#1 I don't guess Trump should have any terms though , right?

Perhaps Plugs could use Thamsanqa Jantjie style sign language during the debates and Soetoro could provide the audio translation ?

#4 lol, negotiating from a position of weakness, how's that working for you?

As well as negotiating against Trump, which means it ain't working well at all.

#5 Financial transparency? from Biden?? I thought Friedman couldn't sink any lower than his slimy groveling before the none too bright Emperor Xi. Perhaps proof that for the socialist there simply is no igneous level, they just keep going down.

#6 Trump’s two conditions must be for a Biden to 1) identify Hunter’s Ukraine Intelligence handler, 2) identify Hunter’s Chinese Intelligence handler.

#7 I think Hunters tax records would be much more interesting.

#9 Hiding works for Biden.
This is just a gambit to allow him to hide with a fig leaf of coverage. If Trump gives in they 'hope' they'll have something to bash him on, but knowing Trump I think he might have very clean tax records, in fact he might have even paid a bit more than required and is just waiting the right time to pounce.

#10 IRS has had Trump's tax returns all this time and never said boo. What do these people expect to find?

#11 What do these people expect to find?

Nothing. They expect to find nothing. They expect to create a temporary, just before elections, public impression of quite a bit of something.

#12 Yeah, and Trump should demand at least one live, in-depth debate lasting at least 3-4 hours with honest unbiased questioners and honest fact-checkers too.

In lieu of not being able to find honest questioners and fact checkers, have at least one 3-4 hour live debate and let it rip. Voters will sort it out for themselves.

#13 Trump should require Rush Limbaugh as the moderator for one of the "debates". Biden can keep his supporters, er, "journalists", for the other two.
