In reply to the discussion: Biden and Trump accept CNN's invitation to debate on June 27 [View all]liberalmediaaddict
(998 posts)43. This will be painful to watch
Not because President Biden will do a bad job but because Trump is repulsive to look at and torture to listen to.
Sitting through his 2016 and 2020 debates was miserable.
The upside is Americans tuning in will be reminded just how mentally unstable and verbally abusive Trump is.
Main challenge for Biden will be to stay calm when Trump goes after his son and record as President.

Does CNN allow parolees to debate? It's a possibly relevant question. ./nt

I agree. I already heard the Hate Radio Talkers this AM making excuses for TFG to back out.

If the debates have an audience, I won't waste my time watching the media circus, with the cheers and boos

Trump will find an excuse to pull out, most likely saying it's fixed, or they've given Biden questions

Yep. Similarly, he boasted that he wanted to testify in court. Of course, that was BS too.

I have ZERO confidence CNN is capable of producing anything but a carnival sideshow ...

You're probably right. But there's always a possibility that somebody in a position of responsibility will care.

IMO they'll finger Biden on inflation and immigration, forcing him into a defensive posture
