Biden "Accepts" Offer to Debate, With Special Conditions to Protect Biden; Trump, for Some Lunatic Reason, Accepts His Terms

Your first offer is accepted without reservations!

This guy wrote The Art of the Deal?


President Joe Biden has finally agreed to participate in debates with former President Donald Trump, two months after refusing Trump's open challenge to debate "Anytime, anywhere, anyplace." The decision comes amid Biden's cratering poll numbers in swing-states, though the Biden camp's proposal comes with significant guardrails for the gaffe-prone president.

Key Details:

The Biden-Harris campaign proposed the debates in a letter to the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates, breaking the tradition of three fall meetings organized by the commission.

The proposed dates for the debates are in late June and early September, with a vice presidential debate to occur in late July.

The Biden proposal includes specific conditions such as no audience, no interruptions from Trump while Biden is speaking, and only Biden-friendly news outlets can moderate.

...

The Biden-Harris campaign's proposal for the debates was outlined in a letter to the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates. This move breaks away from the decades-old tradition of three fall meetings organized by the debate commission. The first debate is proposed to be in late June, after Trump's New York criminal trial is likely to be over and after Biden returns from meeting with world leaders at the G7 Summit. A second presidential debate would occur in September prior to the beginning of early voting. The campaign also proposed a vice presidential debate to occur in late July after the Republicans nominate their vice presidential candidate.

However, the Biden proposal includes some significant guardrails for the gaffe-prone president. These include no audience, no interruptions from Trump while Biden is speaking, and only Biden-friendly news outlets can moderate (CBS, ABC, CNN, or Telemundo).

Telemundo? Fantastic.

Trump, who has been vocal about his readiness to debate Biden, responded to the proposal on Truth Social Wednesday morning, saying, "It's time for a debate so that he can explain to the American People his highly destructive Open Border Policy, new and ridiculous EV Mandates, the allowance of Crushing Inflation, High Taxes, and his really WEAK Foreign Policy, which is allowing the World to 'Catch on Fire.'"

I've got a bad feeling about this. Chris Wallace did a lot to hurt Trump. The leftwing media is salivating to do that again, even harder this time.

Trump doesn't even need these debates -- Biden needs them. So Trump had all the leverage to set terms.

Instead, he let Biden set the terms. Trump will be debating CNN, CBS, and Telemundo more than Biden. They won't let Trump engage with Biden and will answer on behalf of Biden at every turn.

Update:

Reading Trump's Truth Social post, it sounds like he is only agreeing to the time. Where is it that he agrees to the other conditions? Trump clearly says he prefers a large venue (i.e. a big audience).

I keep suspecting that Biden's team will find reason to not debate, so Trump's team accepting feels low risk.

Besides, it's unclear that debates have much effect anymore with the 24/7/365 political news cycle.

17 Trump's attitude of "always attack at all times everywhere in all directions" has always been dumb, but especially so in the arena of politics. Strategery is what's required here and by agreeing to let the networks bitchslap him up one side and down the other while doing their level best to protect Biden helps him how?

"Oh, it shows in real time that the networks protect Biden!"

Even the asleep normies know that, chief. This helps everyone but Trump.

One possibility is Trump is going to push them to over react, cut his mic and make it an obvious sheetshow. Biden is so prone to outbursts, Trump may be be hoping to goad him into doing something over the top.

Getting down in the mud is Trump's milieu. He'll probably enjoy himself.

I'm not saying this is a great idea and he'll come out better for it, we'll see. But that is right up Trump's alley.

PDT doing anything other than accepting the debate, as is, would create a media firestorm. The Junta was looking for a reason to vilify PDT because he demanded certain conditions.

PDT also turns down the debate, same scenario. I'm not sure the Junta really wants a debate and counted on PDT doing anything but accepting the debate as is.

We all know they're never going to let Biden actually take the stage with Trump (unless this is their way of getting rid of him by demonstrating how demented he is).

Trump is calling his coward's bluff.

This is no different from Biden challenging people to a fight that he knows his SS goons would never let happen.

51 I have a little different take: Joey Showers made this "offer" with the expectation and hope that Trump would decline. Then Showers and his media whores would squeal "Trump won't debate Biden!"

Showers' offer was basically a bluff. Trump essentially called that bluff. I'm not sure what other option Trump had given what I say above. Yes, the terms suck. But when do they ever not suck for the GOP? You can have a debate with the terms set solely by the GOP . . . and the terms would still suck.

This was Trump's assumption during the first debate in 2020, and it did not pan out. Biden didn't collapse and shit himself, and Trump came out looking like an ass - note that Trump changed tactics for the next debates.

