Joe Biden on Monday said he is open next week to debating President Trump, who tested positive for COVID-19 last week and was hospitalized over the weekend — if it is deemed safe to do so.

"If the scientists say that it's safe and the distances are safe, then I think that's fine," Biden told reporters before boarding his plane to campaign in Florida. "I'll do whatever the experts say is the appropriate thing to do."

Trump 2020 communications director Tim Murtaugh said Monday that Mr. Trump intends to debate on October 15.

Biden should reinstate attack ads.

[CincyDem]

1. He should take a page from Jamie Harrison and bring his own plexi-partition ! n/t

[Cha]

14. Absolutely! ETA.. and Kamala!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

31. And a Taser in the event the orange prick tries to get close.

[msongs]

2. trump is infested with a potentially fatal disease. any debate should be virtual from

separate locations

[sandensea]

3. +1

Cheeto - and his kleptocrat coterie - will no doubt try his darndest to infect Biden.

It's become his new campaign strategy.

[SunSeeker]

4. They should not be in the same room. This is nuts.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

5. Agreed.

No sane medical advisor can assure 100% safety in that scenario, so just don't do it!

[AZ8theist]

6. Isn't the next debate a town hall style?

Where the INFECTED TRAITOR will hover around the stage like something out of "The Walking Dead"????

Biden is crazy to participate in something that insane.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

7. Exactly!

We've seen it play out before.

[appalachiablue]

17. Trump should be rightfully caged for any event after his

foul threatening behavior

[greenjar_01]

13. Surely it's remote?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

15. All in-person, at this point.

Stupid! Don't do it, Biden!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/

[greenjar_01]

16. Good Lord!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

28. And we already know that moderators won't help.

While Trump hovers around Biden at the town hall, it will be like a parent yelling at a 4-year-old in a grocery store.

"Bad President! Stop that!"

[torius]

8. BUILD. A. WALL.

Two-inch thick Plexiglas oughta do it.

[JI7]

9. I think Trump wants to purposely infect Biden

[Buckeye_Democrat]

10. Killing Biden is probably his only chance.

Just sayin'.

[BlueStater]

11. I wouldn't do it.

He’s got nothing to prove from debating this idiot again and it’s not worth the risk of catching the virus when it spews out of his butthole-looking mouth.

[Cha]

12. lol.. I like the way he worded that.. if the "president"

isn't a Toxic, Fetid, Rancid Breath of COVID I'll debate him next week.

[still_one]

18. No more in person debates, only remote

[William Seger]

19. His entire team needs to avoid Trump's entire team, period

[still_one]

20. I am concerned about Kamala now

[Buckeye_Democrat]

22. Me too.

At least there's a plexiglass barrier, but I don't want to see Biden/Harris doing this nonsense anymore!

They have an obligation to stay healthy not just for themselves, but all of their supporters!

[still_one]

23. +++

[NorthOf270]

29. Knowing Pence he'll wear a full body condom anyway

Can't get close to a woman.

[BigmanPigman]

21. I think that would make tRump look even worse and lose voters.

2/3 of Americans already don't trust the BS news from his doctors or him. Also, they don't think he handled Covid well and they don't think this experience will change his attitude and behavior as far as Covid id concerned. This will backfire on jim. He wants to interrupt and rant like before...and he lost that debate. Doing a rerun AFTER Covid will lose him more voters and make Biden look like the sane, responsible choice.

[Hav]

24. It just seems so needless when there are new cases

in the White House every day. And it's not only about the risk between 2 candidates and the moderators. The whole Trump clan is just so stupid and irresponsible that getting anywhere close to them is a health hazard.
There have to be better ways than putting all of the people involved into a single room.

[marie999]

25. If it is a virtual debate then each of them has to be in a room by themselves.

They should be in the same building, but rooms where they can be monitored so they can't receive any help in the debate.

[XanaDUer2]

26. Dear God, plexiglass wall!

I worry so about Joe. I'm still worried that fucker yelling at Joe for 90 minutes last week.

[Drunken Irishman]

27. There won't be another debate. Did you see Trump struggling to breathe when he arrived at the WH?

[ananda]

30. This debate is not going to happen.

After watching Trump this evening, there is
no way he makes it to the debate.

He is clearly sluggish, struggling to breathe,
and very sick.

[keithbvadu2]

32. Biden should walk around in front of his podium at times.

Biden should walk around in front of his podium at times.

While Trump has to hang on.

[BlueIdaho]

33. Absolutely Not!

The next event is a town hall event. VP Biden should not be party to an event that could infect ordinary citizens. The commission should pull the plug.

[keithbvadu2]

34. Trump came late to the previous debate so he would not be tested.

Trump came late to the previous debate so he would not be tested.

[Duppers]

35. Will tRump even be vertical next week?

I'm doubting he'll have the capability.





6' back or 6' under, your call.

[Vinca]

36. Trump could be dead next week. He's obviously in the "roid rage" stage of his treatment and

when you add it to his pre-existing narcissistic personality disorder it's truly outrageous. I will not be surprise to see his ugly, orange ass carted out of the White House on stretcher.
