Donald Trump says he won't be participating in a virtual debate.
"I am not going to do a virtual debate," Trump tells Fox Business. "I am not going to waste my time on a virtual debate."
.........................
This is terrible excuse from him, its safe, clear. Why won't he do it?
Biden has said YES, if Trump doesn't turn up, then empty screen him.

(1,306 posts)1) Interrupt and be as obnoxious as possible whenever he feels like it
(cuz this makes him feel like a macho, dominant, alpha, he-man)
2) Menace and harass Joe Biden, like he did Hillary Clinton, by
wandering all over the stage and invading Biden's personal space.
You can't bully people effectively on ZOOM.

(10,836 posts)It's a good format for him and it's national exposure to drill down on the issues in the last days of the campaign.
Trump can sit home and pout.

(16,847 posts)is by making his opponent look bad. If he can badger Biden and talk over him and make him nervous, Trump will come off looking stronger and smarter to most of the ignorant public. Trump has no ideas and knows nothing, so his answers to the questions are going to be severely lacking next to Biden's. His performance, if he debates, will be seen as even worse than last time.

(33,167 posts)Typical.
I'm of two minds about this. Every time Trump opened his mouth at the first debate he 'shed' about 0.5% in the polls. Now, Joe Biden won't be exposed to the 'rona through that route.
At least it wasn't the Dems who pulled out.

(2,574 posts)He knows that infecting Joe with coronavirus is the only possible benefit he can get out of debating him.
In addition, he's terrified of debating Joe, if he can't interrupt and talk over Joe, and the Moderator. He knows that a virtual debate would end any and all possibility of anything even close to him being fairly elected. Beat so bad he couldn't pull off his plan to cheat
In a virtual debate, Joe would whup his worthless ass so thoroughly that it would prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, to even his most dedicated worshipers, that he is nothing but a weak, stupid, mean little lying schoolyard bully.
He's chicken!.

He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes Brave Sir Donald turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave Sir Donald

(259 posts)Don't let Trump off the hook. He needs the debate so bad. Stick it to him and watch him squirm. Don't give in Biden Team. Shut him out and run your own town hall.
