  • I think President Biden should challenge Donald Trump to a bike ride before the debate. 😂
  • @deadcarz4926
    Both in soundproof booths, only ONE mic can function at a time.
  • @user-xg9fs4vp2y
    Yeah, just like he'll testify . Expect a last minute cancellation
  • @amycantwell8715
    How can Trump agree to the debate dates? Doesn't he have to check with his parole officer 1st ??
  • To quote former United States President Theodore Roosevelt: "No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it. Obedience to the law is demanded as a right, not asked as a favor."  "The judges who administer justice in our countries must be seen as ethical and subject to meaningful correction when it is necessary. Nothing less than the rule of law is at stake."

    The commission always wanted a spectacle with shouting, bullying, one upsmanship, smart comebacks and arguing. The debates over the previous years were totally useless. Thank goodness they shut out the commission. Hopefully the networks won't try to duplicate this useless format and their questions will be on policy and plans for their Presidency and not silly questions trying to catch out the candidates on stupid issues or recent news stories.
  • These ‘new’ debate rules are basic rules of debating that have not been adhered to in recent times. Shame that the obvious has to be stated, but necessary.

    Like the Beatles said ' there are no problems only solutions '. With Dirtbag Don it's ' I complain about problems but offer no solutions '. His lone legislative accomplishment was a six trillion $ deficit expanding tax break for the rich!
  • Signs of a sociopath • behavior conflicting with social norms, repeatedly pushes the envelope into uncharted territory. • disregarding or violating the rights of others, insubordinate to any form of authority. • unconcerned in distinguishing between right and wrong. • inability to show remorse, for they have none, void of empathy. • tendency to lie often, repeatedly, automatically.  Behaves in a risky, impulsive, dangerous manner. • extremely manipulative, exploits others without any care of who gets hurt. • no conscience or guilt, refusal to accept responsibility for their actions, claiming ownership in the success of others.

    A debate sounds good, providing they can shut up each candidate when it's not their turn to speak. Let them each explain why they're best for the job.
  • Biden didn't walk away from the Commission. The RNC did in 2022, get it straight Ari!
  • @beawell12
    Remember, Trump and the GOP withdrew from the debate commission in 2022, 2 years before Biden did.
