Breaking : Commission on Presidential Debates : Next debate will be totally Virtual

Link to tweet

NEWS: As Trump battles coronavirus and flouts isolation, the Commission on Presidential Debates announces next week's debate will be VIRTUAL.
Trump & Biden will appear "from separate remote locations"

Want to bet Trump doesn't want to travel...........coz if he was well enough, trust me, he'd be out there.

But I still think Trump will bail. He’ll either do it in protest of the format or be too sick and have to admit it.

No doubt in my mind drumpf would use an in person event to try and murder Biden with the virus. Should be remote and moderators should have control of the mics.

But it will be easy to control time limits and whose turn it is to talk. Which is why Trump won't go for it.
