| 2024-05-16 |
| [NYPOST] President Biden and former President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... tentatively agreed Wednesday to face off in two summer debates months before the Nov. 5 election, upending the traditional campaign calendar. CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... announced that the rivals will meet at 9 p.m. ET Thursday, June 27, at its Atlanta headquarters for a debate moderated by "State of the Union" co-hosts Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. There will be no live audience, in accordance with the Biden campaign’s request. Later Wednesday, Biden and Trump said they had each accepted an offer from ABC News to hold a second debate on Tuesday, Sept. 10. |

| #17 The Barack Obama Variety Show will be all over it, with Clooney and Roberts MC the roast. Speaking of which: So a pedo, a has-been, and the president walk into a bar, and the bartender says, "Come on in, Joe." |

| #16 I think what will happen is the viewership numbers will be very pathetic. Most Bidet voters don't care and all Trump voters will skip it knowing it's fixed. |

| #15 Debate question for Biden: Why are you so great? Debate question for Trump: Have you stopped beating your wife yet? |

| #14 If Joe tanks the debate, they will pull him off the ticket and try to allow him to ride out his term. Mostly, the moderators will try to hang up on Trump because the lawfare has backfired so badly. If they are using a body double for Joe, they picked one out of an Alzheimer’s ward. Whenever Joe looks halfway coherent, it is coming off of a long rest and he acts enraged. If they have hired an actor to portray Joe as an incoherent, stumbling pervert, what’s the point? Just use Joe. That’s right in his wheelhouse. My concern with the debate is that it sounds like it will not be live. Agreeing to a debate where they can go 60 minutes on the tape is a mistake. |

| #13 ^^^^^^ "The dignity of the Presidency cannot be besmirched by debating a convicted felon. It is beneath President Biden to debate him". Sarc off |

| #12 They are banking on Trump being found guilty in the "hush money" trial and being in prison and not able to debate. It's scripted. |

| #11 Interesting he chose CNN. They're about to tank. Their only gig was "Hate Trump" that kept their ratings up which absolutely collapsed during Biden-Obama's reign. On the surface there is no reason to feed the hand that bites you. Someone playing 3D chess here? |

| #10 Would go a long way towards explaining the "no audience" requirement. |

| #3 CNN and ABC will give Biden the list of questions well before the debates so he can prepare a response to each question. |

| #2 $10 sez Trump's going to debate Tapper and Bash more than Biden. |
