OK, so Biden would be up for a debate with Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson as moderators? He should be able to handle that.

No, I don't think that the far left should be the only ones asking the questions. It's so slanted and biased.

Do you think the debates would be fair if they were only moderated by Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity types every year? Because that's what we have now.

They werent all from the far left.. but by that line of thinking...should any future presidential candidate participate in any debate?

The way debates are run these days, it is a disaster.

And all the voters are much worse for it.

The politically smart move for someone like Trump is absolutley to skip, but that is bad for the voters, who deserve to see public officials put under a little bit of pressure.

It should be a true debate, not moderated.

Yes.

He should. If I’m managing Biden there’s no way I’m putting him on a debate stage.

He needs to challenge Biden to a debate a month and just smear the stage with that bumbling potato


Yep, no left leaning moderators..just let the two candidates ask each other questions..that would be unbelievable..Trump would mop the floor with him!

Considering the various gag orders, it was probably a necessary legal move.

Imagine applauding something that only benefits him personally and doesn't benefit America at all.

It was a POS move because he knew that he would get fricked up in a debate and he cannot answer for multiple things like COVID, and the clapping seals would allow him to do it.

LAST NIGHT, he said he did a fantastic job on Covid.

That's what this allowed. frick all of you for allowing it to happen.

Moderator has questions written on paper in a bowl.

Candidate 1 walks over, reaches into bowl, hands paper to moderator, who asks the candidate that question.

Candidate responds, then other candidate, then back to first, then back to second.

Candidate 2 walks over...

The only thing the moderator should do is ask the question given to them on the paper.

Mikes should automatically cut off at end of time limit.

He didn't give them legitimacy and it worked pretty well. I suspect he will hit a podcast tour this summer. I think he should and will leverage the Corporate Legacy Media. Do podcasts where millons listen and put thier nuts in a box. Give them a poison pill to swallow by not giving them legitimacy. They either have to ignore him or give him free access to "alternative media." I think he smashes Biden if he does this and margins will be outside of cheating.

He’s certainly on the left. He has a show on CNN and is a registered democrat. Why didn’t you answer the question?

Should Biden and democrats be forced to only have presidential debates with moderators from Fox News and Newsmax that only ask loaded questions with a right leaning slant?

Your dodging of the question tells us all we need to know.

Jesus Christ, Trump was under threat of Impeachment before he took the Oath of Office.

The fact that he hasn't had his Political Persecutors wiped off the face of the Earth is testament to his demeanor.

I love seeing the Republicans finally embrace their Democrat roots under Trump.

Just a few years ago, this was one of the worst things a potential presidential candidate could have done. Now it's being praised. Funny how that works.

He is left. Candy Crowley, Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz are far left.

In general, it is not a good idea to get up on stage and debate your opponent, when the supposedly objective "moderator" has made a living out of dissing you at every turn and is politically aligned with your opponent.

Truth. It was a setup. He was too smart and saw it coming from a mile away. But it was more than just sidestepping a trap. He ended up making the others look like Junior Varsity. They were a punchline.

fricked up thing is, he would have dominated and the shite garbage media would still lie and say he didn’t, and the usual BS.
