Karl Rove: Biden, Trump Debate Would Be ‘Most Important’ Since 1980
Breitbart ^ | 04/26/2024 | Pam Key

Former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove said Friday on Fox News Channel’s “The Story” that a debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden would be the most significant in decades.

When asked if there would be a debate earlier on the Howard Stern radio show, Biden said, “I am, somewhere. I don’t know when, but I am happy to debate him.”

Host Martha MacCallum asked, “Karl Rove how important is a debate?”

The country was 100% different electoral wise in 1980 than it is now.

Rove in 2004: "Rove, you Magnificent bastard!"

Rove in 2024: "Rove...you filthy bastard."

Biden’s handlers will never let him debate.

The DNC is extremely desperate.

No, they will not let him debate.

They know they have an incompetent fool on their hands.

> Biden’s handlers will never let him debate. <

Yeah, you’re probably right. But if Biden is far behind in the polls, his handlers might think it’s worth the risk if:

1. Biden is slipped all of the questions ahead of time. And...
2. Biden is allowed to wear an earpiece. And…
3. The debate is short, over before Biden’s drugs wear off.

I was going to add #4: “The moderator and the panelists must all be Democrat sympathizers.” But that would be a given. It happens in every debate.

If genuine Trump fans don’t like him. And most GOP viewers don’t care for him. And all Dems hate him.
Then who is Karl Rove’s core audience that causes the network to keep him on TV?

How stupid can Rove be? Biden is demented. A debate with him is a nonevent.

Trump skipped debates all throughout 2023, so Biden has something he can point to if he wants. I don’t know why anyone thinks Biden would “fear” a debate with Trump so much, gives me too much 2020 déjà vu where some were basically saying the same thing and Biden showed up and obviously didn’t tank his candidacy at the three debates that year.

This is actually brilliant. They bring in a Biden double...no telling how many besides Jim Carey they have right now. Then get someone like Kevin Spacey to play him. He just has to seem normal...and the left will swoon. Then the mainstream media can cover for him and all the satanic pedophiles who are destroying this country get another reprieve because they can use it as plausibility that the man could win reelection. Dear lord... it is time to bring your justice.

I’m sorry…Trump’s debate performance against Bidet the first time was awful.

Many FReepers agreed.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3889002/posts

Yea, I know….the moderator Wallace was in the tank for Bidet, Trump will get interrupted, blah blah blah.

But Trump wasn’t the fighter that time. He was a loud-mouth whiner who interrupted like Sean Hannity.

Trump’s achilles, aside from his HR/personnel skills, is his inability to learn from mistakes. I don’t know if he simply can’t take criticism or what, but he needs to be told to watch the tape from last time and have his errors identified.

He also needs to re-watch the Hillary debates. He KILLED those times.

Bidet, in general, gets doped up and riled up for Big Things. He becomes unhinged. Centrists are already on the fence.

Trump should be ready to rock. But he should adopt the rope-a-dope…exhaust the old man calmly…let Bidet ramble on aimlessly…make him feel he’s winning…then once he makes and error, drop him to the mat.

The only way Biden would dare to debate Trump is if he could secretly wear an earpiece like Hillary did in 2016.

One has to assume Xiden will live long enough to debate, I wouldn’t book the stage just yet.

Biden is going to get the questions weeks in advance.
Just like Hillary and Biden got them years ago.

Biden can play it off that way, but the difference between a primary debate and actually debating to see who becomes the leader of the free world is vast.

Biden will resign before he tries to go toe to toe with PDJT.

Remember when Rove was called Bush's brain?
