Who didn’t see this coming?

Trump needs someone in the room with Joe. So many ways to cheat — somebody needs to keep an eye on him.

Screw these people.

Withdraw from this and set up your own debate.

So biden can cheat and the un impartial debate moderator can shut off trump when ever he or she likes, nothing like control right? If it doesnt go as well as trump likes it to he should have a rebuttal right after it

Trump should decline to participate..... They agreed to three in-person debates. He can do an address/tutorial on the issues the day before the “virtual debate” as a more effective outreach and challenge Biden to do the same tutorial on his position on issues.

They could have had it at the site and put each candidate in a separate room at least that could be surveyed

No..the only way PDJT should agree to this is if Steve Cortes is allowed to be in the room with Biden and can hit him with a 2x4 every time he catches him cheating.

Hmmmm..... this might benefit Trump. Biden has not done well with virtual events as of late.... interesting development.

Personally, I think these debates are silly. People already know how they’re going to vote, and it’s highly doubtful that either candidate’s “performance” will sway anyone to one side or the other. So what’s the purpose for having them in the first place?

The Trump campaign should insist that each campaign have an observer at the other candidate’s location to ensure there are no teleprompters, cue cards, staffers off camera feeding Biden information, etc.
