@HKrassenstein
BREAKING: The Debate commission will let Biden participate in the next debate by himself, since the weak, cowardly Trump refuses to show up.

Joe Biden isn't afraid to speak to the American people. Donald Trump is!

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. Damn, I hope this is true.

[soothsayer]

16. Me too! She's usually right but I wish she'd say where she heard it

Usually on the teevee

[The Magistrate]

25. Indeed, Sir

Confirmation would be nice.

[soothsayer]

28. Hmm, Joe himself is not sure what he'll do if drumpf doesn't participate

According to interview this morning getting on a plane

[DownriverDem]

41. Perfect

Let Biden spend the 1 1/2 hours speaking to the American people.

[Sherman A1]

81. Believe it when I see it

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. Go for it, Joe....

Joe cannot buy such advertising. He can be asked questions and respond uninterrupted.

[Jack from Charlotte]

45. Biden should not do this, IMO.....

There's potential for error.....

I see this mistake all the time in sports.

When all you have to do in order to win is........ nothing.... then do nothing.

There's a chance of error, and increased odds of being exposed to virus.
Re error.... why risk anything at this point? What if Joe just does nothing and goes nowhere. What's the downside? He can comment on anything over the next 20 some days from wherever. He is already the winner on this issue if Fatass has opted out. Joe looks healthy and willing already. Don't try to be more heroic by being grilled, needlessly.
Also, the moderator is going to try and make a name for self or do anything to trip him up in order to show.....impartiality. Stop now, Joe. You won.

And what if there's some rancid, diseased republican snot on Joe's podium or chair?

He should just stay home or safe and run out the clock. 26 days..... do not try to run up the score.

[Pepsidog]

59. I agree.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

76. If this is done virtually, no danger is posed of exposure.

Trump refuses to participate if the debate is virtual because he knows he would be cut off. And that would be appropriate.

[ego_nation]

78. I might agree if the format was the same as the first debate.

However, with this being a town hall format, I think Biden taking questions from citizens with Trump being a no-show will benefit him greatly.

[napi21]

88. I disagree with you. I would never worry about Joe at the debate if DT were there, and the risk

of the unexpected would be much higher than if he's alone. He couldn't buy advertising like this with any amount of money.

[no_hypocrisy]

3. If you don't have at least two participants, is it still a "debate" or

is it Question-and-Answer? Or an interview?

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

57. The "debates" we have are not really debates as it is.

So, yeah, why not?

[OMGWTF]

71. It was to be a Town Hall with questions from the audience.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

77. Joe's Town Hall in Miami was done with precautions in mind.

So can this debate if he is the only one participating and precautions are taken in context.

[AkFemDem]

4. Winning :-D

[TheBlackAdder]

73. When I was a kid, we used to say: Chick Chick Chickarina Soup!

.



.

[mokawanis]

5. Because trump's entire strategy was to interrupt and try to antagonize Biden

Mrs. Krassenstein is right - trump's weak and he's a coward.

[Botany]

10. And if Trump interrupts they can just kill his mic.

n/t

[wnylib]

27. Yes, but not quite the entire strategy.

Don't forget the opportunity to spread covid infections.

[Lonestarblue]

68. I think that was a primary goal at the first debate.

The Trump team knew of their infection and hoped to spread it to someone on Biden’s team so Joe might get it.

[mahina]

85. I think so too.

Why in the world else wouldn’t the doctors tell us when he last tested?

And the family was in on it.

[Cha]

6. Biden's Earned It especially after the 1st Spectacle of BLOWHARD BLOWING IT..

trump can go Infect his Maggots while Biden speaks to the American People.

[Botany]

7. Trump might not be healthy enough for even a virtual debate ... or even breathing

He looked like shit yesterday.

[LisaL]

9. Except he claims he is going back to giving rallies.

NT

[Botany]

15. Trump might have died if hadn't gone to Walter Reed last Friday.

Heart palpitations
low O2 in his blood
fluid in the lungs (the reason he got the steroids) aka coronavirus induced pneumonia
103 F fever
cough
fatigue

If a normal person got those symptoms they might be dead or dying.

[LAS14]

30. Where did you get the info about the fever and fluid? All I heard about lungs...

... whas how they wouldn't release results of the test. And I never heard a specific about fever.

[Botany]

43. I saw the fever # last Friday or Saturday

And the fluid in the lungs I guessed because of the non denial denial about fluids being in
his lungs by his Dr and that they put him steroids because they shut down the immune
system. The thing that kills you in most cases from C-19 is pneumonia which is the
result of the build up of fluids in the lungs because your immune system is flooding the
infected areas (the lungs) with fluids ... pus and lymph. And the lower O2 which they
have admitted to is also a symptom of pneumonia too.

