Swamp-Infested Commission on Presidential Debates Unilaterally Decides That Next Debate Will be "Virtual;" Trump Says He'll Hold a Rally Instead, Biden Says He'll Have a Forum Where "Citizens" (aka Hand Selected Democrat Plants) Can Ask Him Questions

They've decided that they like the presidential race in its current form and will use every tool at their disposal to freeze it in place.

Biden announced that he will hold a town hall in "an appopriate forum" (aka "a leftwing news organization") and will answer "citizens' questions."

These "citizens" will be, of course, the media's sort of "citizens," which is to say, intense leftwing partisans and Democrat operatives. And obviously, the "questions" will be pre-screened, if not outright written for the "citizens."

And Biden will be given a rehearsed answer to them.

And even with all that -- we'll still see him reading the teleprompter.

17 Virtual debate == cheating and fraud. It's a terrible idea and a clear setup. Trump should offer to set up a clean, safe environment and a plexiglass barrier between them. If Biden can hit the campaign trail in Nevada, he can go to a debate.

And fire the stupid "non-partisan, independent, non-profit" debate commission.

I mean, cmon -- the debate commission changed the rules right before the debate. No one agreed to this format.

And i think trump is right to not allow a virtual debate, where he can be muted, where Biden can have help from right off camera, and where the typical communication - over - technology bullshit will definitely be a factor.

Because while the media is gaslighting us about 2016 and how wrong their polling and the entire weight of the media was in who was going to win then, Biden's team has to be terrified of repeating what they see as Hillary's big mistake of just not campaigning enough once she was told she had a 90%+ chance of winning by the new york times.

54 Did anyone check the timing on Kamala's answers yesterday? All pitch perfect, designed in under 2 minutes exactly. Almost like she had practiced those specific questions. But that was expected, and the fact she's a wooden harpy who's less authentically African than Woody Allen tipped the thing to Pence.

+++++++++++++
The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) was established in 1987 to ensure, for the benefit of the American electorate, that general election debates between or among the leading candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States are a permanent part of the electoral process. CPD's primary purpose is to sponsor and produce the quadrennial general election debates and to undertake research and educational activities relating to the debates. The organization, which is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) corporation, sponsored all of the presidential debates [since 1988].

To meet its ongoing goal of educating voters, the CPD is engaged in various activities beyond producing and sponsoring the presidential debates. Its staff prepares educational materials and conducts research to improve the quality of debates.

Getting angry is a signal that your side is losing. What you do is grab someone and start making fun of Biden in the same area. When you get challenged, be ready to very calmly push back.

Posted by: Clyde Shelton at October 08, 2020 12:14 PM (Do5/p)

101 A town hall debate favors Biden immensely anyway. Plus the "moderator" is a former Biden intern. And Biden will likely have a teleprompter.

Still, I'm not crazy about Trump canceling a debate. Whoever on his campaign negotiated these debates should be fired, every moderator is a complete ringer for the Democrats.

106 Did anyone check the timing on Kamala's answers yesterday? All pitch perfect, designed in under 2 minutes exactly. Almost like she had practiced those specific questions. But that was expected, and the fact she's a wooden harpy who's less authentically African than Woody Allen tipped the thing to Pence.

Posted by: Harry Paratestes at October 08, 2020 12:11 PM (cnTJD)

As soon as the last debate ended, Democrats began demanding that the "Moderator" be given a kill switch over anything Trump said. Trump very correctly said "no way, we never agreed to that." The "Virtual" format automatically gives the Dems the kill switch they want, Trump is correct to refuse to be part of it.

138 I call it crisis porn. Everything is an "unprecedented" (the most over-used word of the 21st century) crisis.

It's not that people are sheeple. It's that many people actually desire to be told what to do and think. Taking orders relieves one of all the hard work of living.

Virtue-signalling is one's public display of loyalty to the greater authority (GA), typically a moral authority, that removes all moral ambiguity and makes life a mindless breeze (except for the 5% who live by personal ethics). Display then becomes the passport to general acceptance.

Unless the GA needs a scapegoat for its inevitable and fatal programmatic failures. Then arrest, trial, and execution of the wreckers can hit anyone.

But as the probability that any specific person takes the hit is low, no one will see the danger to themselves when someone else is hoisted to the gibbet.

Collectivism is the enemy of individual freedom, and reflexive collectivism is the mortal enemy of a future for our species.

