Last I saw, they only said they were going to look into optimizing the format.
Geez, it seems Trump throws a whiny tantrum at the drop of a pin.
He only reaffirms how unfit and unstable he is.

It's trump's own damn fault he can't behave responsibly.

Joe should take the debate stage regardless ... and bring a moldy orange.

Kamala can bring a sock puppet.

Really, Trump has nothing else.

And that's only because I'm thinking that that would not be helpful to Biden. That said, I think having the story about it out there is helpful.

Trump in a locked soundproof booth...mic on when a question is asked...mic off when Biden is taking questions...I do want a split screen...I want to watch the orange imbecile go apeshit crazy when he's muted....

crap excuses so far...debate enhancing drugs...Biden given the questions before the debate...Trump's questions were tougher than Biden's..format anti-trump...not fair...

Just like the injecting bleach comment - a few days later he finally got it. About how bad that was.

Please, please, please let that happen. He knows the next debate is a town hall format with citizens, not a journalist, asking the questions so he can talk over and gish-gallop them like he did with Chris Wallace.

At this point I’d say fine let him cancel. I wouldn’t want to see any more of the lying POS and I might be tempted to watch another debate. Just forget about it. Americans have seen enough.

The winning never materialized. Biden could appear on the debate stage unchallenged and riff without interruption, essentially having 90 minutes of free air time.

Of course they weren't going to agree to having the mikes cut. drumpfs ego would never allow that, nor would his hate for others. He wants to bully and knows that's a feature with uneducated white men who make up his base. Without the possibility of non-stop bullying, he won't show. Now maybe he will do the town hall because the format is different, but I doubt it. He knows that format greatly benefits Biden over him because he has no empathy and just wants to put out self-aggrandizing lies. He wants to yell and scream at every Biden answer so no one can hear the much better plans. If the election is based on no information, he does better and he knows it. PUtin told him so during their long talks this summer, I bet.
