So the commission should do the town hall with Biden.

Trump can join if he follows the rules. Time to call the bully's bluff.

Why would they give him the benefit of the doubt when there is no doubt, he will interrupt. Even the more polished Mike Pence could not abide by this simple rule. Trump, if he attends, will interrupt the swearing in at Biden's inaugural, "What about Hillary's emails?!"

Biden shows up (virtually). Question asked. Go to Biden. Then go to ...empty chair.

Back and forth for the full debate time. Biden, empty chair. Biden, empty chair.

Let tRumpolini contemplate that scenario.

He’ll be there if he has to be stuffed.

I can’t wait.
