Poll - will Joe Biden Debate Donald Trump on National TV?

[comana]

In the past, it wasn't for political reasons. Now it is.

Past Trump is the same man as current Trump. He hasn’t changed his behavior to lessen the possibility of lawsuits.

The reasons are different.

 

[stevil]

It's not like he's being sued left and right... right?!?!

If a person commits multiple crimes, do you just pick 1 to charge him with? Or is he to be charged for each crime?

You're not going to convince me (or anybody) that Trump is less lucid than Biden.

Well, trump is more delusional. One cannot believe a word he says.
And in all his testimonies under oath, "I do not recall" and "I don't remember." were his go to catch phrases.

All the more reason for Joe Biden to debate him - since Joe is mentally sharp and Trump is a criminal battling dementia, it should be a no brainer. Like shooting ducks in a a barrel - Biden has the mental edge, he has nothing to hide - so exposing Trump as a criminal and a liar in a debate setting would create a landslide victory for Joe.

Oh, he has another phrase he likes even more!

1. I once asked, "If you're
2. 6 innocent, why are you taking the Fifth
3. 7 Amendment?" I was asking that
4. 8 question.
5. 1. Anyone in my position not taking
   2. 16 the Fifth Amendment would be a fool,
   3. 17 an absolute fool.

Q. Mr. Trump, I take it you are not going to answer any questions about your preparation today with your counsel; is that correct?
THE WITNESS: Should I say this or should I respond to that?
MS. HABBA: Just read that.
A. For all of the reasons provided in my answer, which is incorporated herein in its entirety, I decline to answer the question.

Q. With that note, sir, you are currently the president of The Trump Organization; is that correct?
A. Same answer.
Q. And when I refer to "The Trump Organization," is it accurate to describe that as the trade name for an umbrella organization that holds assets beneficially owned by you?
A. Same answer.
A. Same answer.
A. Same answer.

Americans are moved by that kind of garbage behavior. I dont think we should indulge that appetite.

Trump rallies seem to support this statement.

From what I understand when you take the 5th, you have to take it for every question

Why wouldn’t Biden want to expose all this in a debate on national tv? Can you imagine the landslide election he would have?

I hope they do, I'm looking forward to the Weird Al remix.

We actually don't have to imagine it.

Well, it would be hilarious if Trump took the Fifth at a debate, but I don't think any presidential debate has operated under a sworn oath to tell the truth. So this is not a reason for Biden to debate him.

Nevertheless, as I said before, I think Biden should absolutely debate Trump, and do so under the auspices of the Presidential Debate Commission as Trump has graciously offered to do.

I would be ok with the "debate" if the candidates sat at desks, wrote out their answers in real time, and then someone else read them.

Or, possibly acceptable would be a live debate but not broadcast nor recorded in any way - except for a transcript the public sees later.

That sounds like an extremely accurate description of Joe Biden to me. in my opinion.

No, one big difference is that Biden is not authoritarian while Trump most definitely is (DeSantis even more so).

Combined with him being one of the most authoritarian President in recent history - you have a valid point

A debate won't sway anyone. Each side will continue to make excuses for the failings of the candidate they have nominated since it is now it is too late to get another. America will be stuck with one of these two as we seem to not be capable of nominating/electing more competent people who should be in office.

For those who want to watch the spectacle, they will most likely debate anyway.

"It is important, for the Good of our Country, that Joe Biden and I Debate Issues that are so vital to America, and the American People," Trump posted Wednesday. "Therefore, I am calling for Debates, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE! The Debates can be run by the Corrupt DNC, or their Subsidiary, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD)."

Trump calls for debates with Biden as he sets up second podium onstage at rally​

Former President Donald Trump set up a second podium onstage at his campaign rally Tuesday in Wisconsin as he called for debates with President Joe Biden.

“We have an empty podium right here to my right. You know what that is? That’s for Joe Biden. I’m trying to get him to debate. I’m calling on crooked Joe to debate any time, any place, we’ll do it anywhere you want, Joe,” Trump said as he pointed to the empty podium at his rally in Green Bay.
