If it happens - (lol if) - then Biden should just stop, look exacerbated and appeal to the moderator. If Trumps mic is off and they don’t broadcast his ranting he’ll just look like the idiot that he is.

Biden should get out there and publicly say he doesn’t want future debate rules to be changed, and in fact ask for MORE debates with the same format, just get out there and rub it in Trump’s face how he absolutely shot himself in the foot
Trump’s team is crying about “changing the rules in the middle of the game” as if they give a shit about the rules, they’re looking for an out to not show up and then launch a bunch of grievance baloney

These are the same people who wanted to throw in a last-minute drug test and ear inspection.

Damn that’s good
Is this CSPAN guy even a journalist? Does he interview/interact with politicians?
I don’t know him but sorta recognize his photo as the guy who stares at the camera while the biggest whack jobs in America spew. And then thanks them for the call.
Hard to see him corralling Trump, although perhaps the aforementioned is exactly the experience needed for knowing when to cut him off.
KidBiden has hydrocephalus imo.

This actually makes me feel slightly better for some reason.
Trump isn’t Franco, or Hitler, or Mussolini, or Stalin. Trump is Louis the XVI.
Is that because Franco is still dead?

Joe needs to borrow a phrase from Dubya, with slight alteration.
“Donald, I can’t hear you. The American people can’t hear you. But you’re going to be hearing from all of them very soon.”

“I’ll debate him under the old rules, I’ll debate him under the new rules. I’ll debate him in Ohio, in Florida, in Pennsylvania, or on the National Mall. I don’t give a damn, I’ll kick his ass all over this country.”

I’ll debate him in South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico. I’ll debate in California and Texas and New York. Then we’ll debate in Washington DC to take back the White House! Yaaaa!!

That town hall format is a bunch of bullshit. The CPD gets together and makes sure that nobody makes a candidate look bad.
Debates should never happen. They were good in the 60s when there were like 5 TV channels and 30 minutes of news per night. With 24/7 news channels, we’re surrounded by information about them constantly. We know every little thing about them while in the past that wasn’t the case. Debates informed us about things people may not have known.
But now, what do people remember from past debates? It’s never amazing policy proposals. It’s always the fuck-ups. That’s why nobody ahead should ever want to debate. People only remember the mistakes.

At least someone tried to blow Franco up (a Brit anarchist named Stuart Christie, if my memory serves me well).

Hilarious to watch Trump fans turn on Sully. @Trolly - CP needs this important info.

You know… in terms of the biggest gaffe of the night from the first debate I think the sleeper is going to end up winning the day. Telling working class whites that you’ve made insulin as cheap as water… that’s a huge lie that hits them where they live. Particularly in the 40-60 demographic. You feed that into the facebook algo and you could do some fucking damage. It’ll literally target diabetics.

I think this would be wonderful news, other than it means I would lose my bet with grue.
If the people who barely pay attention get their only taste of King Orange as the raging madman from debate #1, I think that’s a really good thing.

“Things white people say.”
Be skeptical when white people claim a guy won them over with charm and charisma when he called blacks welfare queens and monkeys that don’t wear shoes and that sentiment was the underlying premise of his entire candidacy.