But just saying, "Covid makes the virtual debate necessary" is just handing Biden a myriad ways of cheating. (Betty Sue from MSBNC hands Biden's team the questions, Skywalker Ranch creates a Joey Deepfake, and Trump will be debating the entire DNC hiding behind the curtain.)

Here is my conspiracy theory:
They wanted to get Trump to cancel the debate so they could blame it on him. They seeded the White House with the virus so he would get sick and have to cancel and look like his take o n the precautions was disastrous as this is the only issue they have. They did not count on him recovering so quickly so he could be on the debate stage on the 15th so they had to comeup with another reason for Trump to cancel. They knew he would never agree to this.There it is.

The time to demand a restructuring of how the moderators are selected for 2024 was 6 months ago. Still, better late than never.
I would start with the demand that rather than leaving moderator selection up to the Commission, which is clearly biased, each side would select a questioner for each debate. That would finally dispense with the threadbare fiction that the moderators are unbiased. No more "journalists". You might as well use the DNC as your selection pool. The questioners are assumed to be advocates for the side that selects them. That's fine with me, since that's the way it works for the Dems anyway.

Better still is to dispense with moderators altogether, but that won't happen.

Yeah, I'm doing virtual meetings all the time for work, and it's more exhausting then pointless in person meetings, which I didn't think was possible.

There's always a bit of a delay, occasional buffering issues, and something just ... weird about it. There's also something about it that makes people talk over each other more then they would in person, which complicates things even further.

Plus, I'm on camera, so I have to stare at a computer screen the whole time (which also means there's no "virtual" eye contact either, which is kind of odd.)

I think there should be moderators, but they should be a panel of partisans. As you mention, the press-sourced "non-partisan" bullshit is exactly that.

And do you know why? It's in the CPD's rules:
The moderators are selected by the CPD several weeks before the debates. The CPD uses three criteria to select its moderators: a) familiarity with the candidates and the major issues of the presidential campaign; b) extensive experience in live television broadcast news; and c) an understanding that the debate should focus maximum time and attention on the candidates and their views. The moderators alone select the questions to be asked, which are not known to the CPD or to the candidates.

234 The consequences of a dumbed-down country and non-existent press (not his fault) and a science-free flaming trainwreck of a CDC and task force (more his fault) are absolutely perfectly illustrated here. For those who've somehow missed all the earlier examples.

Trump of course is non-infectious (if he ever was - it's not always the case, not even close). Even in the pantheon of jaw-droppingly idiotic and baseless CDC unscientific atrocities, there is nothing as obviously ridiculous as the idea that a recovered person could be infectious.

But since we are 7 months into the greatest public policy disaster in modern history (lives, $, freedoms, social impact), all of it driven by authorities who've long since left any science or observational history behind, no surprise that something astounding like this could happen (the "commission" cancelling in-person event).

Most of the public, having received zero help from leadership anywhere outside FL and SD, and marinating in science-free idiocy from the WH task force and CDC, as further distorted and emphasized by the "press", will mostly just nod.

Dr Atlas is quoted this week as saying he didn't come to do the WH gig because of politics, but because "the country is off the rails". An incredible, and yet absolutely appropriate, statement.

238 I'm not really sure how many undecided voters there really are, but I don't otherwise know how to explain how once reliable blue states went Trump in 2016 unless some Obama voters changed their mind.

Posted by: Maven at October 08, 2020 12:24 PM (VH1Q/)

David Axelrod said something very insightful in like 2014 or so -- that there really aren't large groups of undecided voters out there. That campaign consultants in DC make it seem like there are 10-20% of the population who switch back and forth on who they are going to vote for kind of on a whim, because that makes them (the consultants) valuable, and that's how they make a living.

He said that they ran both of Obama's campaigns on the premise that those undecideds didn't really exist, and that the key to winning an election is turning out your base.

Trump seemingly took a similar strategy in 2016.

I think a lot of people in DC make a lot of money pretending that there are a fuckton of swing voters, when it really is as simple as getting people who already generally agree with your candidate to actually vote.

I thought masks were the magic solution to infecting others.

They don't prevent you from getting it, but you don't wear the mask to protect yourself, you wear the mask to protect others and grandma and the world!

So, according to the Left, if Trump wears a mask and stays 6' away, there is zero percent risk for anyone. Right?

