Backintheday544 Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Pulling out the ads makes you wonder too if Trump thinks he's going to lose. After the reports came out the campaign was struggling with money, Trump tweeted that he would personally fund the campaign. Why isn't he funding ads in major swing states? 1

He tweeted a billion times yesterday. Trump losing with dignity is unlikely.

Ofcourse it wouldn't be his own dignity. If we learned anything the past 4 years, Trump is in this for himself. He's doing it to save his own money.

I say this as someone who bet on Trump earlier in the summer. I give this an 80% likelihood of being reconsidered by the Trump campaign. Just like the “no stimulus negotiations until after the election.” If the Biden campaign were smart they’d just schedule him to be somewhere else far away on debate night so they have an out when Trump reconsiders and comes crawling back.

BillsFanNC Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 The only way I'd maybe agree to a virtual debate if I'm Trump is if each campaign is allowed to have a live representative present in person to monitor the opponent for shenanigans. Teleprompters, off camera coaching etc. 1

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 The Agent of Chaos doesn’t want to hold a Virtual debate? Mr Twitter said what? He just doesn’t want his mic muted when his time is up so Joe can talk uninterrupted. 1 1

keepthefaith Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Pretty weak on the part of the commission. Why is it necessary to move debate location to virtual if Trump can test multiple times that he's Covid-19 free? Obviusly that would be a stipulation but why make this change now when it's quite possible and likely that the President is cleared before the debate? Why not just have a contingency plan (virtual) in the event he isn't? https://www.debates.org/2020/10/08/cpd-announces-second-presidential-debate-will-be-virtual/ Edited October 8, 2020 by keepthefaith 1

So test each day between now and then and require negative tests 24 hours before game time or go virtual, and Trump should debate however it's done.

This is a town hall with actual audience members. Not the same format—general public runs this one, which is why the slide to virtual makes a bit more sense if Covid is a concern.
Westside Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 21 hours ago, shoshin said: Yup. Biden is in victory formation for 3 weeks. Just needs to handle the snap on first and second down. He can only lose in a debate. He's going to lose weather he debates or not. The support for Trump is overwhelming. Biden, hardly at all. The people know what's going on. Quite frankly, they are tired of it. 1

The voting gap is something that I’m not sure DJT can overcome at this point. His erratic behavior (even for him) lately belies his worry. I wonder whether Ds will vote in person enough to decide Nov 3. Edited October 9, 2020 by shoshin 1