A really good video.

[liberalla]

51. Bookmarking to view later! Thanks!

[NoRoadUntravelled]

24. Super-spreader in Chief won't be so enthusiastic when the steroids wear off.

Right now he thinks he's invincible and doesn't understand it's the medication. Cuz, you know.....science.

[Celerity]

40. ...

[NoRoadUntravelled]

89. This is perfect.

[Codeine]

46. They'll never wear off

because he’s never gonna stop taking them. That’s a man who likes his high.

[Captain Zero]

50. He will be a real mess when it's taper off time

For the steroids. I know he is a mess anyway, but just tune in to see him tapering off of steroids. In fact press should ask when Dr. Expects to start his withdrawal from steroids.

[getagrip_already]

62. I think they already said that.....

They said he was going to get his last dose of remdisver (sp?) in the wh. They also said something about the steroids but I don't recall. Both were on their last doses though. At least according to what I remember.

I'm sure it's easy to find. It was announced the day he was going to head back to wh.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

90. Good idea. The press should ask about when he'll be tapering off.

That way we can all prepare ourselves for even more lunacy.

[getagrip_already]

60. he will just keep taking them.....

Once you get hooked, it's hard to get off the ride. And who is going to refuse him?

[NoRoadUntravelled]

91. You have a point. Is there anyone left who says no to him?

[FakeNoose]

8. It's the town hall format, not like the last one

Our Joe will handle it well ... let Chump sit home and pout.

[Johnny2X2X]

11. This would be awesome!

Hold onto the network time slot and make it happen.

[NewJeffCT]

12. Hire Alec Baldwin to play Trump

in the debate - or Meryl Streep, Rosie O'Donnell or somebody.

And, then have Sarah Cooper give us a summary aftewards.

[Cozmo]

35. THAT'S A FABULOUS IDEA

Maybe he can do this while in his deathbed. Who can we have in the audience?

[MerryBlooms]

58. Beaut.

[Iliyah]

13. K & R . . .

[vlyons]

14. If true, I'll bet Trump never saw this one coming

given that he is incapable of considering the consequences of his actions

[steampunk]

17. They should prop a life-size Coronavirus in Trumps chair.

[marble falls]

94. How about larger than life-size so we can see it????

[MuseRider]

18. This is good news.

Biden will have all the time he needs to answer in the manner he wants to without interruption and likely longer time to fill out his answers. He will not be attacked, he will be relaxed and at ease as he is with people. This is like giving him tons and tons of votes. The "tough Trumper" voters are not coming along anyway so I really doubt they would have changed their minds by the debates, they will go to the rally. Trump will be talking to his voters, Biden will be talking to the people.

[blaze]

19. Hahahahahaha!!!!! This will drive drumph nucking futs!!

I'll bet he's raging right about now... might change his mind.

This is delicious!

[ananda]

21. Yum yum

[Hugin]

20. It's the least the IOKIYAR Commission can do at this point.

They claim to be non-partisan. It's time for them to put-up or shut-up after the nation witnessed the unfiltered Trump/Pence in near realtime.

[Liberal In Texas]

22. More people will see that than a stupid live covid rally. n/t

[chriscan64]

23. Trump will try to call in like it's Fox & Pals

"Please hold sir..."

[jayfish]

42. You Bring uo an Interesting Point.

Trump can call in to Fox for 50 minutes which is, in effect, a virtual interview but he can't do the same for the debate?

[durablend]

63. "The number you have dialed is not in service"

[PubliusEnigma]

26. and Mr. Burns says "Exxxxcellent!!!!"

[Fiendish Thingy]

29. Fantastic news! Virtual town hall all to himself! Nt

[SheltieLover]

31. Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

Love it!

[onetexan]

33. Ditto!! We don't need to hear the Con's grating voice & lies. We just need President Biden!!

Go Joe!! You're our man, a REAL man!

[SheltieLover]

36. Absolutely!

[onenote]

72. Actually, they didn't.

Just because Amy Siskind says its so, doesn't make it so.

In fact, the head of the Debate Commission has said that they would not host a debate if both candidates aren't participating.

The OP should delete. And so should you.

[Javaman]

34. the orange murderer is going to shit a sub if this happens.

more over, since it's a debate and not a political speech, the orange murderer can't demand equal time.

