Election 2020 Bidening the Trump? Trumping the Biden? The presidential debate thread.

Biden rejects Trump's request for third party inspection of ears for communication devices.

Trump camp seeks extra debate rule: Third party inspectors to look for electronic devices in candidates' ears

President Trump is asking for an additional ground rule ahead of Tuesday night’s first presidential debate between himself and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Biden also rejected Trump's request for a drug test.

Trump Questions Biden’s Debate Performances

U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday he will demand that his Democratic challenger in the November 3 national election, former Vice President Joe Biden, take a drug test before or after their debate this Tuesday night, suggesting that Biden’s uneven performance in previous political debates...

In return apparently Trump refused Biden's request for a Bathroom break during the 90 minute debate. I heard it on the radio but haven't found an article yet.

Ah here's an article talking about the Trump Campaign denying the Biden campaign a bathroom break every thirty minutes in the ninety minute debate.

I wonder if we will see Biden signal for the teleprompter to go up?

If only... Then Trump can start reading it the same time Biden does.

At this point it's a matter of seeing if Biden is so mentally deficient that he can't win, even with all the assistance he will have.

It's stacked against Trump. Biden will be on whatever drug cocktail perks him up, will have an ear piece, and has probably had the questions and been rehearsing them for weeks.

But 9pm is probably past his bed time, so we'll see.

I wonder if the Trump team could fabricate a device that would interfere with bluetooth and disable his ear device..

The scramblers they use to protect POTUS convoy's would probably do the trick.

However, I'm not sure the USSS would allow it to be used for that.

I don't know who will win, but I think I can say now: The American people will lose. Listening to two old men yell at each other to get off the lawn isn't going to add anything to our knowledge of what we need or who can provide it.

So it gets curiouser, and curiouser.

I for one would love to see Trump trash Biden.

The drug test is dumb. Let it go.

Yeah I see it as setting a potential new moving of the goalpost in case Biden doesn't act like a demented worldless yappin' old grandpa and instead beats Trump in a debate. Lot of vocal Trump supporters have proclaimed how senile old Biden is going to be crushed in the debate by Trump. But I guess Trump & co. ain't that condident anymore considering the sudden invention of Biden being on drugs. Which I find laughable. My recently deceased grandmother had Alzheimer's and I know from first hand experience that there ain't no drug that one can suddenly inject / ingest and become their younger lucid self.

There are meds that can do it, for a period of time, if they aren't in late-stage dementia.

And Biden is of the political class who can get the very best meds/treatment in the world, far beyond what plebs like us can dream of or afford.

Personally I have no problem with the drug test question, as it allows us to get a honest read on both candidates physical health and/or what they are taking for medical issues.

Trump was willing to submit to a test, why shouldn't Biden?

Trump should mention in the debate that Joe Biden was friends with a Leader of the KKK

 

[Rocinante]

I feel like instead of a debate with questions and a moderator, we should just mic the two of them up and put them in a room together and see what happens

Are you talking about Robert C. Byrd?

 

[Duke Nukem]

Are you talking about Robert C. Byrd?

Yup

This is the type of guy Joe Biden was friends with.

Honestly, at this point?
Bring them out prior to football games and hockey matches and give their respective pitches--maybe we can even theme each pre-game speech around 'taxes' or 'foreign policy' or whatever--then the patented applause-O-meter every stadium has can be used to declare the winner of that 'debate'.

And they have to operate the T-Shirt cannons. And buy the crowd free peanuts, popcorn, beer and hot-dogs with their campaign funds.

If we're going to emulate late-stage Roman Republic other ways, we might as well get in on some of that 'bread and circuses' fun before things go fully tits-up.

(This is a sarcastic proposal...I think)

 

[Certified_Heterosexual]

Yup

This is the type of guy Joe Biden was friends with.

Byrd was kind of a funny guy:

 

[Sailor.X]

I will make a prediction President Trump will have Corn Pop sitting with his family during the debate.

 

[Duke Nukem]

I got the popcorn yall.

 

[Duke Nukem]

How many Gaffes do you guys predict from Joe Biden?

 

[MelancholicMechanicus]

I hope he brings up the new leaks about Hillary and the Obama White House coordinating on the Russia narrative. It's super fresh, no way the Biden team came up with a counter to it.

 

[Tzeentchean Perspective]

The timing does seem purposeful.

 

[Duke Nukem]

4 minutes until it starts

Everyone get your Bingo ready?
