ABC giving drumpf 90 minutes in prime time unopposed

[Takket]

Where is the equal time for Biden??? This is unconscionable!!! Was Biden even invited to this???? Since when do the networks give only ONE candidate 90 minutes in prime time!!!!

1. Steph will protect Red Don, he'll have to seeing Red Don will bull shit to high heaven & NOT answer

... no matter how direct.

I can't see how this works out good for Red Don if George isn't going to protect him

[agingdem]

12. If Steph has a smidge of integrity

he'll allow trump 90 seconds of self-deprecating back-slapping and then give him enough rope to choke himself to death..make him defend the indefensible and follow up with more pointed questions...none of this will actually happen... Trump sells, access to Trump sells...

[uponit7771]

14. +1, Steph already asked one of Trump's spokesperson why didn't Biden respond to covid .

... or something along the lines of that it was a disgusting question I was floored that Stephanopoulos would say anything like that as if Biden had the same information Trump did

2. Biden will be doing a town hall on CNN on Thusrsday. I don't think giving trump 90 minutes of

questioning on a non fox outlet is going to particularly help him , especially with his loose mouth

[agingdem]

7. 90 minutes of non-sensical garbage

he riffs...accuses insults threatens pontificates and self-praises...not too worried about equal time..

[still_one]

9. +++

[captain queeg]

10. 90 minutes of gibberish that couldn't really fill 5 minutes of substance

[PatSeg]

13. And from ABC

"ABC News offered to host a similar town hall with Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden, but ABC News and the campaign were not able to find a mutually agreeable date."

Meanwhile, as you said, Joe will be doing a town hall on CNN this week and I agree, this town hall probably won't be to Trump's advantage.

[agingdem]

15. stop...this isn't Biden's first rodeo

we trust our candidate...

[still_one]

17. Stop what? I am just posting that Joe will being doing a Town Hall on CNN on Thursday.

[agingdem]

22. my apology... thought you were referring to Biden

I go into mommy-mode...protect and defend and throw my body between our two guys and Trump garbage..

[still_one]

24. No problem, it is easy to misinterpret among different post. It has happened more than once to

me also

[Mike 03]

23. +1

[Sherman A1]

3. CNN is doing a town hall with Biden this week

I would expect that ABC will do something similar later on as well.

[Trumpocalypse]

5. ABC has nothing on their schedule with Biden

I checked for the next two weeks. So they are really just doing a 90 minute campaign ad for Trump.

FYI Yang dropped out months ago.

[Sherman A1]

8. They may have something in the works or

They may not, hard to say.

FYI - I know who’s running and who has suspended their campaigns.

[Trumpocalypse]

18. Maybe/Maybe not

I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt. They don't deserve it.

FYI - The nominee is Biden. Maybe you should consider getting on board with that instead of continuing to promote someone who dropped out months ago.

[Sherman A1]

19. Perhaps your concerns would be better addressed

By emailing ABC rather than posting on a discussion board.

I will be voting for Biden as he is the nominee as I stated my times during the primary process. That does not exclude me from having a different preference.

If it bothers you as to whom I prefer please put me on your ignore list.

[Trumpocalypse]

21. Who said they I haven't

And I can post what I want on a public message board.

I'm not defending a multi-billion dollar company with a history of supporting right wing causes and candidates nor am I promoting a primary candidate who dropped out months ago.

[Sherman A1]

30. As you eloquently stated

And I can post what I want on a public message board.

[Trumpocalypse]

31. Sure you can

But maybe you should consider supporting the party's nominee instead of someone who dropped out months ago.

[Sherman A1]

36. My making a preference

which is clearly stated in the accompanying text does not indicate a lack of support for the nominee no matter how many words you try to put in my mouth.


But nice try there.....

[Trumpocalypse]

39. Actually it does

It says that you’re dissatisfied with the nominee.

[Sherman A1]

40. Again, You seem to enjoy putting words in the

Mouths of others. Wonder why that would be?

[Trumpocalypse]

41. No need to be so defensive

But it is the message it sends out.

[Sherman A1]

42. Not defensive at all, however it is

apparent you are the only one receiving that message as you are the only one to have commented on it since I placed it there in February.

If it bothers you I again suggest you put me on your ignore list and save yourself the trouble of looking at my posts.

[Trumpocalypse]

43. February???

Yang dropped out on February 11th. Talk about not accepting reality.

[Sherman A1]

44. Tell you what

You win the internet today. I’m done with your inabilities to grasp my point and criticism.

[Trumpocalypse]

45. Sorry

But your point seems to be to not accept the verdict of Democratic voters and support the nominee of the Democratic party.

FYI:

[no_hypocrisy]

4. My issue is the make-up of the audience.

How many Trump supporters, non-Trumpers, and truly Undecideds.

Will the Trump supporters sit quietly in their seats and allow others to cross-examine their Jesus?

[GoCubsGo]

6. May their ratings bottom out over this.

I won't be going anywhere near ABC tonight, and neither will any of my friends and family. I hope the Biden campaign, the Lincoln Project, Meidas Touch, Vote Vets, and every local Democratic candidate has bought out the ad time.

[brooklynite]

11. Equal time was offered to Biden...

[dsc]

25. well supposedly they couldn't come to an agreement as to date

that can mean an awful lot. Did they offer him 3 am on Sunday morning? 11 am on Saturday? We don't know.

[onenote]

26. You must think the Biden campaign is incompetent

If you think they were offered 3 am on Sunday morning )or some other unreasonable time slot) and didn’t go public with that information in order to pressure ABC.

[dsc]

27. I am exaggerating

but my point is, that had they really wanted Biden they could have gotten him.

[onenote]

28. And if Biden really wanted to do it

He could have publicly pressured ABC to make a time available that works for him.

I suspect there is more going on here than what folks are assuming

[mcar]

16. ...

[GoCubsGo]

32. Not everyone has cable.

Or, will go out of their way to find CNN on the Internet to watch this. Anyone with a TV can get ABC.

[mcar]

33. I guess we are doomed, then

[GoCubsGo]

34. If you say so.

[USALiberal]

20. Do more research! nt

[ellie]

29. No worries!

Trump will make a fool out of himself, like always.

[Demovictory9]

35. Trump doesn't do himself any favors with TV time. he's too batshit crazy

[ananda]

37. That was my thinking.

Let him blather.

[tman]

46. That's what they said in 2016

Just sayin'

[sarcasmo]

38. Same as Clinton V Trump.

[BannonsLiver]

47. I hope 100 million people are watching

It’s a disaster for him. It’s also instructive for the Biden campaign in debate prep.
