FURTHER STATEMENT FROM THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN ON CPD UNILATERAL DECISION ON VIRTUAL DEBATE
DonaldJTrump.com ^ | 10/08/20 | Bill Stepien

Posted on 10/08/2020 3:25:56 PM PDT by Enlightened1

“The American people should not be deprived of the chance to see the two candidates for president debate face to face two more times just because the Commission on Presidential Debates wants to protect Joe Biden. It remains extremely suspect that the CPD announced the brand new virtual format at 7:30am ET today immediately after Vice President Mike Pence had just wiped the floor with Senator Kamala Harris. Clearly the commission wanted to shift attention away from Pence’s complete victory. As President Trump said, a virtual debate is a non-starter and would clearly be a gift to Biden because he would be relying on his teleprompter from his basement bunker. Voters should have the opportunity to directly question Biden’s 47-year failed record of leadership. We agree that this should happen on October 22, and accordingly, the third debate should then be shifted back one week to October 29. The CPD and the media cannot hide Joe Biden forever. Americans deserve to hear directly from both presidential candidates on these dates, October 22 and 29.”

 - Bill Stepien, Trump 2020 campaign manager

A virtual debate is just as bad as letting the moderator mute a mic, because that is exactly what they can do in a virtual one.

Hold the debate on the 15th and 22nd as scheduled. Make them reverse their move on the 15th.

Democrats never know when to quit digging the hole that we’re gong to bury them in do they?

We need this in a commercial: “Joe Biden: No Cojones.”

More recovery time for Trump.
If he feels a bit off, he will certainly not admit that publicly.

Killing off any further debates benefits Biden, I’d be surprised if Biden goes along with more. From what I see, it looks like the Biden camp is going with the “Trump can’t make up his mind” line to give them wiggle room.

Everyone should see who is on this Debate Commission...LIBs and RINOs.

“I’m tuning in to the Limbaugh Presidential Debates at 9:00 AM tomorrow morning.”

It’ll be pretty much preaching to the already converted, but at this late stage things are probably well casted as to a result, anyway.

Might as well just make Trump debate the debate commission moderator instead. That’s what this amounts to. They’re all in to protect Biden whatever it takes, even if it destroys every ounce of credibility they think they possess.

The so-called ‘intellectual class’ that supports Biden are proving what blithering idiots they are.

Seriously, if someone doesn’t know who they are voting for yet, they shouldn’t be allowed to vote...or have children.

President Trump had told the commission up front when all the details of the debates were being sorted that Biden had to be on stage.

At the very least, they should have checked with the campaign first even if the reason they wanted to change was because of Biden being too scared to be around President Trump now.

It is a polarized election, it would take an astounding October Surprise to change whatever course it will take.

Just have Trump debate Bernie. He’s behind Biden’s “plan” anyway.

As insane as it is, the MSM will be asking why President Trump chickened out? Was it just because Tarzan Joe annihilated him in round one, or did Putin give the order?

This is clearly capitulation on the part of the Dem’s and Biden. The voting public can see right through this. The stray independent voter was just swung over to the Trump side.

Now Nan is trying to assure the public that should Biden win..they’ll have a commission that can easily remove him and promptly place Harris in the office.

The think the voters are absolutely stupid don’t they.

The thing is that the voting public will hear that Trump backed out, but they won’t be reading press releases such as the one here. Very few people pay much attention to press releases.

Are you kidding? Biden looks and acts like a cadaver, and you are trolling this shit about Trump needing to recover?
