Since When Do You U.S. Presidents

[itcfish]

Debate foreign leaders? I don't remember that ever happening. Please correct me if I am wrong.

1. AFAIK, they don't. They will meet with them, usually after preliminary meetings

of diplomats, and there are likely to be (usually polite) disagreements, but public debates don't happen.

2. Nixon vs. Khrushchev, but that's as close as we've come

to that sort of thing. I think most Presidents would have viewed it as a colossal waste of time.

3. I'm not so sure. I trust Biden and I trust the people around him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have

voted for him. We've come a long way from the Cold War days of Nixon and Khrushchev. Biden is a steady guy and he is more aware than us, with advisors we trust. Let's see what he does.

4. I think he'll laugh at this crazy suggestion

[Dagstead Bumwood]

7. Agreedl.

No way it happens.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

5. Well, he may view it differently than past Presidents and decided to debate him.

But, if I had to bet the mortgage payment, there's no way it happens. Guess we'll see.

6. Well, there may be things we aren't aware of. I'm in favor of letting this thing play out. If Trump

were to do it, we'd KNOW it was a scam on the American people...

8. It would start with him wanting to host it at one of his crap golf courses

and the grift would just grow from there.

Indeed, Putin has never debated anybody. He probably doesn't have a clue how to do so, while Biden has debated so many times. Biden should happily accept Putin's challenge. Putin might find it difficult to explain house-bombings 1999, Chechnya repression, wars, murders, etc.

10. Sorry, this just pisses me off

The purpose of a political debate is to help me to decide who I should support.

In the case of Biden versus Putin, there is no question that I already know who I support.

Anyone that supports this should be asked why they have any doubt about where their loyalties lie.

Any Republican that suggests that Biden should accept this debate (or worse suggest that Biden is afraid or isn't up to it) should have his ass handed to him with some form of this question.

11. Separate and aside from that

Why would we give Putin the exposure to spout propaganda in a high profile arena that simply elevates his message

[lark]

12. Never!

It was just a punk move by PUtin to try and dis Biden. Swing and a miss.

[CTyankee]

13. Could be. But what amazes me here on this thread is our apparent concern that Biden doesn't

have enough sense to even consider this. C'mon, Dems, we got the right guy in the White House. Let's not second guess him. I trust Joe Biden to do the right thing for this country. That doesn't mean I'm not going to have my right to raise concerns. But here, I say, let's see how this plays out. Give the guy a little more credit...
