At 9:00 a.m. Sunday morning, Joe Biden’s elder-abusing handlers called a “lid.” So, what’s new, you ask? Well, the “lid” is going to last until the final debate, scheduled for Thursday, October 22.
That’s right: The Democrat Party’s Unfrozen Caveman Candidate, plagued by dementia and scandal, is currently in the midst of a four-day “lid” just two weeks away from Election Day.
It’s the campaign that never was.
Meanwhile, while Creepy Uncle McWifeMolester was holed up in his basement hooked up to his handy IV, President Donald Trump campaigned in Nevada and California, where he drew massive crowds like this one just for driving down the street:
That’s in California, folks, the state in which Biden supposedly leads President Trump by 34 points in the media-sponsored polls. But you’re expected to believe without critical thought or comment that the man who draws crowds like this one everywhere he goes in this country is losing to the guy who regularly speaks to empty parking lots and junior high gymnasiums.
Yeah, that’s not happening.
Meanwhile, this is the caliber of person Quid Pro China Joe is sending out to represent him on the airwaves. – Watch as Fox News’s Leland Vittert, a rank Trump-hating liberal, eviscerates Biden surrogate Jenna Arnold about the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop on Sunday:
And there you have the real reason why Biden is going to spend the next four days hiding in his basement: His campaign has no earthly idea what to say about the graft and corruption already reported by the New York Post and Fox News, and Biden’s people know there is much, much more to come from that apparent treasure trove of depravity and crime.
Even worse, Biden’s corrupt toadies in the mainstream news media are also at a loss about how to defend their man on this, and have now decided to simply try to change the subject back to fear porn about the China Virus. Yes, friends, we are back to all China Virus all the time in our national and local news casts, with the focus being on a rising level of new “cases” because the death rate just keeps dropping, a fact that most Americans would applaud but the media hates because it is inconvenient to their preferred narrative.
If you believe that sudden, coordinated shift in focus by every media outlet in America is just the natural result of good news work, you may be extremely naïve. Perhaps fatally so.
All of which finally brings me to the point of this piece, which is that the President must boycott Thursday’s last debate. He must do this for several reasons:
First, the playing field for this debate is stacked against him to the point of abject absurdity. The “moderator,” NBC White House fake reporter Kristen Welker, is a lifelong Democrat whose parents have given tens of thousands of dollars to the Biden/Obama campaigns. She is one of the most ridiculously hostile and vapid members of the White House press corps, and the President should not legitimize her as a professional by allowing her to interrogate him and constantly interrupt him on Thursday.
The White House press corps should be abandoned and banned from the White House grounds as the enemies of the people that they are, not treated as if they were actual journalists.
Second, Welker’s chosen topics for this debate read like they were written for her by the Biden/Harris Harris/Biden campaign, which they probably were, come to think of it. Not a single question about the economy? Nothing on immigration? Nothing on the historic outbreak of Trump-brokered Middle East peace deals that have now seen him receive three Nobel Peace Prize nominations?
But Welker does plan to spend 10-15 minutes on “Climate Change” so she can pontificate about ‘science’ and stuff. Even worse, you know she will not spend one second demanding that Biden explain the influence racket he and his son were running out of the U.S. Naval Observatory while serving as Vice President.
Again, this approach is not something President Trump or any Republican should spend a single moment legitimizing with his presence.
Finally, the Commission on Presidential Debates needs to be blown up into a million pieces and scattered to the winds, and that has never been more obvious than it has become this year. The uniformly anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-Republican selections of “moderators” for this year’s debates is not really anything new, but the intensity of their obvious bias and hatred has risen to new heights.
Think about it: the Commission was so focused on tilting the playing field against the sitting POTUS that it selected one moderator who is actually a former intern for Biden. That moderator, C-Span’s Steve Scully, was so biased and dishonest that he literally disqualified himself and was suspended from his job for publicly lying to the country about his efforts to tilt the second debate.
Chris Wallace was so openly hostile to the President during the first debate that he actually spent more time debating Trump than Biden did. And now, President Trump is expected to just show up on Thursday and pretend that the Commission’s third selected Democrat activist, Welker, is somehow legitimate?
