Agree. And Trump did say "name the time, name the place".

Got to roll with this IMO maybe push back on one or two things but overall I'm delighted.


Indeed

And if I were Trump I would say let CNN do it. That might seem crazy, but they have been giving Biden more shite lately than anyone else and they seem to be trying to make a change for some reason.

If that is the case, then Trump needs to decline. He will not get even fake impartiality.

Yeah, that first debate was an absolute shiite show. I'm also OK with not having a crowd. Both sides stuff the crowd with partisans and between the debaters talking over and the crowd cheering or jeering, it turns it into a crap fest.

I do wish they would end the moderator asking questions. The debate should be centered around a specific topic like, foreign policy, and let the candidates go at it. Each candidate has a 2-minute time limit for a response. All the moderator does is enforce those time limits and keep the debate on track.

If you're referring to the ChrisWallace debate, that was the free-wheeling format agreed to by both sides in advance. Wallace's continual interruptions were inexcusable, as was his personal decision to exclude Hunter's Laptop due to it being "Russian Disinformation."

It's easy to forget that "frickery," as you put it.

Finally, debates have basically been like a BRAVO reunion the last 2 elections, completely worthless because no one can make a complete point or statement because it's become "winning" to shout over your opponent. This has been suggested 100s of times on this board.

Also agree with no audience, I don't need an hour of clapping and hollering in a 2 hr debate. It adds nothing and serves no purpose.

Completely disagree with no third party candidate though.

That is not as bad as I was expecting. I thought he would demand the use of a teleprompter.

No reason for trump to debate Biden. Its Biden VS his record and that will be his undoing.

I'm not going to read all of the replies, but I'm going to just assume that Cult45 isn't going to admit that Trump let himself get backed into a corner by Biden and submitted.

No negotiation on terms of the debate
No negotiation on moderators
Biden made demands and Trump just said okay dokie!

Im a supporter of Trump and will vote for him again in November if he is still on the ballot, but when it comes to people he's incredibly fricking stupid.

Yep - 100% spot on.

The whole "I'll debate anywhere anytime" bravado has backfired spectacularly and now we get a debate on CNN.

And MAGA isn't going to admit this, but Biden's going to win the debate. Trumpkins have set the expectations so low that all Biden has to do is not shite himself and he wins.

Trump also isn't going to do what he should do anyway during the debate - which is to let Biden talk. If you let Biden talk, he's going to embarrass himself. Instead, Trump is going to interrupt and interrupt and interrupt, reminding voters how unhinged and crazy he is.
