questions. Like a turd in a candy wrapper. The left was pretty upset he didn't take the bait though.

    Trump should demand they do something to fix these loaded questions as well. I want to know what they plan to do about Healthcare, more on trade and the economy, etc.

    At the VP debate, the moderator kept emphasizing "your campaign agreed to these rules", and now we see that the debate commission is just making them up as we go along.

    Nobody but Trump surrogates and a few die hards believe this. Hell even trump supporters that evening were shaking their heads. But you go with it.

    I don’t think anyone can win a political debate, they can only lose. The Biden ticket has gained ground and momentum. The Trump ticket is stalling and his COVID-19 infection really didn’t help. He was shown to be a fool.

    The debate commission announces this without letting the Trump campaign know??? How obvious can this get, protect Biden at all cost then blame Trump. Sounds just like Hils Russia stunt or the Covid BS that China is great but Covid is Trump's fault. This MSM is helping Biden win at all cost to the point where they're being transparent about it and it's sickening. Trump will be negative and no chance of passing the Wuhan virus but let's make sure ole Joe can get a teleprompter. What a joke.

    Lol so Trump's the one hiding in the basement? Shocker.

    He lost the last debate (if you could even call what he did "debating", thats a huge stretch of the term), and doesn't want a situation where his volume gets cut to zero while Biden talks.

    If the GOP candidates can’t follow the rules, maybe they need new ones

    How do you know he’ll be negative? What about his diseased staff?

    I am sure you think so.
    The American people, by a significant majority, did not.

    But polls are fake so nothing to worry about.

    real shame Trump is such a virus-infected coward.

    has he proposed an alternative to virtual debate yet?

    thought not

    Look, all the questions could be like, "Mr President, how does Melania deal with a penis as huge as yours in a truly stable genius? " and you'd all be like, "How can they get away with hating the President so?"

    Trump came on like a really undisciplined high school bully who had somehow gotten on the Debate team. If I was the principal he'd be expelled.

    That's a Democrat trick. Changing rules midway is what they do to protect a failing candidate like Biden.

    A lot of long-winded pseudo-intellectual conspiracy-laden excuses and explanations being thrown around for the man who supposedly tells it to us like it is already.

    Translation: Dirty Donnie the Superspreader fleeing from another humiliation.

    I'm sure Joe will make ample use of the free air time. They can put an empty chair in Dirty Donnie's spot and the whole nation can laugh at him.

    So Dirty Donnie the Superspreader is fleeing from another humiliation and will spend the next debate quivering in the White House vault.

    I'm sure Joe will make ample use of the free air time. They can put an empty chair in Dirty Donnie's spot and the whole nation can laugh at him.
