Because you have people framing the topics/questions to help one candidate as opposed to what America needs to hear.

He should hammer China.

Actually he should hammer China every chance he gets, and call Joe "Beijing Biden"

Nah, frick ALL THAT.
Stand there for the full debate, stare directly at Joe Biden and use ALL of your time to ask Quid-Pro-Joe and Hunter Biden questions. Stand there and wait for an answer. Respond/ react to NOTHING else.

I bet you are wrong. The moderator will be told to be on the lookout for this, and at the mere mention of Hunter or the emails will jump in to cut Trump off every single time. I wouldn't be so surprised if they didn't have a 4 second delay and a dump button that would shut off the audio before TV audiences get a chance to hear it.

Bet their planned response when Trump brings it up is to remind everyone of Beau & how he died. He did it last debate when Trump was clearly talking about hunter.

Shows you how disconnected the journo bubble is from normal people. No talk about the economy or jobs or housing or education? Instead we get to hear more race baiting and climate alarmism from white liberals.

Debate Commission


Must seriously be looked at as a viable entity after this election cycle is over and done with. They're supposedly "non-partisan" but there is no such thing in American politics anymore. The only way to do this fairly is to have four debates (two in September and two in October) with two moderated by conservatives, and two moderated by liberals.

It's stunning that we're two weeks away from a presidential election and immigration hasn't been brought up at all at any of the debates.

It tells you all you need to know about how Biden and DNC feel about immigration as a topic - they know most people (not just Republicans) are going to be opposed to their position on it. Hence why there's radio silence on this issue.

No immigration either; the #1 issue in 2016. And notice they no longer want to talk economy which is the #1 issue for 2020.

Top issues in most polls are usually:

1. Economy
2. COVID
3. Race
4. Crime

NBC’s last poll asked which part do you trust to handle *issue*?

GOP has double digit leads on the economy and crime. Democrats were more trusted on COVID and race. No surprise what issues were picked for the final debate.

Such a worn-out canard.

By this point, everybody knows that Obama picked Joe as a life insurance policy.

Climate change pivot Hunter flying around on jets lining up graft and parting with hookers

Race relations = why was Hunter always with white hookers

Working equality = why was Hunter always flying around lining up graft with white hookers with expensive tastes . Why not give a street hookers equal chance

Hell no although Trump is going to break one off in Biden's arse- It should absolutely be a topic that should be asked by the moderator. American people have a right to know.

But this Obama loving MSM mod. won't ask and Biden will just lie through his implants and deny everything.

Trump would really mindfrick libs if when climate change came up, he would go full in on calling climate change a gigantic myth and hoax. And boast about how much money has been saved by cutting administration climate change initiatives.

If I was Trump I would ask: "If scientists in the 70's sounded the alarm of man made global cooling, in the 90's and early 2000's claimed man made global warming and now have come up with the term 'climate change', how is it settled science? In 20 years scientists are going to change the narrative again. I believe in common sense energy conservation, not radical environmentalism."

The dead kid card. “Boo hoo hoo, I once had to bury a child. You should vote for me.”

It can be amazingly effective with certain demographics. Going into their final gubernatorial debate in 2003, Kathleen Blanco was trailing Bobby Jindal 53-47 and losing ground every day. And, as in their prior debates, Bobby was cleaning her clock. In her closing statement of that final debate, she threw up a Hail Mary and started reminding everybody that she had lost a son. In the next couple of days, that 53-47 had flipped in the other direction, and she ended up winning.

Trump was going to cause a nuclear war in 2016.

Now he's being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and Israel and Muslim nations are beginning to create economic and diplomatic ties for the first time in history.

Biden has never been right on a single foreign policy issue despite being "the foreign policy guy" for Obama in 2008 (part of why he was picked as VP).

Now Biden is going to solve all of the disasters (where are they?) around the world that Trump has created.




Now ask yourself why NO ONE wants foreign policy to be in focus at any point during this campaign.

And to be fair to the media propagandists, they have done a remarkably good job in ensuring Trump never has the ability to compare and contrast his foreign policy victories and successes with a lifetime full of foreign policy failures by Biden. It's quite sad.

Trump should just refuse to participate. Plain and simple that rehashing topics from the first debate entirely is a no-go.
