Debate Commission Announces Second Presidential Debate Will Be Virtual (Update: Trump Refuses to Participate, Biden Will Hold Town Hall Instead)
- Thread starter cameron
- Start date
Every day with this dude. That statement about the debate is pathetic, childish, and unbecoming of a toddler.
And everyone knows it.
And everyone knows it.
What a fucking coward! And what an unprofessional statement for the campaign manager too!
Though good to see Biden opting for a town hall instead. At the very least the man baby won't be interrupting.

Trump is screwing up big time here. Poor messaging after being infected by covid and now no debate. There is no way he is scoring points for ducking this debate.
yeah either trump is just entirely out of control or his campaign manager should never get another job. just one big long series of unforced errors
Trump's in a no-win situation vis-a-vis debates. He either shows up and gets owned again or he ducks out and retains some semblance of control over the narrative. Skipping it will hurt him, no doubt, but probably not as much as showing up would. Especially if he's not in the condition to stand and speak coherently for 90 uninterrupted minutes.
Lmao, I knew this shit was going to happen. If he can't interrupt or talk over his opponent and ignore the rules, he won't participate. Dude's patient zero and still wants that format.
In an alternate universe Trump is healthy, shows up to the debate, and flips out on an average voter for asking a question he doesn't like. I was really looking forward to it.
This is a bad look, but maybe going on live television and dying from coronavirus might be a worse look for the campaign?
He's almost certainly ducking out because he can't physically cut it.
They better mute people when their time
he will probably do COVID rally.
No lie, I would have liked to see that.
Both are bad moves from his eroding campaign. I guess the question is, which choice fucks up his campaign harder?
He'll walk it back, but with Biden now doing a town hall with ABC on the 15th, it's too late.
Yup. That said considering the Hail Mary's they are trying to lob now, and his own extreme narcissism that won't let anyone else get shine...I feel like he's gonna overule cooler heads (are there any cooler heads that are healthy? lol) and might still try to pull some shit in the next day or two if possible even tho it's clearly the best option for his campaign.
At this point it's just how quickly he wants to bleed.
Brilliant fuck you move by the Biden campaign, Trump completely blew it again. I will not be surprised if the debate on 10/22 never happens and they each do their own events instead.
I don't believe he has an official position, but he assisted and was the stand in for Mike Pence during the VP debate prep.
lmao I forgot how funny Hammond's Al Gore was, Farrell got so much spotlight on his also great GWB.
Perhaps but he's already planning campaign events again. Apparently that's not the concern - unless he backs out of those too.
Now this right here is what I'm fucking talking about. Giving Biden an unopposed town hall in Pennsylvania is such a great thing right now.
Hey now. That's unfair. He has debate spurs.
I still use the word "strategery" on a daily basis.
I'm calling it now. Trump's rally is going to be some bullshit prerecorded thing with plenty of cuts and editing to hide the fact that he can't speak for longer than 2 minutes without having a coughing fit.
Agreed, it's going to be a 'show' and not the normal high off various non-medicinal substances rant fests of old.
I imagine it being something like the one he had on the WH lawn, hell it will probably be on the WH lawn since he probably can't risk traveling too far, and as far as content is concerned some of that GOP Convention Razzle Dazzle with him giving a 5 minute rant at the end. Maybe Scott Baio will perform!
Yeah, at this point, if I were Biden, at absolute most I would only agree to one more debate, fully remote, and a strict one speaks at a time format. After the shitstorm and blatant disregard for any debate protocol in both his debate with Trump and by Pence with Harris, I would not concede to any more of their childish demands, or allow them to create another travesty of an event.
Biden has fully got the moral high ground given this poor behavior, and the risk surrounding Trump freaking endless COVID hazard absolutely swarming through his body and the entire the White House, and all who are forced to be around him right now, and nothing is lost if this whole thing just doesn't happen anymore.
Trump is not going to coherently debate anything, let him act indignant and throw a twitter tantrum about it, throw another COVID rally, while Biden does a legit Town Hall where he can truly get his own message out, and lets just get to the votes.

This is for the best. We don't need anymore debates and trump continues to look like a clown running away
Imagine a timeline where Trump comes clean, admits he was an asshat, admits he is really sick, and concedes and goes back to the hospital
Cause I realize that this is the one where he will do exactly none of these things and die due to his own hubris
It's funny as hell

He knows this is pretty much the equivalent of Trump being handed a layup on a child's plastic basketball hoop and then punting the ball into someone else's backyard.
He's very good at speaking directly and clearly. Hearing that Sanders is/was a hero of his, it's disappointing that he became such a sellout.
The universe keeps giving him free throws and he consistently shits on the court instead.
Why so? Just curious. The town hall is a great turn but I'd have thought it'd have been wiser to do it in a more contested locale.
He won in 2016 in spite (NOT because) of doubling down on his bullshit, so he still thinks its a winning strategy.
Trump needs PA. if biden wins PA trumps map is damn near impossible to win.
Ahh I see. I would have thought central/western PA would have been better for that. But all good.
Its extremely helpful that Trump is doing a better job of campaigning for Biden than his own staffers. Hes shooting himself in the foot while he gives the Biden camp surplus ammo to shoot him in the other foot.
Isnt Biden from PA?? I dont see Trump winninf that.
likewise Trump will probably win Florida because he lives there.....I think?
