CNN Happily Floats the Idea of Biden Skipping All Presidential Debates
2020-08-04
[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] MICHAEL SMERCONISH: Joe, if the president is watching this right now, I could see him rubbing his hands together and saying, oh, my God. That would be perfect because then I, of course, get to say he's afraid to get on the stage with me. It has to do with his cognitive abilities.

JOE LOCKHART: Yes. Well, he will say that. And I think as I wrote in the article it's worth the risk. This is a president who as I said in the article is incapable of telling the truth. He spins these conspiracy theories out there. And up until now most of those theories are broadcast by FOX News and, you know, on his Twitter feed. You know, most Americans don't see that.

The debates are very different. This is the one thing, now that we're not really going to have conventions where the public will tune in, you know, 50, 60 million people. And they will -- they will see all of this nonsense from him. He will take the truth and destroy it. And Biden will be in the position of correcting him over and over and over again. I don't think he should give him that platform.

#7  biden will, I think, have to give a speech accepting the nomination of the party

He has had a lot of trouble reading in some videos.

The party is going to have to figure out a way to bypass this risk also.

#6  "In a stunning display of vigor and competence equal to Washington crossing the Delaware and Teddy Roosevelt charging up San Juan Hill, Joe Biden stood erect for ninety minutes with only minor drooling, steadfastly maintaining his position that a member of the audience was a lying dog-faced pony soldier. His election to the Senate is all but assured."

#5  Remember - the Mediaâ„¢ says independent / undecided voters are "the most intelligent" voters. So intelligence=no need for additional information.

Got it.

#4  They're setting the bar low.

If Biden doesn't actuallyand perhaps literally spectacularly collapse during the debates he will have won, no matter how objectively poor his performance might be.