It's in a style of going between close up to medium shot. It's pretty standard in short-form videos now. It's kind of annoying.

Does this also mean that Biden cannot interrupt President Trump when he is speaking?

My guess is that Biden will be told by his handlers to only read what he is given and then be quiet. And the moderators will all handle President Trump by interrupting him all the time and trying to "fact-check" him on the spot. So Biden can just sit back and not have to do anything other than read note cards or teleprompters. Or have answers fed to him in an ear piece.

73 My real only concern is that Biden tries to pull the same stunt he did on Paul Ryan in the 2012 VP debate, and constantly interrupts, and the "friendly" moderator allows it to go on.

Otherwise, it will be a really weird time to watch Biden decompose. Of course, he will wear and ear piece, with people feeding him talking points. It would be great to have a jammer on site and ruin that.

80 Not sure I agree Trump has much to lose by debating. It's free airtime for him and Biden needs a lower rather than higher profile.

As much as the media hates him, airtime they give him has largely been a win historically(even though it was adversarial) and it was only when they stopped giving him a voice during COVID that things became quite difficult.

99 The point of this was getting the media, reluctantly and sadly, to finally admit to the world that Trump is THE one and only opposition candidate for President and there will be no "convictions" excuses to his being elected.

Agreeing to debate him as that opponent, with real dates and moderators, means that all the lawfare and its ultimate purpose is all for naught. Even CNN can't ask, "well, as a convicted felon, why should you even be President?" because the response is, "well, if you thought I shouldn't, then why are you here and giving me a debate as if I should be?"

Yes, and he did the same thing with Trump. It was Biden -- not Trump -- who started interrupting first. Before that, Trump was playing by the rules. Of course Trump then started interrupting himself. He had to, or else he'd look weak and impotent like Ryan. The meme that Trump started interrupting Biden first is a bald-faced, demonstrable lie.

Fair enough, to whatever extent it backfired. They still needed to cheat to "win". However, the landscape is very different. Biden only had to be Not Trump and breathing.

But now we have wars and inflation and the simple question of, do you want four more years of this?

Truthfully, I think Biden is already cooked in a fair election. Blacks vote 90% Democrat, so maybe 25% of the Dem votes. If Biden loses 25% of black men, that's about 3% of the overall vote, and a larger % of the urban areas Biden really needs.

If the cheat can be limited, just curbed, Biden is toast. Want to screw up the cheat? Refuse to report results from R districts until the Dems have reported. They always go last and know the margin they need to cover. Take away that info and things get tricky.

Frankly what people think of each candidate is pretty much baked in the cake. So far FJB is confirming to everyone that he is out of touch with Americans. Letting him babble on about how great the economy is in a debate will only confirm what people already believe. I don't think these debates will do anything to move the needle but most likely solidify the current state of the election which is a Trump win even if he has Dem operatives asking the questions.

151 Again, it's not like ANY moderator from a "major news organization" would be even remotely neutral... it's unfair, corrupt, etc., but it is reality. Once the offer was made, it had to be taken to avoid making Trump out as being afraid to debate, and it would give the Joetato an easy out if he tried to change the terms of the deal. So it was either this or nothing, and I think Trump feels that letting Joe ramble incoherently or have a full dementia meltdown at him for something he says isn't going to hurt him.

I ask this in complete sincerity: Please identify one time when Trump, in a combative environment, DIDN'T puff up, put on a swagger, and try to out-hit his opponent.

The times I recall him acting in a way people typically refer to as 'presidential' were during set-pieces like his inaugural and States of the Union speeches. I can't recall him acting like that in a contested or denied environment, and would love an example or two.

Biden is an 81 year old dementia ridden idiot who has destroyed the country with his 40 year old ideas.

Probably too late now if they're accepted the terms as described but Trump's team could have insisted that the mics be on a two-way switch so only one of them could be active at any given time. Then if FJB interrupts Trump, it would be obvious that the moderators were allowing it.

172 It's not as dumb as at first blush.

1. Trump knows Biden can't debate. He can't even give a teleprompter speech without something *pause* going wrong. So if Biden is dumb enough to debate, he makes an absolute fool of himself in front of the country.

2. And I think this more likely, Biden pulls out citing Trump is a dictator or something dumb like that and everyone sees Biden running from the debate.

Either way, Trump wins. A moderator can only do so much protecting...

Yeah sure. Ever since Trump arrived on the scene the one thing truly accomplished was making the TEA Party movement a distant memory. Who did THAT help most?

European aristocrats used to war against each other and it was the peons whose blood was shed. How is the antiTrumpian war any different?

