No more debates. Trump doesn’t need it. He’s got his rallies. Slow Joe doesn’t.

Folks, when they change debate rules like this, it will not help Trump. Remember, Bob Dole tweeted his concern that none of the Republicans on the committee were pro-Trump.

They also plan to:

have “Vote Joe Biden” run across the bottom the screen;

mute Trump’s microphone if he brings up Hunter; and

end the debate if Trump confuses poor ole Joe.

2 minutes? Who TF is intent on turning matters of such import into mere sound bytes?

I actually care more that the subject of the last debate was supposed to be foreign policy. Joe would have been toast so now we get arg.. climate change.

Not a word about immigration or walls this year. Winning

Obvious, they are doing all they can to get Trump to cancel the debate.

The fake moderator will talk over Trump’s time and let Criminal Joe filibuster.

If Trump gets subservient to that commission, I’m gonna be questioning his sanity.

What would you think if Trump walked out of the debate and held a rally outside?

Seems to me the Commission wants to goad President Trump into backing out of this final debate. Will they mute Trump’s mike if he brings up the Biden Crime Family scandal? That subject isn’t on the list to be discussed after all.

The moderator has the task to interrupt Trump on a constant basis while letting Biden speak freely.
