Does anyone think tfg will actually go through with debating President Biden? [View all]

My gut says he won't. At least not both. And if he does debate, I predict it will be disturbing to view. All of the vile verbal lava he's been having to retain during his time in court will come spewing out at high velocity and I doubt anyone will be able to get him under control.

I think they should issue the moderator a taser.

Here is a musical response to the question flakey_foont May 16 #1

Lemme guess, you read the title but sarisataka May 16 #16

DEFINITELY the case. AnrothElf May 16 #25

Have heard the song 50 bazillion times flakey_foont May 16 #45

We can ignore that he has engaged in debates several times sarisataka May 16 #61

The coward part of the song title flakey_foont May 16 #71

How about this one? lees1975 May 16 #51

It's an ugly song MorbidButterflyTat May 16 #67

Very doubtful. anciano May 16 #9

It's 50/50 depending on which few working synapses are firing at the time. He could easily be trolled into it ... marble falls May 16 #10

My prediction months ago was that Trump would make ridiculous demands; Joe would tell him to shove brewens May 16 #11

Yeah, that's how I pictured it PatSeg May 16 #59

Probably do the 1st one, then be critical of the process and say it's not worth it. Fla Dem May 16 #12

I am skeptical that Trump will show up for debates. Midnight Writer May 16 #13

Sorry Teacher, I shit my pants again... ProudMNDemocrat May 16 #24

Yes, he will. BlueTsunami2018 May 16 #14

This is correct sarisataka May 16 #17

Good point birdographer May 16 #30

Perfect!! Fudster May 16 #55

Trump needs those debates. Biden doesn't. There will be no debates. bucolic_frolic May 16 #20

Key question - will the moderator be able to mute the mics for interruptions and going over time limits? TheRickles May 16 #21

Yes, those were Biden requirements that Trump accepted. AnrothElf May 16 #26

That should be an automatic mike cut-off after the allotted time. No moderator needed for that. erronis May 16 #37

Thanks, AnrothElf and erronis. Good news. TheRickles May 16 #56

I doubt it. It hasn't worked in the past. LeftInTX May 16 #64

I think the June one gets pushed back Johnny2X2X May 16 #22

How about a real HOT mike with a baloney activated "dead short". jaxexpat May 16 #23

He won't, and he will blame everyone else but himself. louis-t May 16 #27

He won't back down. He wants the attention, and will try and violate any debate rules. The number of JohnSJ May 16 #28

Agree. He loves a big audience too much. nt Bobstandard May 16 #53

I would be surprised but it is way too early to predict. Happy day all. twodogsbarking May 16 #29

Here's what I'm betting on. KS Toronado May 16 #31

Great question. I'd give it a 50-50 chance. On one side, Dump doesn't want to look weak or afraid to debate Biden. Martin68 May 16 #32

Will he fall asleep during the debate? birdographer May 16 #33

I don't think so ._. May 16 #34

Not without an audience so he can turn it into a shit show. -nt CrispyQ May 16 #35

Maybe. TFG has already agreed to the conditions, but Ocelot II May 16 #38

I'm not sure. He's a narcissist so he either thinks he is the smartest man on the planet and will win or Quixote1818 May 16 #40

I'm expecting him to be indoors at a secure facility in NY and unable to attend. Convicted felons in NY usually do not Ford_Prefect May 16 #43

Okay, I'm confused. I know this must be a trick question, and I'm pondering what my reply should be............ usaf-vet May 16 #44

HAHA! Siwsan May 16 #48

He does not have a choice Roc2020 May 16 #46

I doubt it very much. I think his "people" know it would be a mistake... however, liberalla May 16 #47

Who cares? Debates are a joke. Pretty much always have been. malthaussen May 16 #50

Yeah, Trump will find some excuse to duck the debates. sop May 16 #52

Wouldn't be surprised. trump did show up twice in 2020. Think he'll be desperate enough to show up (and act like ahole). Silent Type May 16 #54

Or a soaker gun. camartinwv May 16 #57

No ananda May 16 #58

He for sure won't debate if Kennedy is included, so no 2nd debate is my guess. lark May 16 #60

No duckworth969 May 16 #62

TFG does not have the funding/money to otherwise compete against Biden LetMyPeopleVote May 16 #63

Yes. Trump never avoids an audience. TeeVee or otherwise LeftInTX May 16 #65

He avoided all the audiences for the GOP debates. ShazzieB May 16 #70

Rec'd for the taser idea! KPN May 16 #66

No, of course not MorbidButterflyTat May 16 #68

Betting whether Trump will debate or not should be on FanDuel and giving decent odds. SupportSanity May 16 #72
