President Donald Trump on Thursday complained of potential changes proposed by the Commission on Presidential Debates that would prevent him from repeatedly interrupting his Democratic opponent Joe Biden, as the President did constantly during the first debate.
Real men wear the shock collar.
Then call the rest offâŚ
Simple as thatâŚ
Itâs not like any additional debates are going to change anyoneâs mind, unless maybe theyâre coming out of a 4 year long comaâŚ
But seriously, the only thing that will work is to have the candidates at two remote locations and cut eachâs audio feed during the time allotted the other. If morbotus is permitted to be in the same room heâll just walk over and yell at biden from three feet away when his mic is cut.
Like I said, there are no changes to the debate format that Trump will accept. He will denounce anything has âriggedâ. Either the Commission bends to Trump, or they stand firm and put the onus on Trump to accept, accept and sabotage, or cancel.
Iâm thinking a trapdoor and a garbage chuteâŚ
This.
100%
I thought all the polls showed he came in thirdâŚ
Only in the real world. In his head, he won hands down and then some.
Or straight to the furnace, Sweeney Todd style.
âRNC Chair Ronna McDaniel similarly suggested on Thursday that she hoped the CPD âdoes not change the rules to once again protect Joe Biden from answering to the American people.ââ
If not dead, irony has suffered another debilitating blow from this administration. Case in point, Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel. Recall, she jettisoned her maiden/middle name as a condition of working for the Groper.
The ability to silence the Groperâs microphone is to let Biden have time to address the American people.
Actually Iâd like to see how Trump handles himself when questioned by everyday Americans. He didnât do so well with that ABC event in Philly.
And even worse the visual of Biden distracted with his attention elsewhere and the audience at home not knowing why. This isnât ESPN and PTI, not sure why this idea has caught on. If Biden is going to be on stage with Trump, then everyone at home should get the full effect of what being on stage with him means.
The RNC chair suggested during a Fox Business Network interview that changes from the commission were intended to assist Biden, who she says âgot awayâ without answering tough questions at the first debate.
Oooookaaaaayy, so in the first debate, Trump kept interrupting Biden and preventing him from answering questions. But Biden âgot awayâ with not answering? And now making a change to reduce interruptions would help Biden ⌠how, under those premises?
Olâ Ronna (used-to-be-but-now-disavows-Romney) McDaniels has drunk so much koolaid sheâll be peeing for a decade after IMPOTUS has been living in a cardboard box on the street.
Not the one conducted amongst âThose in line for inheriting his golden toiletâ. On there he came in first.
Maybe that was part of the plan. Derail the debate so badly that either Biden would cancel future debates or the Debate Commission would feel forced to change the rules which he could then reject. Either way, he can limit himself to one debate, declare himself the winner, and blame everyone else for the lack of future debates. Fortunately, that debate was so damn awful that nobody who doesnât already have a Trump sign in their yard will actually care.
I predict the way this will go, is that the debate commission will come up with something toothless that will have no real impact. Like having the moderators call a more forceful time-out than Wallace managed, and lecture both candidates after Trump interrupts too often. Then back to business as usual.
They wonât use a mic cutoff because Trump will never accept that. Theyâll save face by adding anything at all to the format, even if itâs just cosmetic. And in the town hall format, Biden can just do his usual thing and let Trump destroy himself, again.
Iâd stuck this over on the WaR a bit ago, so please pardon any duplication, since it should live here:
Iâve been reading about proposed changes to the debate model after the Trump performance. I donât support this at all. It was painful and triggering, sure. But thatâs the intention of the debates themselves. You now see the candidates directly. Just because heâs a terrible person who couldnât be controlled doesnât mean that you change the rules for him. The unintended effect of having a moderator repeatedly cut his mic is that the afterward pundits say how much heâs improved and so better behaved! Isnât he presidential!
So keep it the same, keep doing the same, painful as it is. This isnât for entertainment value, itâs for information as a job interview. And for those on the Dem side thinking we should stop, if you are winning, donât slow down to make it better for the other guy. You win. Talk about how painful it was after, but keep going.
As a final recourse, which is something I havenât seen discussed, is that the moderator simply cancels the debate if both parties canât behave. You have three interruptions, just like in a refereed match. A warning, A âpoint lostâ where you get your mike turned off and the other person gets a hockey-style two minutes penalty, and then cancel the whole thing- youâve forfeited. Real impact is the only deterrent that will make Trump stop his behavior. In his mind, he gets to watch Fox tomorrow how he failed and lost the whole thing by not keeping his mouth shut.
Treasonous trump, the pathologically lying imbecilic blowhard, is confusing the enforcement of the rules with changing the rules.
What a mindless twit.
