A 4th Presidential Debate? Commission Says No to Trump

[cawacko]

Thanks for the obvious..........

THEY CAN FACT CHECK SOME OF IT............. Everything that can, should.........

How? Are you going to have a "fact checking" team sitting at the debate and have the moderator continually stop the debate while this team has five minutes, or whatever the allotted time is, to offer a ruling? Maybe I'm missing something but there's no way that's ever going to happen nor will people ever agree to what should or should not be fact checked.

Members of the Commission on Presidential Debates on Thursday rejected the Trump campaign’s request for changes to the fall debate schedule, declining to shift the debates earlier or add a fourth debate to the calendar.

“While more people will likely vote by mail in 2020, the debate schedule has been and will be highly publicized,” the commission, which is nonpartisan, said in the letter. “Any voter who wishes to watch one or more debates before voting will be well aware of that opportunity.”

Another defeat for President Bombast.

He’s already claimed they’re crooked, this will add fuel to his fire.

You drinking that cheap beer again??

I've actually not read how a fact check would work at the debate which is why I asked the question. Maybe someone posted what the logistics would entail earlier ITT and I missed it.

I wish I were drinking beer right now. I wish I was doing it at Harding Park for the PGA.

An inside source at the GNP has revealed that Trump will announce
that he will NOT debate Biden under any circumstances.

Trump will demand that he and Biden
should not meet in a debate of any kind.

Trump will ask the nation to take pity.

[Bill]

Didn't trump just agree to three debates instead of four??

trump never won a debate against Hillary. Comey showed up just in time.

ROFLMAO

[anonymoose]

They needed him to run..

He should have run instead of hillary............. 20/20

I was hoping he would at the time. I think he knew something about the corrupt DNC and that the fix was in.

here is a Trump real time fact check and he walked off the stage. https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/wat...bout-veterans/

One of the things I hate about debates.... If they don't control the debate, I won't hesitate to turn it off...........

I have started watching them again but not all & have turned some off or walked away.....

Talking over others etc isn't allowed-period......

Like the debate someone posted w/ hillary & trump, she is speaking his mic is on talking over her-fuck that, he had his say-SHUT THE FUCK NOW!!!

If he can't fine, the camera should not be on him & most certainly not an open mic........

If the mods can't be professional- debaters won't & not worth watching IMHO

Agree. As I said, Biden's campaign should dictate the terms or no debates.

Incumbents never want a debate. trump knows he's toast

[Althea]

Perhaps I missed it......... & what significance it is.

That was before Covid. No question that trump wouldn't want to debate. Now he knows he has to

[Micawber]

I don't need to see a debate. Biden will do a serviceable if unexceptional job marshaling facts to
support germane arguments relative to posed questions, and Trump will totally bullshit the entire time with zero prep.

If you are an idiot who falls for a suede shoe salesman, you'll dbl down on the clown.
I'm sidin' with Biden (sm)

He has been around a long time, he would seem to be an insiders insider...

But I thought it was the death of his son or something like that........???

You people want the dumb jocks throwing food and doing a Oregon Delta House walkout.

If that were true why do some many people whether on TV, radio, social media or boards like this spend hours upon hours upon hours discussing everything he says?

It is fun to make fun of the handicapped, just ask Trump.
