“I hear you’re free on Wednesdays.” I truly laughed out loud! So good.

Dark Brandon strikes again.

They threw Brandon out as an insult, he caught it as a compliment and ran with it. 👍

Now if only President Biden will keep this type of messaging up! Seems there are some in our party that are alittle too complacent rn. It's far past time to seriously take the gloves off!

I think it’ll really take off soon. I took the gloves off in 2016 😊

I hope so! President Biden is an old school politician to his core. He believes in the decorum for lack of a better word, in politics. But he's not dumb either and I believe realizes what's at stake here. I did the same in '16 too. I knew what we were up against.

I think that President Biden should condition the debates on trump admitting that he lost the 2020 election.

Yeah I think Biden is calling his bluff. Trump won’t debate unless it’s at one of his rallies. And even then he wouldn’t show up 😂

He's responded and agreed to two on CNN. And MSNBC wants a debate there and suggested one on Telemundo. It's going to be nuts trying to control him on any of them.

He can't be controlled! That been proven ever since he was a child--and he still acts like a 2 year old with his temper tantrums. As any parent knows, the way to deal with temper tantrums is not to acknowledge them, remain calm, and maybe a time out in a corner facing a blank wall. Uh, wouldn't a jail cell serve that purpose for Trump?

That’s the point, Michelle! Put him on live TV without a script and demonstrate he is “unfit” to voters!

Michelle Ponkutcat 060's avatar

As far as I know, and I'm admitting limited knowledge here, but he's never used, or followed a script; that's what his handlers are so afraid of--his inherent desire to deviate from the norm and show himself to be so much more superior! Just like others throughout history who have had the same goal, with devasting results in the long run, btw. Trump will be no different. Except he is taking an entire political party down the slippery slope with him. Such things have happened before in our political history so this is nothing new. It signals to the younger generation that maybe it's time for a change from what has been. All the more reason to vote!

A jail cell would be divine but until that happens, remember “Justice delayed is Justice denied” and so far he appeals every decision brought against him.

We can turn that tide--because eventually he may run out of money -- and I mean cold hard cash--to pay his lawyers. These people are only in it for the "name" they make and bottom line is the cash to be paid --these aren't pro bono defense lawyers, btw!!

Will any moderator ask President Biden how he expects to win election when he has no pending felony charges or has lost civil sexual assault cases or defrauded charities or filed bankruptcy numerous times?

According to POLLS! these aren’t of importance to electorate ?

Have we lost our collective minds that this is not relevant?

So how would any policy issues matter?

Maybe I just have higher standards required for President of my Nation

At least the commander and chief of military should meet the military’s code of conduct

And what about the President upholding and defending the Oath of Office they take? Did Trump even understand what he said at the time? Every grade schooler learns the importance of this oath in basic civic classes. Or was Trump absent that day to work on his golf swing?

Megan Prosser's avatar

Agreed! But why is so much national coverage leading with the fact that Biden is calling for terms, against the debate commission? I consider myself even handed, but anyone else feel like the Washington Post and the Times bend over backwards to not offend MAGA?

Trump made it clear he would never debate under commission ever again.

Megan Prosser's avatar

So why does Biden need to specify terms at all. The coverage should be about Biden calling Trump to debate.

Expand full comment
Scott Dworkin's avatar

I think it’s so Trump doesn’t get to really specify those terms. Also makes it so Biden’s terms are laid out and clear. But you’re right it should not be the focus of reporting.

Thank you for your words!

I love Biden saying “...I hear you are free on Wednesdays...”

My only concern is “Mike Management”..;

The moderators must have the ability to mute the mikes. TYrump, the playground bully, just screams over the other persons words...; In fact: ideally they should be in isolation booths so if TYrump continues to scream past his allotted time even with the Mike off, we won’t be able to hear him. 🤣

Scott Dworkin's avatar

That’s part of what Biden wants in debates

Michelle Ponkutcat 060's avatar

Yes, I too am worried about mike management. Last debates are a testament to how Trump over shouted his opponents and went past his allotted time, again and again. I fear that people won't tune into the debates this time around because they remember the last ones. The moderators are to be commended for trying to keep things on an even keel, but they need to be more forceful in enforcing the rules. Mute the Mike and maybe even block out the screen on the person going over the limit if that's even possible.

“O'Malley Dillon said microphones for the candidates should be active only when it is his turn to speak.” So looks like that will happen

Maybe we need a new Federal law that requires that all persons running for the most powerful job in the world MUST participate in a debate at least one time (two would be better, especially in the fact-checking area) and make sure that no person from Fox News, OAN, or Newmax (min) are allowed to moderate. I suggest that a real journalist from PBS would make a fair moderator. If it’s not [going to be] fair and impartial, then the idea should be scrapped.

I agree Jerry! It’s gotta be a serious debate. And cut Trump’s stupid mic off so he can’t blab on. No need for a crowd either as this isn’t America’s Got Talent. Just my thoughts

Remember when Trump brought the women who accused Clinton to the debate? Now Trump brings his surrogates to the court.

I’d like to see some of the Trump accusers in the audience for this debate. Stormy Daniels, E Jean Carroll, the Capitol police, boxes of documents, Latia James, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis.
