35. There should be no debate, and if there is, it should be remote.

Trump is a health and safety risk. We don't know his true condition. To put him in the same room with people is irresponsible and dangerous.

I know that he is doing this to show how "tough" he is and to try to paint Biden as a coward if he refuses, but Biden should simply say, "You have COVID-19, you should recover, and focus on not getting anymore people exposed and sick. We can talk about a debate remotely or once you have had independently verified negative tests."

As some others have said, a remote debate would be acceptable as the moderator would be able to mute Trump (or Biden) if they interrupt. I put Biden in to be balanced but we know that Trump would likely be hopped up on steroids and looking to talk over everyone. Plus, we know that Trump will just be using his new talking point about "personal experience with the virus" which is really stupid.