Or have they been *gasp* lying to us all this time?!

After watching that first performance by Wallace, I decided immediately that this years debate format was hopelessly biased and Trump needed to find a way go get out of any more.

But Trump could then answer real questions like in a debate, maybe even have a fake Joe saying the Hunter criminal bribery is debunked "come on man". But script a real debate, where Trump nails every point.

Example --

Fake Joe: "I will not raise taxes on anyone earning under $400k"
Prez Trump: "There you go again Joe ... you promised to cancel all my tax breaks, which will raise taxes on all blue collar workers"

Because, as the CDC has recently admitted, and has been common sense all along -- covid-19, like most respiratory viruses, exists in the air.

So if an infected person exhales, there is an amount of time after they exhale the virus that it's just floating along in the air in microscopic particles. Which is why most spreading seems to happen indoors, at home (we're all breathing the same air), in nursing homes or other places full of people that don't have expensive and high end air purifiers and is less likely to happen outdoors (wind dissipates the air quickly.)

It also means that masks are pretty much useless, unless we're talking about everyone wearing medical-grade respirators at all time, which we aren't.

289 I hope this isn't the end of the debates. If they need to post-pone the debate a couple of days until Trump has tested negative multiple days in a row that's what they should do.

I actually think Trump should do a virtual debate. The temptation for Biden's camp to "help" Biden off-camera will be too tempting and the odds of them getting busted is high. If Biden gets busted in a live debate reading off a teleprompter or getting any sort of assistance off camera he's toast. Done.

And like I said it's going to be all too tempting for his team to help in some way. They will think they can get away with it or that the media will help them.

Holding rallies and whatnot isn't going to help Trump as much as him landing some blows against Biden directly in a debate.

306 >>>If Trump wins, this will set a strong precedent for Republicans skipping the Presidential Commission Debates, or at least having a stronger hand in arguing for fairer terms and moderators, in the future.


The GOP should skip debates unless a legitimate fair moderator is assigned. Biden just started the precedent, so why enter a casino you know is already rigged?

307 "I actually think Trump should do a virtual debate. The temptation for Biden's camp to "help" Biden off-camera will be too tempting and the odds of them getting busted is high. If Biden gets busted in a live debate reading off a teleprompter or getting any sort of assistance off camera he's toast. Done."

He got busted at the first debate wearing a wire under his shirt. And the CNN said he's leading by 15.

I hope that "Trump's advisor" nick means that this is satirical. Trump cannot agree to give dems a Kill Switch over him, not ever. They know they can destroy anything he says with that, and make Biden look great. No debates are far, far better than anything under the rules they propose.

Posted by: Tom Servo at October 08, 2020 12:38 PM (Kpl3J)

312 I will say though, even with a "rigged" moderator like we saw last night, it's a net win for Republicans to debate if they are well prepped.

The facts are on our side and I still think America is somewhat center-right and the Dems have gone far-left.

Pence did a good job basically ignoring rigged questions and just landing punches to kamala, Trump could do the same in a town hall format.

I don't have a good answer, but I think Trump "walking" should have happened during the negotiations and not now. I'm hoping a deal can be struck, Biden is still really vulnerable on live TV.

330 Trump's rallies are mostly watched remotely only by Trump fans. None of the broadcast networks show them. XiNN and MSLSD stopped showing them live long ago ago.

If there are no debates, Trump's only ways to get any sort of nation-wide audience are doing a town hall on CBS or NBC (he did one on ABC a few weeks ago), or buying an hour of prime-time on all three broadcast networks if he can afford it. If he does the latter, I expect Fox and all other cable channels would get permission to run it live. Unknown if XiNN and MSLSD would run it live in entirety.

I vaguely recall Trump buying a 30 or 60 minute early prime-time block at about this point on the calendar in 2016. I'm probably wrong.

I'm just saying, the medias reaction proves that they know that they're lying about masks and social distancing and all of these silly rules.

The reason respiratory diseases spread so easily and quickly every year is not because sick people are sneezing all over everyone, it's because the virus can survive in the air for some period of time before it falls to the ground and eventually dies.

And yes, being infectious and infected are definitely different things.

But I was talking about this more to point out that the media knows they're lying to us about covid to make us more panicked then we should be, because it's an election year.