1+ hour for Joe to freely answer questions uninterrupted. Talk about a gift. LOL

just show up the debate, orange murderer, you fucking coward.

[SheltieLover]

37. Yup!

[Baclava]

38. Hilarious! The sickly superspreader backed down, he chickened out, run away, run away!

[malaise]

39. Who wants to bet that the Killa Con tries to phone in

during the debate

[They_Live]

54. Or he'll have an Emergency "fireside chat"/rambling speech

immediately afterwards, complaining about how unfairly he, of all people, has been treated. The greatest crime in the history of the world!!!!11

[speaknow]

44. Joe wants to debate. Say Joe

That POS wants to debate you face to face,
with hopes to get you sick and even worse,
because he knows full well he's loosing. Joe
tell the public you wont debate him face to
face because you know what he's up to.

[Chakaconcarne]

47. Trump will change his mind....I would think.

He's been backed into a corner.... Look weak by not debating or look weak by not being able to break debate rules.

BTW, in a Fox news interview Trump said he won the second debate with Biden.

[Amaryllis]

80. He will want the attention he will get from debating, even if it's a terrible idea to do it.

[iluvtennis]

48. Make it So.

[C Moon]

49. Insert sound of fat, orange head exploding

[calimary]

52. The donald is SCAAAAAAAAAAAARED.

And gee, if he's not allowed to be rude, he doesn't want to play.

Well FINE then. DON'T play! Stay home. Or throw yourself an ego-bath party. I'd rather listen to Biden anyway, and watch him take questions - especially in a town hall format where he's connecting with individual people asking questions that matter to them.

Who needs YOU, donald? We're better off without you. And this will help with the imaging and visualization of BIDEN as our one, true, and uncontested leader.


Besides... we're all eventually gonna go on WITHOUT you anyway. Whether you like it or not. This just helps make sure it's sooner than later.

[Amaryllis]

53. Has this been verified? hard to believe.

[onenote]

66. No confirmation. Just tweets from folks claiming that this is the case.

[Orangepeel]

55. to me, this looks like it was supposed to be a joke

"joke" may be the wrong word, but satire doesn't fit either. I don't think it is really "breaking" news, as it isn't anywhere else.

It think it was a vehicle to point out trump's cowardice rather than a news scoop.

[Le Roi de Pot]

61. PAGING CLINT EASTWOOD ....PAGING CLINT EASTWOOD

Can we please borrow your your empty chair?

[malaise]

64. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

You win the thread

[onenote]

65. Still unconfirmed

Nothing on the Presidential Commission on Debates website and no reporting by any major media outlet.

[honest.abe]

67. This is false information.

Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr., co-chairman of the Commission on Presidential Debates, said the commission would not host a solo debate with just Biden if Trump doesn’t budge from his position.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/10/08/next-presidential-debate-held-remotely-due-trumps-covid-19/5920908002/

[BannonsLiver]

69. Ah thank you

The krassenstein Twitter is always full of shit when it comes to breaking news.

[crickets]

74. Thanks for the info, abe. nt

[BannonsLiver]

70. More Krasenstein bullshit

I can’t believe people fall for this unsourced nonsense. These people are just bozos sitting at home. They have no sources.

[TruckFump]

75. Orange Asshole had two choices...

...1. Accept the rule that the next debate will be virtual; or 2. Don't participate.

The Baby Whiner in Chief thought refusing to attend, stamping his feet and being petulant would get him his way.

LMAO...wrong!

[dlk]

79. Trump refused to do a remote debate because he has no game

If he can’t cheat, he won’t play.

[spike jones]

82. It was just announced that Trump will host the Rush Limbaugh show tomorrow.

[Sancho]

83. Maybe SNL will provide a stand-in?

[marble falls]

84. Dear Mr President ....

BWAAAAAA-HAAAAA-HAAAA-HA!

Joe needs to put an overstuffed orange upholstered easy chair on the stage with an orange long haired fake fur antimacassar on it.

[tritsofme]

86. Boris Johnson refused to attend a climate change debate, and they put an ice sculpture in his place.

CPD should get creative!

[TeamPooka]

87. Trump will give in now and participate

[SmartVoter22]

92. Let Alec Baldwin sit in for Trump

or...let anyone off the street put a suit on and play Trump.
Must have face spray painted Orange and wear a wig.
Should be able to speak in three word sentences.

Doesn't need to know anything about issues, or for thatmatter know much about anything.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

93. Letting Baldwin do it wouldn't be fair

Biden and the viewing public would be laughing to much!
