re: First presidential debate slated for Sep 16 at Texas State University in San Marcos

The Commission is acting all proper like they are so diplomatic and fair. After reading the article a bit...I think they want the first debate AFTER early voting starts in a lot of States. I also think "the commission" saying they will invite the candidates" Is them thinking Trump will be in jail by then.

The first presidential debate is scheduled for Sept. 16 at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. The second debate will be in Petersburg, Virginia, on Oct. 1, and the third will be held in Salt Lake City on Oct. 9. A vice presidential debate is scheduled for Sept. 25 in Easton, Pennsylvania.


But the Trump campaign, pointing to the commission decision, on Tuesday evening charged "by refusing to move up the debates, they are doing a grave disservice to the American public who deserve to hear from both candidates before voting begins. President Trump has stated he will debate Joe Biden anytime, anywhere, anyplace, and Joe Biden himself just agreed to debate."

"We are committed to making this happen with or without the Presidential Debate Commission. We extend an invitation to every television network in America that wishes to host a debate, and we once again call on Joe Biden’s team to work with us to set one up as soon as possible. The American people deserve it," LaCivita and Wiles added.

The commission for more than three decades has hosted and produced the presidential and vice presidential general election debates. But two years ago the Republican National Committee voted unanimously to stop working with the commission, which it charged was biased against GOP candidates.
