This is literally true.
Although your side of the bet was based on the belief that Trump would not debate, over these last few weeks, I was thinking it was pretty funny that your only outs were if Biden refused to debate (rather than Trump).

I remember when Riverman convinced me that the 2016 nomination was a lock for Ā”Jeb!
Good times.

What do you think those traits were that caused persecuted white Christians to worship him?
A: He was able to soothe Americaās economic anxieties.

Instead of the moderator controlling the mics, they should do the following:
- each candidate has a big countdown clock above his head starting with 42 minutes
- each candidate has a big button that activates/deactivates his own mic
- if your mic is active, your clock is running
- only 1 mic can be active at a time
- 15 second minimum before the other guy can counter-cut you off
- debate is over when both clocks run out
This would allow you to interrupt and correct your opponent mid-sentence but it would cost you some clock. It would be strategically interesting and probably more entertaining for viewers, but Iām not actually sure it would be an improvement.

The problem for Biden would be that Trump would cut him off at 15 seconds every time, Biden would let him go a bit, and when Trump ran out of time and Biden had like 15 minutes left, everyone would change the channel.

I just laughed to myself at The West Wing vs reality on debates.
The West Wing: Letās throw out all the rules and have a real debate! Candidates proceed to have a high minded debate. The best ideas win.
Reality: Two minute answers followed by āopen debate.ā Trump shouts at Biden, the moderator, and America for 90 minutes. We ponder the need for mute buttons.

Rofl, this is exactly what I envisioned would happen.
Although instead of standing there, Trump would just leave the stage and start celebrating his victory. Maybe chain them to the podiums until both clocks run out?

Can you guys (as in the US) just do a ton of stuff like this to trigger the derptards if Biden wins please? Space X satellites wouldnāt even be a blip on the radar compared to all the derpy lawnmowers in orbit if Biden did this.

Uhh no. He was the Grandpa figure saying āWe are all in this together.ā
The reason the Challenger crew is so revered is because Reagan addressed the nation that night.

This would be a rather large political problem for Biden, which outweighs it being the right thing to do. Putting conservative lawnmowers in orbit without a corresponding increase in liberal enthusiasm is bad politics.

This is not true. He also maintains an interest in whether things are, well I was going to say big or small, but that is not accurate. Accurate is āespecially big or not especially bigā.
