Three debates.

Four if the Diaperfuhrer releases his tax returns.

I honestly don’t get the demand for 5-6 debates. Is it just that they want the airtime? I suppose he will show for the first one, but after that they will be trying their damnedest to get him out of the other two. I just can’t see how these go well for him.

He’s losing. He thinks he can make up ground with more debates just like another candidate in this election cycle thought.

I think that when Trump is talking he is losing supporters.

I think Joe should agree to many debates.

With the opening rally of Donnie’s 2020 campaign being characterized as “flaccid,” they are getting desperate.

I look forward to the debates on policy.

Foreign policy
Biden: Details and explanations
Trump: ‘‘Russia, if you’re still listening…’’

The economy
Biden; Focus on people and jobs
Trump: ‘‘Look how high the Dow got while I’ve been president. Can’t do that under Socialism.’’

Energy
Biden: US to recommit to Paris Accord.
Trump: ‘‘AOC is going to ban all oil drilling!’’

Honestly, I can live without the debates. It’s not like no one knows these two guys. It’s just another opportunity for Trump to namecall, spew grievances, lie, and act out. And he and the Trumpazoans will claim he won even if Biden destroys him with a combination of rhetorical legerdemain and a 36” Louisville slugger. There’s no point besides a circus-like fascination for the bizarre.

Yep. Team trump is counting on a Biden gaffe to exploit, because they got nothing.

Expectations on trump are so low that Trump could shit his pants on stage and If he avoids saying “I made a boom boom” right afterward he will be given rave reviews

Yes, but this time without his phone and without an adoring audience.

There should be NO debates, because in the words of Barney Frank “it would be about as useful as arguing with a dining room table.”

Wrong, they have the racist and moron vote locked up.

What sitting incumbent confident of his re-election chances begs ‘like a dog’ for more debates?

When Donnie starts pacing around the debate stage, like he did to Hillary, I’d love to see Joe plant his knee into Donnie’s crotch, and drop him like a 400 pound sack of Sweet Potato.
