New debate formats to consider

Posted on 07/02/2020 11:14:08 AM PDT by Phillyred

I think Donald Trump should push for a debate format where both sides pick 3 question askers. Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro Candace Owens on our side. Thoughts?

Thats simply not fair.

First question. Mr. Biden, do you want your crushed pills in pudding or apple sauce?

No question askers. Just a moderator to keep time and flow, and the candidates ask each other questions.

Well, for starters... hold an actual debate, not a bloody joint press conference. But that will NEVER happen.

ABSOLUTELY - after what we’ve seen by ‘the resistance’, there is simply NO WAY that the media will not supply Biden (or whoever fills in for him) with the questions, far in advance.

Should be a very even handed debate;

Sen. Biden blink twice if you want to be president. Great and brilliant answer!

Hey Trump! Why are you a NAZI loving racist homophobe tool of the Russians who eats the livers of puppies while worshiping Satan?

If I was Trump I would say its Levin or nobody moderates. All he has to point to the total bias as well Donna Brazile giving Hillary prep answers to the debate questions

Lincoln-Douglas Debate format, 1858.

Nine debates. The format was that one candidate spoke for 60 minutes, then the other candidate spoke for 90 minutes, and then the first candidate was allowed a 30-minute rejoinder. The candidates alternated speaking first.

Anyone want to bet Hidin’Biden will get all of the questions verbatim prior to the debate so he can attempt to memorize the answers so he comes off as good as possible?

Something must be done about the media. It’s unfortunate that all this has to fall on trump because Republicans in general have been cowards.

I think that is a good idea to start. Perhaps having the debates on a “neutral” network. With both conservative and commie moderators side by side.

You have the best idea.

Democrats are going to be very protective of Bidden having to debate. They are going to limit him to certain prerecorded or rehearsed talking points that have been submitted (or leaked) well in advance.

They will also probably require that he has an ear-bud so someone can tell him exactly what to say. Even that may not keep him from making a fool of himself.