225 Bad decision if Trump carries through. Biden needs to be seen with him, not vice versa. They will juice Biden up so he will be able to get through it. The media will provide a big assist.

The country is burning, the economy is terrible, the average person is suffering, our communities are being invaded and destroyed and dudes are ruining women's sports. Do you really need to distract from what's actually going on? No, Tonto, no you don't.

226 The debate is on Telemundo. PDT shows up with a cheer leading squad of Mexican weather girls, and announces his intention to speak only in Spanish, which he learned at the military academy his Dad sent him to to toughen him up. Ola.

As long as Trump sets out to debate the moderator he'll do fine.

229 The cuts aren't to hide Joe's errors, they're trying to emulate the prevailing style of TikTok videos (which has spread to Instagram reels and YouTube Shorts). Except the cadence is wrong. It ends up like they knew that TikTokkers do those things but didn't study enough. Big "hello fellow kids" energy.

Same, oddly, with the Apple ad everyone piles on. Some of the most popular videos on YouTube are where people crush things in a hydraulic press (lithium-ion batteries get really spicy when you do that), or put them through an industrial shredder, or blow them up with C4. The error of the ad was doing it in a slow, plodding way instead of just pull a lever and blam, like a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

230 I can see a short, timed "debate" with fairly soft questions for *biden that can be answered with short, "yes" or "no" answers with a little context, if needed. Anything more than that would be... difficult for spongebrain. Especially if Trump was his typical, combative self with his own answers.

And, as others have pointed out; what would be shown to the public would be an edited version of what the *biden camp wanted to portray.

If there's going to be any sort of debate between these two it should be live and unscripted. But it won't.

234 In what ways exactly has Trump demonstrated he's not a member of the Uniparty? He's disappointed normals so many times that this is a legitimate question. As it stands he's been the ruling class' solution to open rebellion (there remains very many not yet fallen who still have it too good) in that "just one more time and we will finally reestablish rule of law working and stability returned."

Trump had no choice but to agree to do any debate with biden anywhere or he would be seen as backing down from biden.


I still say there is an 85% probability that there will be no debate though. bidens doj can arrange to have Trump in court the entire week and not let him go to the debates, and again, that's a win for biden.

297 I still say there is an 85% probability that there will be no debate though. bidens doj can arrange to have Trump in court the entire week and not let him go to the debates, and again, that's a win for biden.

299 107, Sandy Vigilante said, "Brain dead Biden is trying to goad Trump into a debate. Biden needs the debate, Trump does not. Trump should not take the bait.

Trump should make his own demands.

(1) Two moderators- one chosen by Brain Dead Biden, one chosen by Trump.

(2) Drug testing prior and immediately after the debate.

(3) Public venue with a big audience."
-------------------------

Absolutely, he needs to push for the audience and a choice of moderator. Trump needs the energy from the crowd, he thrives on it. Biden can play old, senile man being picked on by the bully that the moderators reinforce is a felon. People at home gauge the debate based on audience reaction in real-time. Left to their own devices, the media will spin reaction.

Also, solid move to fuck with him over the blood test.

And the mod will be absolutely hostile to Trump.

It'll be nasty.

The one consolation to me is that none of that circus act, none of their covering for Biden, none of their hostile questions to Trump, none of their advantages to make Biden look better in any debate will negate the horrific inflation people are living with, or the spectacle of the millions of illegal aliens that have overrun the country, or the leftist Jew hatred that is consuming the campuses and elsewhere. This pile-on they think they'll do to Trump during this monkey show does nothing to assuage the dismal feelings everyone is having about the state of America under that old, corrupt buffoon's watch.

342 Even in friendly conversational interviews which can be edited, Biden screws up. There is no way he will be able to memorze answers to questions even if he knows them in advance. He needs s cheat sheet while sitting next to a Head of State. He has nothad a press conference that I can remember where the answers were not written down on a card in front of him. Unlike Trump, he never walks over the the Press line and answers questions. Shouts a one word answer and gets on a plane or helicopter.
He is hardly ever at the White House and when he is, usually only one or two things on his calender.
Can he even remember the names of World leaders or be able to expound on the issues of the day? Is he even being briefed?
It is absurd to assume that somehow he can be medicated enough to make up for his deteriorating mental state.

This was quite obviously public posturing with unreasonable terms, so that if Trump so much as took a breath before agreeing to everything, the Democrats can claim "Biden agreed to debate and Trump ran scared!" Trump had to come back strong, and did not agree to the terms. But I still think the Democrats are just trying to find a way to publicly save face and claim that it is Trump who won't debate.

