President Trump said Thursday that he would not participate in a virtual debate, minutes after the organizing commission announced that next week's event would be virtual to protect the health of those involved.
“I’m not going to do a virtual debate,” Trump, who was diagnosed last week with the coronavirus, said in an interview on Fox Business, claiming the Commission on Presidential Debates is “trying to protect” Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

“I’m not going to waste my time with a virtual debate. That’s not what debating is all about. You sit behind a computer and do a debate, that is ridiculous,” Trump continued.
The commission said Thursday morning that the second presidential debate on Oct. 15 in Miami would take the form of a virtual town hall meeting “to protect the health and safety of all involved.” The commission said the candidates would participate from separate, remote locations and the moderator and meeting participants from Miami.
The president was diagnosed with COVID-19 on Oct. 1.

After Trump’s remarks, Biden deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield called for the town hall event to be postponed until Oct. 22 — originally the date of the third debate — so that Trump “is not able to evade accountability.”
Trump on Thursday indicated that his campaign was not informed of the commission's decision before it was announced.
Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said, “This was a decision they made without consultation with our campaign but it’s in line with their history of doing everything they can to protect Joe Biden.”


The Hill has reached out to the commission for comment.

Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien, who also was diagnosed with COVID-19 last week, issued a statement Thursday morning, describing the decision by the commission as a “pathetic” effort to “rush to Joe Biden’s defense.” He said that Trump would hold a campaign rally next Thursday instead.

Stepien issued an additional statement Thursday afternoon, asking that the second and third debates be pushed to Oct. 22 and Oct. 29 and held in person. The Biden campaign rejected that proposal, however.

The developments seem to guarantee that next week’s debate will not happen as planned and inject uncertainty into the final debate, currently scheduled for Oct. 22. Trump has insisted that he won the first debate last week, but his aggressive performance has been criticized by Republicans as a missed opportunity that may have turned away some voters.

Before his COVID-19 diagnosis, Trump had signaled he would oppose changes to the two remaining presidential debates. The commission was weighing changes in order to instill more order, after the first debate descended into chaos last Tuesday as Trump frequently interrupted Biden and Fox News host Chris Wallace struggled to maintain order.

Trump’s campaign has accused the commission, which describes itself as a nonpartisan panel, of working to assist Biden.

The president’s phone interview Thursday morning with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo marked his first interview since revealing his coronavirus diagnosis last week.

Trump insisted he was feeling “perfect” and that he doesn’t believe he is contagious, while signaling eagerness to return to the campaign trail to resume his large rallies, which have been criticized for eschewing public health guidelines. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that individuals self-isolate for at least 10 days after the onset of symptoms from COVID-19, which has killed more than 210,000 people in the United States to date.

“I don’t think I am contagious at all,” Trump, who began working from the Oval Office on Wednesday after remaining in the White House residence, insisted.

--------------------------

After breaking the rules of the first debate (all people brought needed to be tested within 72 hours of the debate) or lying, Trump like a total coward has ran from the second debate. I remember when all the cocky, complacent "conservatives" were telling me that Biden would run from the debates and hide, yet when the hour dawns Trump is nowhere to be seen? He has no shame and the emperor has no clothes

Called it.

You were right all along, I admit it. I still maintain Scully tearing off the veil was the final straw.

 

[Jimmy Durante's Ballsack]

Nah. Steve Scully, the moderator of the second debate, exposed himself as colluding with Trump's Twitter enemies by mistakenly putting a DM out in public yesterday. He tried to claim he was hacked.

Not only did Scully try to claim he was hacked; both C-SPAN and the Commission on Presidential Debates toed the line for him:

"Steve Scully did not originate the tweet and believes his account has been hacked," C-SPAN said in a statement. The Commission on Presidential Debates has stated publicly that the tweet was not sent by Scully himself and is investigating with the help of authorities. When additional information is available, we will release it."

Now maybe the guy was hacked. But it seems like a pretty weird hack. If they show me proof of it I'll believe it; but it seems very unlikely that the man's account was hacked solely to deliver this laser-targeted attack, which the other individual subsequently responded to. It just seems weird and I do not trust these people. And it's all sad.

Nah, it's not true. Scully claims he was hacked whenever he posts something stupid on Twitter. He has a history.

Wait... really? This has happened before?

He gets hacked quite often:

Right in the Scully thread, yup.

