Popular Post Social Media Posted May 15 Popular Post Share Posted May 15 President Biden has challenged Trump to a one-on-one showdown, bypassing the traditional structure established by the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates. This move, which could see the two leaders face off as soon as next month, marks a departure from the standard format of three debates hosted by the commission in September and October. In a video released Wednesday, Biden made his intentions clear, citing his previous debate victories over Trump in 2020 and calling on the former president to set the stage for their next encounter. Referencing Trump's ongoing legal proceedings, Biden taunted him to "pick the dates" and suggested he's free on Wednesdays due to his trial schedule. Trump's campaign had previously expressed eagerness for more debates, urging for an early start to the proceedings. However, Biden's challenge shifts the dynamics of the debate landscape, aiming to overhaul the traditional format perceived as resembling an entertainment spectacle. The Biden campaign's proposal seeks to streamline the debate process by collaborating directly with broadcast networks, bypassing the Commission on Presidential Debates. Their vision entails a simplified setup with only the two candidates and a moderator, eliminating the presence of an audience. Additionally, they advocate for stricter enforcement of debate rules, including automatic microphone cutoffs to ensure adherence to time limits and speaking turns. If Biden's proposal comes to fruition, it would include a vice presidential debate in July followed by a presidential debate in September, all scheduled before the majority of early voting takes place. This timeline underscores the campaign's emphasis on engaging voters early on through direct engagement between the candidates. Up Date: Trump Agrees: In his response on Truth Social, Trump expressed readiness to participate in the proposed debates and advocated for more than just two opportunities for the American people to hear from the candidates. They have both agreed to participate in a June 27 presidential debate. Set to take place in CNN's Atlanta studios, the debate will be moderated by news anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, with no audience members in attendance. The swift acceptance of the invitation by both candidates indicates a willingness to engage in a head-to-head discussion, despite the absence of the Commission. Biden's decision to challenge Trump to a debate earlier in the day, followed by Trump's acceptance and proposal for additional debates in July and August, underscores the eagerness of both campaigns to engage in direct dialogue. Biden's offer to debate twice in one-on-one settings reflects a proactive approach to engaging voters well before most early voting takes place.

If Trump doesn't destroy Biden in a debate he doesn't deserve to win the election. 2 3 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post neeray Posted May 15 Popular Post Share Posted May 15 This will be a great chance once again for Trump to show off his LACK OF debating skills and etiquette. Hopefully they will debate some real issues and it's not just another debate where Trump descends to insults and over-talk. 4 1 1 2 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as he did last time...and checkmate when he famously and fittingly told the bloviating orange blowhard..."Will you shut up, man?

Popular Post Cryingdick Posted May 16 Popular Post Share Posted May 16 (edited) It's funny not even two days ago I said Biden thinks he is Clint Eastwood. Now he plagiarizes him in a fifteen second film with 5 or more edits. Biden is pretending that Trump didn't make the challenge first. 5he only issue should be what questions are asked. I don't care what news outlet carries it but you can't ask questions about abortion and chocolate chip ice cream and then ask Trump why he makes the devil blush. but my call on Biden being an Eastwood wannabe was spot on.

Popular Post pomchop Posted May 16 Popular Post Share Posted May 16 Will Trump come up with some BS excuse as to why he will refuse to debate as it is all so unfair and proceed to whine like a five year old? or Will a debate be live streamed from a Trump jail cell? So the deal is no audience and mike gets cut when your time is up....neither of those will put donnie in a good mood. It's all so unfair. 1 1 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all so unfair. that's weird it was Trump that made an emphatic call for debates. Biden responded after being possessed by the spirit of Eastwood, he would do it. Especially if he can control the venues. It is really too bad that RFk won't be able to be there as both sides mad sure of that. 4 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't care less about his debating skills; I just want to see Biden humiliated. On the other hand, if Biden is destroyed in the debates it would be likely for him to be replaced and that might ( depending on the new candidate ) be enough for the Dems to win. Sooooo, I half want Trump to win and half to lose. I'd still like to see Biden humiliated, so perhaps 60% for Trump to destroy Biden and 40% for Trump to lose, but not by too much. 3 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the Gaza conflict will still be going in November? If it doesn't stop soon I think all the Gazans will be dead by then. I don't think anyone that would vote for Trump will change their minds because of that. Biden and Trump are pretty even on israel, so that cancels out.
