The Presidential Debate Commission Is A Farce

[Bryce]

First, they line up a moderator, Kristen Welker, whose family has donated thousands of dollars to Joe Biden and who took her father to the Obama/Biden Christmas party in 2012.

THEN, they scrubbed the foreign policy portion from the upcoming debate, choosing to cover the exact same subjects as the first debate. If anyone thinks this wasn't done to protect Biden, you're kidding yourself.

Another 15 minute segment on climate change?

I think it's too late to do anything now and Trump would look weak if he were to boycott now, but AFTER this election cycle, Republicans should announce they're boycotting the commission.

I wonder what process (if any) is used to vet potential moderators.

What they SHOULD do is just have 2 moderators, each hand-picked by each side, and they should be able to each pick whoever they want. Get rid of the commission entirely.

And for each of the 3 debates, one should be focused on domestic policy, one on foreign policy, and one free-for-all.

As to selecting venues, I don't know you would do that.

So, no comment about the how Trump does nothing but interrupt and scream?

If you notice, the last debate was the start of the end for his chances...

I would submit that when you go into a fight and find out at the last minute that you're going to be fighting two people instead of one, it's best to go on the offensive and quickly.

Trump 2020 senior adviser Jason Miller told “The Story” host Martha McCollum last week that he thought Welker would do an “excellent job.”

“I have a very high opinion of Kristen Welker,” he said. “I think she's going to do an excellent job as the moderator for the third debate. I think she's a journalist who’s very fair in her approach and I think that she'll be a very good choice for this third debate."

Yeah, 10% of the population dealt with fires nearby their home. Are we supposed to ignore that?

Maybe they should be talking to the kooks that run their state capitols.

Chris Wallace did what he could to get Trump under control. Trump brings these things on himself.

Additionally, both campaigns agreed the topics would those chosen by the moderator. Obviously there can be only one resolution, that being Trump yet again turning yellow and chickenshitting away from participating. No sweat of my brow if the man running second in the race scurries away once again.

So have a broader topic on the environment in general. But Democrats are always fixated on one single part of the environment - the climate.

How about an in depth discussion on how carbon emissions caused the glaciers that once covered the Great Lakes to melt