394 Dems wanted mail in ballots like California, etc. where the ballots would be mailed out to everyone. But, in most of the states, it is a request for an absentee ballot that is being mailed out which has to be filled out and returned to then get an actual ballot which then has to be mailed or returned to a ballot return box.

People that have not filled out an absentee ballot can often get it wrong because of issues like witnesses being required such as SC, in PA, ballot has to be in a secrecy envelope, and so on.

It can be a challenge to those not that interested in voting which is why Dems wanted ballot harvesting to allow "helping" the voter get them in.

But I don't think Rogan would have Trump on his podcast without Biden there.

He's already accused of being a secret right wing plant, I don't think he'd want to hurt his image by having Trump on.

Which I think is for the better. Many / most of my non political friends listen to Rogan, he's a powerful kind of ally for us to have. It works better for everyone if he stays somewhat leftist / non political, and can't be accused of being a crazy right winger.

I don't know if I believe that. Last night I took my dog for a walk right after the debate. In my 'hood, houses are pretty close to the street, not a lot of front lawn space. So you can see inside easily if there are no blinds, which for some reason few houses have. If there's a TV on you can see what's on. Seemed like every other house had a talking head on from one of the networks.

You and the rest who've commented on this are correct - I looked up the NYT story and yes, it was a "militia" (with 6 whole guys in it!!!) and it had been "infiltrated" by an FBI informant. I would not be surprised if their defense at trial is "Hey you know it was the Informant who wrote all that stuff about getting Whitmer and who sent it around to all of us." And the Prosecution will say "well yeah, but they didn't condemn it loudly enough."

I loath polls and don't believe them. But what they are doing is comparing them to 2016 and adjusting where they think they went wrong.

To me, logically, if your starting point is wrong, you need a new map. Again, that's just me.

The rub seems to be the sampling they use. I can't speak for individual models, but they are saying they've now adjusted sampling, but I still see a lot of over sampled Dems.

579 550 Libertarian state parties in a lot of states depend on Democratic donors to stay on the ballot. In a similar way, Republican donors sometimes fund the Green party at the state level to siphon off votes.

Ironically, NY had (not sure that it is current), a provision that their state minor parties could either run their own candidate or endorse one of the major party ones.

That would give more incentive for third parties to have some influence rather than be a racket to siphon off votes from major parties.

602 Newton N. Minow

This is all you need to know about who is rigging the debates for Biden.

There's no way that Trump should participate in a farce where Biden will have access to a teleprompter, advance warning of the questions and prepared responses, and a moderator with a quick finger on the mute button.

IIRC, Newton Minow was the FCC Commissioner in the FIFTIES who established initial censorship policy for TV. He is now 95 years old. !!!

603 559. About six years ago the FBI arrested a so called militia chief in the rural backwoods of SE Michigan who they claimed was going to try to overthrow the state government. He had a huge army of something like eleven people and an arsenal of half a dozen ARs and a couple of homemade bombs. He was sentenced to a few years in prison and his stuff confiscated. The story disappeared as it was mostly nothing. My guess is this one will also after the left wing Detroit News wrings as much Trump blame out of it as possible.

He also seems to be comparing poll results now to poll results from the last week before the election in 2016 and claiming that early voters are overwhelmingly voting for Dem Senators to "check" Trump.

610 Gem Whitmer spent two million taxpayer dollars in the last few months to build a fence around the Govenors mansion on Lansing. The same woman who is against building a wall or fence along the border. Said she needs it because of death threats.

I don't think that can be achieved. NBC was just busted for recycling these "undecided voters", etc. between the townhall on MSNBC and the one recently on NBC.

624 In the hope that JJ and Ace read and get this suggestion to Graham and the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee:

1. After her poor debate performance, Harris will seek to redeem herself in the eyes of her Party by using her standard tactics in questioning Judge Barrett.

2. Graham and the Republicans can counter this tactic by asking questions which allow Judge Barrett to follow-up her answers when she is cut off by Harris.

3. Better still, under the Jefferson Rules of Procedure, they may cede their time to her or each other, as warranted.

4. We don't need the Republicans grandstanding. The Judge will do well without them, but she needs time to respond the way Pence did at the debate.

626 Scott Adams wonders if Trump doesn't need a second debate anyway.
Mike Pence destroyed the real Democrat Presidential candidate, Kamala Harris.

And a virtual debate would simply be a series of the moderator cutting Trump's mike every time he made a point or when Joe lied.