364 Trump Faces Troubles, But Biden Campaign is Dead in the Water
A mass freakout in the Democratic Party as Joe can't find is own ass using both hands.

Posted by: Elric Blade at May 15, 2024 12:51 PM (iFTx/)

The difference, of course, being that Trump was winning the GOP primary whereas Biden is (currently) losing the General.

*Note: I didn't take a position on Trump debating during the primaries. The last Trump Wars chased me off, and I like this place, so I stayed out of it this time.

368 I think some people are missing a big point here, biden was throwing down the gauntlet to Trump and hoping he would not pick it up. If Trump refuses to debate joe biden because of cnn conducting the debate joe biden wins. If Trump refused to debate biden regardless of the venue, again, biden wins.

Trump had no choice but to agree to do any debate with biden anywhere or he would be seen as backing down from biden.

375 Team Trump needs to have a truly EXPERT radio-frequency analyst sitting ringside, with scanners set to pick up *any* Bluetooth or other such signals as might be sent to Jotato's earpiece.

While "jamming" is illegal, per FCC rules, intercepting and recording what's said on an open airwave would seem quite kosher to me. HAM, CB, Marine and Aviation VHF are all open frequencies, too. Everyone can tune in and listen.

And when enough damning "prompts" have been recorded, then at a signal, the recorder is handed to Trump, who presses "Play" with the speaker aimed at the live debate microphone.

Whereupon Trump simply declares, that FJB can't even stand at the podium and debate, without assistance.

Oh, and that FJB is a lying cheat, too.

_________

There would only be a privilege if Cohen were prepping with his own lawyer. There's no atty-client privilege between a prosecutor and a witness for the prosecution. What was said at the prep session is fair game. Even if Cohen had his own personal lawyer present at prep, the privilege wouldn't apply because a third party was also present (the prosecutor or the prosecutor's agent).

379 PJMedia: The Biden campaign is officially abandoning the Presidential Debates Commission.

For months, the campaign has been setting the stage for Joe Biden's potential refusal to engage in any presidential debates while simultaneously laying the groundwork to blame Donald Trump for it — even though Trump has been calling on Biden to debate the entire time. Now, the campaign says it will not participate in the three planned debates for the fall, set up by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD).

In terms of a moderator, Trump noted that he would like a fair moderator but added, "I'd be willing to take anybody. What difference does that make? I'd be willing to take anybody."

404 Fast-forward six months to May 13, 2024 — yesterday. The New York Times published a story headlined, “Trump Leads in 5 Key States, as Young and Nonwhite Voters Express Discontent With Biden.” A new poll showed Biden trailing in the same states by nearly the same margin as the old poll. Compare this sentence with the one from six months ago: “The surveys … found that Mr. Trump was ahead of Mr. Biden in five of six key states: Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. Mr. Biden led among registered voters in only one battleground state, Wisconsin.”

Think about it. In the past six months, Biden has traveled the country, touting what he believes are his economic accomplishments. He has spent zillions of dollars on advertising, focusing specifically on the key states. And at the same time, Trump was either preparing to go on trial or, since April 15, actually on trial in New York, facing a maximum of 136 years in prison. And Biden is still unable to catch Trump.

Not being a woman, the rape fantasies thing isn't something I can say yea or nay to, except that one particular lady in New York did seem to have that as part of her rich imaginary world. I still remember CNN cutting away from the interview when she made that particular statement.

Hollywood does indeed seem to be stuck in a rut creatively. But the whole point of the Kwisatz Haderach is that he is the product of a systemic, long-term, genetic planning program run by the Bene Gesserit, fueled by their understanding that women can't do what such a being can accomplish. Their plan is to control him. Their entire sisterhood are able to do what they do because they stick to the background and don't make naked grabs for power.

Even David Lynch understood that. 2024 Hollywood, not so much.

Would bet the ranch that the written broadcast scripted results' of the debates are being drafted now by the Dem/Commie media. And temporarily the media collusion may bump up Biden. But as Bannon says the lived experience of Americans will bear NO resemblance to anything potato head says or that his dick-sucking media writes that he said.

436 Only a complete mauling in a debate (first Romney/Obama debate, for example) nudges the poll numbers at all anymore. Given the rules that Trump agreed to, these debates will be essentially draws, just like their debates 2020.

You do have to chuckle at those who are surprised when *gasp* Trump agrees to bad deals and surrounds himself with morons. Helloooooo... Just this week he's been sitting in a courtroom listening to his own idiot, perjured ex-counsel testify against him. The Apprentice was fiction, folks. Trump is many things, a hiring savant is not one of them.
