Elections Second PotUS Debate Cancelled Due to Trump Rejecting Format

[luckyshot]

Because Donald Trump wouldn't agree to a virtual debate, and the debate commission wouldn't agree to put on a live debate featuring someone with Covid, the debate is off.

This was NOT Biden's decision.

The debate commission said the debate would be virtual. Trump rejected. Now no debate.

Lol @Trump weaseling his way out of the debate and his supporters will still blame Biden for it.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

So make it virtual and let's get it on.

Not that I'd watch another one of those debacles.

 

[Jar of Flies]

Trump shook confirmed.

Trump shook confirmed.

Shook too many hands.

 

[Overtures]

I’m convinced neither Biden nor Trump want three debates. And honestly, I don’t think anyone in America wants three either.

No point in virtual. Might as well just play to campaign rally speeches on a split screen. The back and forth and how they handle confrontation is what we want to see in a debate.

Trump is scared. Either that or he doesn't know how a compute works

 

[andnowweknow]

Trump needs the debates, Biden doesn't.

Trump is a huge bitch. That is all.

The virtual debate would focus more on policy which is what the American people deserve and not the dog and pony show Trump put them through last time.

Lol.

Everyone has made their decision and the Dems rigged it for Biden.

You guys are delusional.

 

[Fawlty]

This can't help Trump's already-struggling campaign. He needed a redemption from the last one and it's a missed opportunity for him to do a post-COVID mea culpa that would actually help him.

That’s not what most people want to see at all, which is why everybody hated the first debate. People want professionalism, we are looking for a President not a carnival barker.

People want to see the candidates respond to the moderator, and to challenge each others ideas. That can happen perfectly well virtually.

 

[shockaholic12]

Trump tapped after one round to Joe Fucking Biden lol.

 

[HOLA]

Trump scared of that mute button they woulda used on him.

 

[Bloody Pulp]

imagine the VP debate without their back and forth. 2 minutes of each person completely ignoring the question and reciting prepared lines into a screen without interruption. Repeat for 60 minutes.

Barf.

 

[Overtures]

As a stand in for the virtual debate, America should just listen to Trump’s Hannity interview.


His plan for a second term does not involve any buildings with little tiny windows with no light,

You can have back and forth virtually. What makes you think you can’t respond to your opponent virtually?

Trump rejected.

That's WHY it is off.

Welp I’m not surprised by another failed thread by @Overtures

-Trump is cleared for this Saturday
-The debate commission consulted no doctors (what happen to follow the science goofs?)
-Trump has already proposed that if teleprompter joe is so afraid they can move both debates back a week
-telempromoter joe will hold a “townhall” in person....

Sooooo what’s the problem again?

This will make teleprompter joe look even weaker in American peoples eyes