 

[Jimmy Durante's Ballsack]

Right in the Scully thread, yup.

This is an excellent case that proves how biased the media are against Trump.

Trump campaign already capitalizing on this unforced error.

 

[Slimy Time]

So, clowns then.

Yup, they are the "principled conservatives" who would rather lose an election on dead issues than win with an unorthodox candidate. Some of the Republicans (Cruz, Graham off the top of my head) are on the ball and know it's better to have Trump in and back him up in spite of him not being GOP or a career Republican because what he does is working to win and put them in power.

I hate the "principled conservative" more than I do the leftists.

 

[Cherry Popcicle.]

The clown show continues. I can't tell you who will win the election, but I can sure as shit tell you that we will all loose.

 

[Occam's Spork]

you have serious and unironic brain problems if you conflate debate threads with opinion pieces from news outlets.

I know they say americans are dumb but jeez

Except I wasn't conflating anything, I was taking exception to your posting style here, which usually involves lame attempts at gotchas whenever it involves President Trump. Again, I get it, you dislike him greatly. Unfortunately for you, and fortunately for anyone who has even an inkling of support for him and his policies, you are completely powerless to do anything about him except post your opinions malformed by your own derision here or anywhere else.

As for your insult, well, I can't say I'm surprised at it, and I'm certainly not offended in the least. Whenever left wing people like you (but not all left wing people) are called out or have to defend their positions these days, they resort to sloppy insults and childlike discourse firsthand as a matter of course for some reason I doubt I'll ever completely comprehend. Maybe people that think like you never matured past a certain age. Maybe you just love to level impotent vitriol at your political opponents for some reason. Maybe when pushed on your viewpoints, you have no intelligent reply to them, so you say "no u" in so many words because those viewpoints are based on a hollow concept of what should be without taking into consideration the realities of the situation?

I don't know, and to be frank with you, I don't care all that much. Posts like yours are why I rarely bother even trying to reply to known left wing partisans like you and HHH. I would say Made in China/Tuscantarder too, but they're so unimportant that those posts barely register to me anymore.

Also, you're still Canadian. Cope and seethe, etc etc. Have a good one, left guard.

This is now going to give more credence to people thinking Trump’s campaign are working with anti-Trump people to make this happen because they only want him to do four years and leave.

Don't let Graham fool you, he becomes super Republican around 18 month before his reelection race. Right after an election he's pretty close to a McCain.

Fucker has been doing it for decades.

 

[Sexual Chocolate]

The moderator being biased doesn't matter, the moderator being biased and having his mouse cursor hovering over "mute" when Trump is speaking is why it would've been a bad idea for the President to do this Zoom call. No shitlib in the world would be able to resist cutting him off repeatedly.

Joe Biden's supporters weren't happy after the last debate either, so they're smart to take the out Trump's given them. The fewer opportunities Biden has to look decrepit and feeble on television, the better for his campaign.

And the last debate was a shitshow anyway, it was like watching geriatric Lawrence Olivier wrestle senior citizen Gregory Peck in the old man fight from The Boys From Brazil

So everybody wins here, except television. And fuck television, Philo T Farnsworth shoulda stuck to farming.

Nah. The campaign is already challenging Biden to a debate without going through the Commission. He won't accept, showing that he is a weak candidate who needs jannies to cover for him.

Oh well. It doesn’t matter either way.

According to Biden, I’m not too black to vote for him anyway.

Trump is a retard who has visibly mismanaged most of the crises that have come his way and who is poised to lose to a man who can barely string two sentences together. I guess "unorthodox" is one way to describe that.

 

[Someone Awful]

Normally I'd be worried about his, but considering that Scully fucked up and was exposed as a fraud anyway.

*shrugs*

When he gets re-elected, what will you do? Cry? Kill yourself? Masterbate furiously that you'll have four more years to cry ORANGE MAN BAD? All three?

He's not left-wing. He hates gays, Jews, and other minorities, and I believe he's bitched about Trump being 'weak' on foreign front. He's sucking Biden off for the same reason Bush, etc are. APC is more like the Canadian version of a neo-con, which is probably the gayest shit on earth.

 

[RandomTwitterGuy]

I love that the Trump sluts are out in force "We have to protect the fat retard from having to use the computer" sorry, but maybe president door knob licker should have not gotten Corona.

This is place is more or less r/Donald only more faggoty.