No. No, Mr. President, you must not do this. This farce, this DC Swamp Kabuki Theater pretense must come to an end. The feckless, useless Republican National Committee has allowed it to exist and demean its candidates for far, far too long.
This process must be destroyed for the good of this country, and if Donald Trump won’t do what is needed to achieve that goal, then who ever will?
The Commission on Presidential Debates must be destroyed. The time to do it is now. Just schedule a rally in Minnesota or Wisconsin or Pennsylvania for Thursday night and stop pretending any of this is legitimate.
Enough of this nonsense.
That is all.
Biden won’t show up because Trump will hit him with his and Humpers selling out the country for millions. Like the Clintons also did.
Trump’s a big boy. He’ll handle them
I know people who think Trump “ran away” from the second debate when it became virtual. Biden was ready, rested, and rarin’ to go for that second debate, but Trump “chickened out”.
That’s the narrative that some people adopted.
Electing to skip the third debate doesn’t seem smart.
For the life of me, I will NEVER understand how the RNC can ALLOW these dem moderators to abuse their candidate again and again and again.
WHO agrees to this? Why no Conservative moderator??!! EVER?????!!!!!
“Trump’s a big boy. He’ll handle them”
Agree. It’s another chance for him to make the media look bad, and also Biden.
I'm pretty sure that the GOP-e doesn't like Trump all that much, either.
GOP-e: the same people who mostly sat on their hands while Lerner’s IRS ran roughshod on conservative groups.
That is what I cannot believe. The year 2020 and still always a registered democrat moderator. The opposition running a debate is an absolute joke. A setup every time. And you know that Joe isngetting every question and gameplan.
Guarantee if trump asks bidet one question his mic gets silenced and screen goes blank. He needs to come up with a visual prop.
I hear, and agree, with what you are saying. However, his not attending this debate would become a hot bed of ridicule from the anti Trump media forces. At the debate he should use every opportunity to not address the loaded topics presented to him but instead talk about the Biden scandals and other statements he has made about taxes, fracking, gun control etc.
The moderator be damned as he must ignore her repeated interruptions. Make this debate about her and Biden. He does’t have to just stand there and get the crap beat out of him. If he stands up for what’s right he will be shown to a strong individual who is not going to allow these slanted people to badger him.
I don’t think Trump should debate a suspected felon.
The author forgets that the candidates rarely stay “on topic” for these questions. If I were Trump, I would show up at the debate and each time is was my turn to answer one of the idiotic questions, I would completely ignore the topic and spend my time allotted reading the emails from Hunter Biden’s operations with the Chinese or Russian political “influencers”.
Wonder why this FARCE is still ongoing. Who is promoting it? They are no more informative than the NYT on the outhouse shelf. Rediculous BS.
“Yes, friends, we are back to all China Virus all the time in our national and local news casts...”
I just read about someone who thought CoVid-19 was a hoax and died a horrible death from it and his last words were that he should have taken the Democrats’ warnings seriously, worn a mask and stayed locked down.
In fact I’ve been reading variations of that story over and over again lately, and expect to keep seeing it right up until Nov 3.
Are they calling lids so that Biden can make appearances without Trump supporters showing up?!
“Are they calling lids so that Biden can make appearances without Trump supporters showing up?!”
Probably so he can make appearances without the press asking questions. I believe lids are specifically related to the press. (I am not positive.) That leaves him free to stand at a podium, drool, and make a fool of himself — and then walk away.
“The Commission on Presidential Debates must be destroyed” Yes.
“The time to do it is now.” No, too late. The time to do it was when the moderators were announced. Not showing up would be a big mistake. Now, the next best time to squash the commission will be 2024. Announce early in the election season that we want debates, but not orchestrated by the commission. There are ample examples to list to explain why the commission is unacceptable.
It is because the GOP wants Trump gone ....everyone in the swamp want Trump gone...
Trump is the last man standing..
Art of the Deal.....Bad press can be good if people see you have been treated unfairly and you turn out to be right
Those people's minds will never be changed anyway.
