A shame, but not a surprise.

Does the President's staff have
any say in setting up these debates?

I couldn’t believe what I read about those in control of debates.

Basically a wing of the far left dem faction.

I may be in the minority, but I don’t see a lot to gain from doing this debate and a little to lose by doing it.

We’re back up to 49 percent approval on Rasmussen after dropping to as low as 44 after the debate.

I’d walk away.

Do another town hall

Microphones being shut off?? It’s an absolute insult to a POTUS to do this.

But it fits a totalitarian regime.

Yep, I am betting she does a Candy Crowley and corrects and admonishes Trump when he brings up the Hunter Biden laptop emails.

Won’t be necessary this time. In 2016 the moderators leaked questions to the democrat candidate, in 2020 the democrat party is telling the moderator what questions they will ask.

Indeed, cannot understand why they didn’t insist that someone like Lou Dobbs or Maria Bartiromo moderate at least one of the debates!!!

I don’t see the big deal about letting someone know in advance what you want to talk about. It is common enough that I’ve seen some people get upset when the interviewer strayed off topic.

Biden already has all of his debate questions and responses. He is in his basement rehearsing now. Every question for Joe will be a softball.

No. Although Trump's campaign manager is now taking sarcastic shots at them about getting Biden's staff's approval for their changes. Trump should just walk away.

Trump should not show up. This is a farce and he will be sucker-punched the entire so-called debate.

Of course Biden has all the questions from her.

I just watched the clip. It could not have been any clearer. She tipped them off.

This isn’t anything. Every reporter worth their salt goes over the topic of the impending conversation with their guest. It makes for better TV. This isn’t a situation in which a reporter would go for a ‘gotcha’ type question anyway. Move along.
